Mind you, we are coming off of a long (and emotional - see later in this blog) week that was filled with two birthday parties, one Saturday dinner - boys included, a wine tasting fundraiser that I organized for Gift of Adoption, in addition to our regular mayhem. We are wiped and thanks to this #$@%$* time change, we haven't slept past 6 am compliments of Charlie (curse you Ben Franklin)! So what the heck ... why not drag our raggedy bodies to a game with a 5 year old that's swinging from Jeckyll to Hyde about every 30 seconds. Soldier Field isn't that far from our house - about a 20 minute drive. Jet was in awe of the tailgaters ... of which we were not participating ... we were actually looking for sources of caffine and edibles. We went right from the parking lot to the stadium. So after about 1 1/2 hours of waiting for anything to start on the field, the game was finally underway. Funny thing about being only 48" tall ... you can't see squat when fans are standing in front of you. The game becomes very boring, very quickly and all sorts of whining and interesting chair sitting positions ensue. So the game started at noon and about .... oh 12:30 ... we were heading to our car thanking god that we didn't bring Charlie. Had he tagged along, we would have made it, with any luck, to the National Anthem. So we decided that the best viewing place to see a Bears game for the next few years may be in the comfort of our own family room, with a big bowl of popcorn, toys for the boys and all the heat that a home can provide.
Now as per the emotion of our week, we are sending out prayers and get well wishes to our sister in law Penny, who was diagnosed this week with Leukemia and to my father who took a nasty tumble that included 3 broken ribs. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if we can help in anyway. We love you both dearly!
