A momentous night tonight, indeed. Superbowl night. I took the monkeys to my parents’ house for our annual Superbowl party. Josh-O went to a buddy’s house. (It’s always “buddy” on Superbowl night.) Of course, there are some important highlights we need to talk about.
First. Cheaty has a new crush….

Holy hottness, Kurt Warner! It’s only because he is so dang hott that I’m sorry the Cardinals lost tonight. Otherwise I could have cared less. (I mean, ‘cuz there are so many hotties on BOTH teams.) I was just happy it’sgrandma bathed the kids at her house while I got to sit on the couch and chow down on whole-grain tortilla chips and popcorn.
Second. Cheaty loves Jennifer Hudson. But, I mean, who doesn’t after her performance tonight? If you didn’t catch it, and even if you did, here’s the vid…. (BTW, note how many times the cameras zoomed in on a certain KURT WARNER. Sqeee!)
After everything she’s been through — her mother, brother and nephew violently taken from her — this performance had even more meaning, was even more poignant. It gave me chills. Made me actually cry. I never cry….
…That is, except for ALL THE TIME lately, since my little guy won’t sleep and is so miserable during the day. He’s getting over a big fever, and teething, and exhausted from shrieking all night. Everyone’s giving me advice, and I’ve tried everything. I just need emotional support at this point. Unlike advice, support is never unsolicited. And, I’ll take it. Hold me….

There’s only so much I can tell people “I’M SORRY, I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN DAYS.” But, I do. I HAVE to. Because, most of the time, I’m a bumbling mess. Sigh…. Anyway….

Oh yeah, and Bruce Springsteen was definitely THE BOSS tonight. He actually redeemed himself. Since, for the last 20-ish years, I’ve hated him for throwing what I thought was the most boring concert EVER in the history of concerts…. Maybe I’m just older and wiser now. Definitely sleepier….
Definitely LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF. By myself. At the post-Superbowl episode of THE OFFICE!
Love!!!

Dear Rascal,
Push those teeth through! Then you need to sleep. Solidly. For as many hours as your mama needs you to so that she can feel better too.
Love,
Heather

Aw Haley! I’d be a wreck if I was going without sleep like that. Hang in there. The teething has to end eventually!

have you tried a frozen teether for that Rascal? I know you didn’t ask for more help. But I swear by those teethers…there’s still one in my freezer right now cuz they’re great for mouth injuries (like when DD took a header into the coffee table!)
That Kurt is cute! We didn’t watch the SB…in fact we didn’t have the TV on almost all day.

I hope the Rascal is feeling better.
Gord went to a SuperBowl party. I took advantage of my alone time and worked. I’m wild and crazy! Ha!
I bet we were at the same Springsteen concert! Here in Toronto years ago? We got free tix. I’m not a big fan of his and found is a big snoozer.

I realized my crush on Kurt Warner last night, too! My boyfriend thought I was crazy because I kept making comments about how hot he was. Glad to know I’m not the only one who thought so:)
