What A Come Back

Good morning.  Last night, if you went to bed at half time during Monday night football…you missed the greatest Monday night come back ever! In the first half the Broncos special teams didn’t look their best….nor did the offense.  At half time when I went to bed we were down 24 points.  The Mr. stayed downstairs and watched the game.  He came upstairs with play by plays …long pass completions, touchdowns, forced fumbles picked up and run in for scores and interceptions.  You name it and the second half had it.  Hurray for the Broncos!  The players were all so humble in the after game interviews….nice that they share the glory.

When the boys got home from school we went through their Monday folders. These folders have all of their work from the previous week, notes from the school and teacher communication. Both boys did well on their work…it’s nice to be able to go over any mistakes and make sure the kiddos understand what may have gone wrong.  In the youngest’s folder we went over two math mistakes that were actually correct, so I’ll send them back and he will get credit for the answers.  At conferences I showed his teacher a paper that he had correct answers on and she told me to always send them back in if I find mistakes.  You see…she corrects all of her own papers over the weekends and I’m sure it’s easy to get tired and miss a few things.

Today we re going to Oxford Farms for any veggies they have.  My friend, Carrie and I are planning to can beets.  I just have to figure out if we can do them in a water bath or if we need a pressure cooker.  In any case it should be fun.  Carrie’s mom has a recipe that contains a ton of sugar…we are going to omit the sugar and use balsamic vinegar instead. Yum..I hope.

I took it easy yesterday, as per instruction from my husband and my Dad. (Moms too) Iced my head often and pretty much hung out on the couch…fun fun fun. The doc said 4 to 6 weeks for the nerves to die…just in time to give “Thanks” on the third Thursday in November.

June is putting Bunkie down today.  She is having the Vet come to her house at 11:15.  Her son is with her and I will go down before we leave for the farm to give support and say my farewell.  It’s really kind that he can be at home, and since he gets shots everyday anyway the shot from the vet will be business as usual.  I’m so glad he can be at home…for him and for June.  It’ such a hard thing to do anyway…at least he’s at home.  June’s son is with her and she will be going with him to Seattle for a few weeks on Thursday.  I hope the trip goes well for her.

Time to get the boys moving for school. My great husband is on the way home from the gym, Have a great day,
