Today

My oldest is home sick today.  He has been sleeping with his brother for the past week to help him transition into a big boy bed.  When I went in to wake him up for school, he was awake.  He said, "Mom.  I did not sleep good because of him."  His cheeks were flaming red.  So sad because today was the day he was turning in his science fair project.  His Daddy took it into school for him.  He also requested chicken noodle soup for breakfast.  Thankfully I had some rotisserie chicken leftover from last night.  

We had our life group over last night to watch the Superbowl.  Poor Cristina.  Know the words, please.  As for the halftime show, I thought it went over really well.  For all of the haters out there, you have no idea how much goes into planning that 10 minute show.  You have minutes to set up and no mic check before you go one stage.  

When I was a junior in high school, I was in the Superbowl halftime show.  They called on a lot of cheerleading squads from all the high schools in the Atlanta area.  Our entire squad was in it. We practiced for 2 months, 3 to 4 times a week, for hours at a time.   Many times we had to practice outside, in the freezing cold, January weather, on football fields. All of this while going to school and still cheering for basketball.  We had 1 regular rehearsal at the dome and not all of the artists could be there.  We had a dress rehearsal and yet again, the Judd's weren't there.  Once it came down to the show, it was crazy!  And yes, they have to lip sync because of the sound in stadiums.  All in all, I enjoyed the experience.  So much work for just a few minutes of entertainment.

We had so much fun with our life group last night!  We have a great group of couples.  We wrote down our predicted scores for the game.  I WON!!!  Well, sort of.  I was the closest without going over.  We had a HUGE amount of food and thankfully most of it was eaten.  We all watched the game and enjoyed the commercials.  The kids stayed in the playroom.  Some of the toddlers wandered out, but they were not a distraction.  It was just another night of living life together.
