TGIFT

I was sitting here thinking I really need to update the blog, but couldn't decide what to talk about. All I have thought about for the last week is Thank God It's Football Time. I love football, it's been apart of my life since I was 8 months old. My parents started taking me to Texas High games at that age. I've been a fan ever since then. It's been a good weekend, THS won, Dallas Cowboys won, Baylor won, and Texas is up 51-10 in the 4th so I'm sure they will pull this one out. I brought my kids up on football, Lesli started going at 5 months and loves it as much as I do. Like me she loves College Gameday and pretty much plans her Saturdays on who is playing and when.... it isn't a good idea to join this family if you don't love the sport. There are some that have discovered this through the years. They have tried to change things but have never succeeded.
My mom went to the hospital on Monday with a bladder infection. Her doctor came in her room on Wednesday and told her she could go home and she would see her at the ballgame on Friday night. Obviously, everyone knows how much this family loves football, and don't even think about trying to change us....

Are you ready for some football...

What a beautiful morning it was today, low 60's, just perfect for football.. I took mother to the coach's chat for lunch, so she could get all the info on the team this year. She was more interested in who all was there than what will be going on on the field come Friday night. She is so determined to once again climb 16 rows to her seat, I'm praying come Friday night she will decide to ride the elevator and sit on the platform in front of the press box. Who in there right mind would want to have to climb that many rows and sit crowded when you could have what is like a luxury box. They have even told her she could get food out of the press box if she wanted it. I think it's the fact that she wants to be seen so everyone will know she's still making it to the games starting her 63rd year. Her eyesight and hearing are going, but she will be there on Friday night still fussing at the referees on the bad call they made, even if she didn't really see it. Hope everyone has a great season and all the players stay healthy. As for me I'm ready for College Game Day, I love that show....and college football. Let's go LONGHORNS!!!!!
