Here it is, Super Bowl Sunday 2008 - one of my favorite days of the year. I just can't get overly excited though. For one, I freaking hate the Patriots so it makes me mad they're in there. We usually have the SB party here at our house, which is always fun. But now that we're here in south Ga, we don't do that anymore. Instead, we meet up at the Country Club and have the party there.
I didn't want to have the kids up there tonight (otherwise I wouldn't get to see ANY of the game) so I made a deal with Ashley to watch the younger three kids. Everything works out that way, right? Um, not so much. In the 2nd quarter, we get a frantic phone call from Ashley that there is a fire in the kitchen. Tommy tells her to get the kids and go outside, he calls 911, and I get in my car and rush home. I'm seriously doing 75 mph with my hazards on to get there asap. To my surprise, I show up and everyone is inside, watching tv, no firetrucks are anywhere....wth is going on?? Turns out, Brad started to cook a pizza (even though he knew he wasn't allowed AND Ashley told him no). Somehow the pizza caused a fire in the oven. The fire was put out and a neighbor came over to help (he just turned the breaker off for them).
I'm EXTREMELY relieved but soooo pissed! I'm pissed that Brad chose not to eat what I'd made for them before I left, that he disobeyed my rules (no cooking when parents aren't home) and Ashley, and that I spent 10 minutes shaking and crying while flying home because it turned out I was worried for no reason. I just knew I was going to pull in to a House Flambe' and I was concerned for the kids and the animals (our dog just had puppies and are currently housed in the dining room). Thankfully God protected!
We will need a new stove now. I guess this is a sign that we need to get on with our remodeling plans for the kitchen? :)
The best news of all, beyond the kids' wellbeing, is seeing the Patriots really struggle in this game. Hopefully the Giants will keep their lead (or even increase it!!) and win tonight!! Go Giants!!
