FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!

Well, this past week was about football. Christian played Tuesday....nobody "won".....they don't keep score. But believe me, the Lions win every game! It is always close, I have to admit, I lose count because more than likely each team score on each possession they have. They try this play, they try that play, then they finally give it to the token "fast kid" and he usually runs down the field with no chance of anyone catching him and SCORES! Christian will probably win the award for the most flags pulled. He has made that his priority in his flag football career. I mean, I don't even have to keep count....after each flag pulled, I hear "Mom! that was number ........!" followed by a thumbs up. When they give him the ball to run, he still hasn't gotten past the "shock and awe" factor of actually having the ball and all those kids coming after him. We Rees' don't have the "gift of juke" mind you.

Jake's team beat Inskip 40 to 0. I think each boy got to play his "dream" position. By the time we got to the last 2:00 of the game, the 200 lb lineman was running the ball. Jake did score one or two touchdowns. There were also two girls on the opposing team. Some tough ones I do have to say. My dad always told me I should have been his linebacker. I mean, I was built more like a football player than my two brothers. Little did we know I could have tried it! They two girls go by "Big Momma" and "Baby Girl". Let's see.....maybe I could have been "Daddy's Linebacker" or "Baby Sister". Not really, I would have rather climbed in a hole for the rest of my life than played football at the awkward age of 13. My dream was to be the cheerleader, although it never came true. I think that is why the Lord gave me all boys.....so I wouldn't just make my daughter be one because I wanted to.....she probably would have wanted to play football. I do have to admit, I would much rather be watching football than cheer leading competitions. I mean, in football, if Jake gets upset with one of his buddies, he just plows over him, calls him a few names, texts them for forgiveness, and they are over it. If I had a cheerleader for a daughter and she got into it with her cohort, she would probably have a myspace dedicated to blasting , humiliating, and with ugly pics made up by the cohort she is feuding with. Thank you Lord, thank you!!!!I

Jamesen starts Boy Scouts tonight and has his first Cross Country meet tomorrow. The running is definitely doing him good. I am so proud of his dedication. Now the talking in class is another story. Christian too. Man, that gift of gab really gets us in trouble.

Mom did get to take in the Ole Miss / Wake Forest game in between runs to the Movie Theater to take Jake. I had promised him that he could go Saturday night. He decided on Saturday afternoon because his "friend" Emi could only go during the day.Wow, that says a lot for him to miss Ole Miss on TV. He also ended up spending the night out, only to stay up all night playing video games and watching Freddy Krueger which he dubbed "lame". We picked him up after church just in time for him to shower and head to the tutor. After a dip in the pool with Jason, Christian and Jamesen, we got ourselves ready for another busy week. And yes, the wiener dog spends a lot of time with his head on that pillow. He's not spoiled or anything. Quite pathetic huh?
