Football

Where has September gone?  It feels like it was Labor Day, then I blinked and now it was October.  Ariana must have felt the same way because on October 1st she told me she had to go flip her calender.  When she got in her room I heard her laugh and say, "It's still on August."  So she missed the whole month of September.  lol.

September was a whirl wind.  We had the start of school, which was a big deal since now we have a middle schooler.  Then dance started up so our part-time hobby of Dion Taxi Service resumed.  Next we had to throw in a birthday.  Which she still hasn't had her birthday party and she reminds me of this everyday.  We just didn't have a weekend to include one.  Oh, and don't forgot curriculum nights at school for the girls and the fact that I get home really late from work.  I think now that all the school year has started and we are getting back into the rhythm of it all that maybe it will slow down.  Yeah, who I am kidding?  Having kids who are involved in activities means we will always be busy.  I guess I'll keep my running shoes on.

Last night my parents came over to visit.  While they we here my dad told me about why Ariana doesn't like football season.  When the girls were over and his house and saw that football was on, they  both groaned.  My dad said, "What, you don't like football?"
Ariana replied, "No."
"Why not," my dad asked.
"Because it's always on."
"Well, that's because it is football season."
Ariana being the feisty one that she is replied, "It's not football season.  It's more like swearing season at our house."

My dad thought that was great.  He could just imagine what it was like over here with Trevor watching football.  I have to say, Ariana is completely right.  It is swearing season.  It's amazing the teams Trevor is rooting for ever win.  It always sounds like they loose.  So figure.
