Ok....So Ellie got sick and I got sick (Hayden game), I stay sick through the first of the next week and Kenny starts feeling cruddy, and Ellie says her ear hurts...yes infection (Walker Week & Big rival). Ellie on antibiotice and Kenny gets a full fledged sickness (West Point Week). Ellie is still on antibiotics, still coughing her poor head off and snotty. Kenny is still really fatigued and coughing his head off (starting Fort Payne Week)! So can someone please tell me when my family will be back to "normal"?? I feel like someone has been sick of an eternity!!
Well Ellie had a great accomplishment this week...no "accidents" at daycare. She is doing so well with her potty training....Now dropping her off at Daycare in the morning is another challenge in itself. She use to be so easy...I would say lets go and she would run to the door, but her teacher then adored her and spoiled her rotten! Now she has moved "up" and her new teacher is more structured (which is good!) but Ellie is NOT excited about going!! She refuses to get out of her chair in the morning and go to the car and often pitches a fit when I leave. It makes leaving her so hard, and add on to that she's been sick too and I am lucky to make it to work on time!!! Every morning is an event!! Once she is there and I am gone everything is good though. It's not like she crys all day....at least I know that and that helps!
Kenny has been sick all week and you know guys, they are such babies when they are sick!!! I think mine is the biggest baby of them all when he gets sick. Although I can sympathize with the fatigue part of his sickness since I had it! It just makes life so difficult when your worn out from your day and you have two sick "babies" to take care of when you get home in addition to the laundry, picking up the place, and cooking.
In addition to being sick, Kenny has been dealing with the first lose to Rival and Region team Walker since her started coaching at Cullman. It was a rough lose for him. The community was upset, the players were upset, and most of all the coaches were upset. Kenny knew it would be a difficult game with the offensive side of the ball since they has lost so many great players last year. The younger kids had not clicked yet. The lose instigated some changes in this team. Hopefully it will help them to appreciate every win and help change the direction of the season. The coaches work so hard each week and the players have to "click" I think after watching this weeks game that may have happened this week!
At West Point we came away with a HUGE win!!! Our offense was clicking and our defense was hitting hard. Our special teams still needs some work, but over all we looked pretty good. Still made some mistakes, but much improved from the first three games! Kenny actually went on the field at half time (normally he's in the pressbox). Howeve that move made my night MUCH more difficult...
We have a VERY ACTIVE little girl and when she saw her daddy on the field all she wanted was to be running on that field with him!!! She screamed at him to get his attention from the stands. She waived at him to get his attention. She yelled for him to come get her. She demanded from me to go. At 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter I gave up. I packed everything up and we went down to the track. It had a fence separating it from the field and she could run. In the begining she stayed right where he was...then she eventually just started running and playing on the track. That was the best thing I did all night....just let her run. By the ending of the 4th quarter I knew she needed to go potty, but she was adamant that she didn't and I knew if I picked her up and took her, she would pitch a fit up the entire bleachers. So I rolled the dice to see if she would make it to the end of the game. At 3 minutes till the end of the game I lost that bet! She had an accident on the track of the football field. I just got her together, took her to the film truck, and our wonderful film guy John and his wife Sharon let me change her in the trailor. We were in and out before the 1 minute mark...noone was the wiser (except for the fact her shorts went from white to pink! LOL). After the game Ellie would not let anyone spend time with Kenny. She took his hand and would pull him away from everyone who wanted to talk to him! She was NOT going to SHARE!!! HAHAHA!! She so misses him through out the week! She is often in bed before he gets home...
Overall a victory improves your week and weekend so much!!
