The question I've been asked most often this week by my friends has been "does he have a brother?" lol (yes, as a matter of fact he has two. Unfortunetly, they're both married). Since our date, we've talked on the phone twice and exchanged at least a dozen emails. It only took him until Monday afternoon to ask me out again; lunch this Friday. There has never been a slower week in the history of my life.

In other news:
The Boy has done wonderfully at football. Last Friday's Varsity Game, they put him in even though he is only a sophmore. Not only did they stick him in at the end of the second quarter, but he played the entire second half; both on the offense and defensive lines. We won 67-14. His first Junior Varsity game was the next morning. He didn't play as much or as well though because he was still exhausted and pretty beat up from the night before. We still won though, 32-12.

I've joined the Football Boosters and attended my first meeting last night; officially making me a football mom. I think I felt the last of my youth slip away on the drive there, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In any event, I know I'll always be the youngest (and thereby cutest) mom there. They, of course, could smell fresh meat and I've already been snagged for volunteer duty. I get to sell 50/50 tickets at this Friday's game. The Boy has forbidden me to embarrass him in any way. Party pooper.

The Girl is on a mischievous rampage and I think I would sell her if she wasn't so damn cute. However, if she steals the maple syrup to use in her kitchen set one more time and continues to use her new bedding set as the table cloth while serving her maple syrup dinners, you will see her on Ebay.
