We had a very nice weekend here. Friday after my in-laws left my husband spent hours getting an antique toy Lionel train to work. He was finally successful (after three trips to a hobby store) and we got the trees put up that evening. With my horrible head cold, that was all I could manage and we called it an early evening...until we realized Garth Brooks was on TV. He is pretty much my all-time favorite singer! The kids stayed up with us and we all sat and watched the show...I loved sharing it with them.
Yesterday was our favorite football game of the year...Ohio State vs. Michigan. We expected a blow-out and got exactly the opposite. OSU won a one point game when Michigan elected to go for the win on a two point conversion at the end and didn't make it. I thought that was a great finish until I was watching the end of the Auburn vs. Alabama game. HOLY SH*T! As OSU fans we are almost as happy as Auburn fans! The BCS just got interesting!!!
Today Andrew is leaving for school trip. I was livid when I realized (just last weekend) that it was this weekend. Who takes people away from their families at the end of the holiday? I always thought it was bad enough that they did it in December, but this is ridiculous. The fact that there was a miscommunication and didn't learn until last week that it was this weekend made it tremendously much worse. As I've explained to Andrew, there just isn't a lot of leeway in my emotions. I'm not constantly sad, but I just don't have a lot of emotional stamina to deal with other things. He's been gone 45 minutes and I'm ready for him to come home.
My cold is better, and the house is mostly decorated. Time to start putting stuff away and getting back to reality of school days!
