Well, tomorrow is the last time that my daughter Krista will be out on the field marching. Like I have said before the last four years have just flown by. Krista tells me that they have changed the routine a little bit for tomorrow night’s show for the seniors (there’s more than 30 seniors). She says that it will bring tears to my eyes and my reply was that there will already be tears in my eyes. I mean, it’s the last game. I know, I know I’m dwelling…sorry. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow but I hope that it holds off…at least until after the game. I’m going to be videotaping it (I borrowed Kecia’s new Flip). So maybe I can upload it on here or put it on Youtube. I can’t wait to see the “new” routine!!

Another Friday night and another loss for the football team. I feel really bad for them but at least they go out there every week and try. The band did good (or at least I think they did but you know I am a band mom). Some of the people on the opposing team were really rude especially the announcer. In my opinion he should be replaced. Between the third and fourth quarter, the opposing team had some kind of ceremony or announcement (it was senior night and they had already had a ceremony pre-game and another ceremony during half-time) and our band had been playing not realizing that they were having another ceremony….honestly. So after the ceremony, the announcer said over the PA system that he would like to thank our band for playing during their ceremony. That statement upset a lot of our band parents….not to mention our band director. So after the game (and after we performed since we were told that we had to play post-game), the other band director and some of his band parents stopped us in the parking lot and said that the announcer sent his sincere apologies for making that statement. So I guess it’s all good and since this is Krista’s senior year I guess we won’t be playing there anymore. At least not until wrestling season and that starts next week.
Yes, wrestling practice starts on Monday for Zach. This is what he’s been working toward since he was 4 years old (that’s when he started wrestling). I mean, wrestling for the high school (it just seems unreal that my little boy is in high school…oh well, another story another time). He got his physical Thursday and got all the forms that the school requires along with the special form saying that he is healthy to wrestle. The school seems to think that he is underweight (his BMI is too low). Anyway, he’s been to the wrestler’s meeting with the coaches, got his physical, and the form for the team’s fundraiser….so he is ready!! The fundraiser is a Lift-A-Thon…which is that he (well, we) get sponsors to either pledge (like 5 cents a pound) or a flat donation. Then on Nov. 14th, they will have the Lift-A-Thon and there each wrestler will bench press as much weight as they can and his sponsors that pledged will pay whatever they pledged per pound times how many pounds that he bench presses. I think this fundraiser will be great. Well, enough said about wrestling. You’ll be hearing enough from me when the season starts….I can’t wait! I love this sport!!!

Tonight we have the third game of the season. We have one win and one loss, so a win tonight would be nice. The game is home, so there is no driving 50+ miles to an away game which is also nice.
Krista is having to get everything she needs for the game (she’s in the band). So she was running around this morning like something crazy. Maybe she got everything, such as black socks, black short (to wear under her uniform) and her black gloves. Usually I get a call asking if we can bring her something she forgot.
Well, I got to finish getting ready for work. One last thought:
GO INDIANS!!!…..and have a GREAT day!!

If you have the gang over to watch the big game then you know you’ve got to have food to munch on. A good dip to make is Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Dip. It’s quick to make and it’s really good.
Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Dip
- 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
- 1 lb. (16 oz.) Velveeta Cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 4 oz. (1/2 of 8 oz. pkg.) cream cheese, cubed
- 1 can (10 oz.) Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles, undrained
- 8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
Combine ingredients in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 5 min. or until Velveeta is completely melted and mixture is well blended., stirring after 3 min. Serve with tortilla chips and cut-up vegeatables. It makes 4 cups or 32 servings, 2 Tbsp. each.
ENJOY!
