Has It Really Been A Year?!

I am a master procrastinator.

Everyone thinks I'm this "get things done" kind of girl, but what most don't realize is that I'm a "get things done" kind of girl - at the very last minute!

That is why I have been sitting at my desk doing everything I can to put off having to write the history of one of my client's, for an event they have coming up in two weeks. My deadline is yesterday.

As my mind was wandering around the internet, I thought about this blog and realized that it has been a year since I started SportsMum. 365 days chronicling our life - as I said in my first post, the good, bad and very, very ugly.

What started as an adventure into finding another source of income (I've made a total of $63.56 over the course of the year, lost all but two of my Google Ads to some mystery computer glitch, and had almost 8,000 visits) has turned into a wonderful journal for my family.

Providing the world wide web remains a piece of our lives, I have opened a window into a year of our lives that my children can forever have access to.

So my grand adventure in making money has really turned into a grand adventure in providing my children a history of our family.

The best is yet to come...

Football Is Fun!

I love watching my kids play sports - any sport except football. Or that was the case until yesterday.

The mother in me hates the aggression and physical brutality of football. Helmets and shoulder pads crashing into each other with such force as to knock the other guy silly.

It's particularly hard to watch your child get the worst of it...but that was then.

Cameron has found his inner beast. I never thought I would love seeing him hammer another person into the ground, but when it has a huge impact on the outcome of the game, it is REALLY exciting. That's him going for the legs of the running back...a pretty convincing take-down.


Of course, as cornerback, it's not all about taking someone down. It also means being taken down yourself...especially when you're about to intercept a Hail Mary pass. He had it in his arms - you can see it rolling away to the left. The shot's a little fuzzy because the camera was jumping up and down in excitement!


Final score 21-13.

What Happened To The Pictures?

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been including pictures in my posts for the past several weeks. That's because I "thought" I had left my camera battery charger at my parents house in Canada. When they sent the "charger" this week, it turned out to be a rechargeable battery charger. Mine had been on the floor of the van the entire time!

Sooo...I took pictures last night! Friday Night Lights pictures.

It was a GREAT game...:)

Hallelujah!

52 hours.

Our lights came on at precisely 12:23 a.m. ending the longest power outage in our family history.

How's the saying go?...If you love something, let it go, if it comes back it is yours, if it never returns it was never yours to begin with.

Power is MINE!
