Saturday

We just got home from the first pre-season game.  Eagles beat the Bulldogs 42-6.  My baby is starting this year and looking rather awesome out there.  We had a delay due to lightning in the area.  Better safe and all.  Our star quarterback took a hit during a scrimmage so we had one of our backups fill in.  No passing, only hand-offs, but still a good show.  The stands were crowded, which is great.  Last year's attendance wasn't too great until the playoffs.  I'm hoping the enthusiasm stays high.  The team is good and will only get better.  I'll keep you posted.

Time really seems to be flying.  School starts Monday.  Alex got his mohawk cut off today.  The new school does not allow mohawks or spikey hair.  They say it's distracting.  That's a load of crap.  I can't imagine if I didn't do my homework and had the nerve to blame someone's haircut.  I'm pretty sure my mom would have hit me with something.  But, people always need to have something to blame so...  He has a short haircut, which looks good, but he is not happy about.  Tomorrow I'll dye what's left of the top brown again because the green is even more distracting than spikeyness.  I just didn't have the heart to do it all in one day.

We also went and got new shoes.  He said he didn't need them, but I can't have him show up looking homeless on the first day of school.  The rest of the year he can look homeless, but not the first day. 

Tomorrow, we'll be at Six Flags.  Yay us!

On a side note:  I really wish I had a muscle relaxer for my back.  I finally used up the last of a prescription from two years ago that was supposed to last a month.  I'm not a druggy, but I'd happily pay for one of those babies right now. I'm off to bed.  Is it too early to ask who's going to be where for Thanksgiving?
