Heartbreak and Disappointment

Morning…Oh, the nail biting Broncos game.  I am still in shock that the defense let those guys get open for the bomb, twice. The last 31 seconds of the half to tie up the half and the last 30 seconds of the game to tie it up for Overtime. The Mr. was still up at 3a.m. listening to the bitter end.  He and his partners were invited to watch the game at a fabulous home above Sienna. He told me it look like something out of a James Bond movie. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful your surroundings nothing can take the hurt out of a loss like that.

Grandma is also not feeling too jubilant this morning…not only did the Broncos lose…but the 49ers had a record game to beat the beloved Packers. A double dose of misery.  Only Grandpa Bob, Gram Annette, Aunt Jean and a few other Californians are doing a “Happy Dance” today.  Just think of me as  Switzerland for a while.

On the home front it is freezing!  It is so cold that there are ice crystals hanging on the inside of my bathroom window.  They are beautiful, but quite unwanted.  I hung blankets over windows in the oldest’s room.  He has the coldest room in the house.  I may have to invest in energy efficient window coverings for our rooms.  The deep set window sills don’t offer much insulation from the cold, or the heat for that matter.

Both kiddos are asleep and I hope they sleep in until at least nine.  They can use some extra zzz’s.  The youngest fell backward last night and really hurt his wrist.  It didn’t swell and I iced his wrist right away.  Hopefully he will forget about it and we wonn’t have to make a Sunday afternoon trip to the doctor.

We may try The Hobbit today..if we can all agree.  I’d like to take the kiddos to the rec center, but with the Flu epidemic I don’t dare.  Maybe I’ll have them do 30 minutes each on the eliptical.

God Bless

I can’t resist posting a picture of my niece…she is so darn cute.
