Hey all you Football Fans! If you are wanting an update on Red Demon football then, this ain't the post for you! As I write this, my husband is cheering excitedly from the next room. Yelling "KAN-SAS CITY!!! Summer we might actually be good this year!" His Red Demons won on Friday and now his Chiefs are winning on Sunday... But quite frankly, football wise I just am not ready.
I have another big event on the horizon. It is called the Kansas State Fair. This year Sydney and I will be cruising up there with Mom and Fred and Hammer and an RV and a Horse Trailer to watch Sydney compete in her first every State Fair. I am a complete rookie. I have only been at the State Fair to eat funnel cakes, taste test turkey legs and maybe watch Ronnie Milsap and the Oak Ridge Boys back in the 80's. I really don't know what I am doing. That is why I am taking reinforcements (mom and Fred) They will help back in the trailer, feed the horse, calm the nerves, charge the cameras and shine the bling on Sydney's outfit. I think it should be fun, I just hope we make it through without any major family feud. LOL She is 13 you know...To her "Mom" is already kind of clueless in her mind, but I am truly am out of my league in the 4-H, Horse, Goat, Pig, Chicken, Farm life Arena.
Why does my husband get me into this? He is the one that purchases all these animals. He will be totally comfortable on Friday night with his headset on, with absolutely no doubt what play to call. His confidence level will by sky high and his emotions in check. Meanwhile I will be totally faking it, walking around Hutchinson in my cowboy boots, pretending like I totally know what I'm doing. My nerves will be frazzled and my self esteem completely shot as I see all these Professional Horse Moms getting it done!
I would truly be more comfortable at the football stadium with flip flops on my feet and cowbell in hand. But I guess this is what you do for your family. You put on your big girl panties...or boot cut, bedazzled, jeans in this case. You put on a smile and have fun, because sometimes life is about being uncomfortable and clueless and making sacrifices for your family. I sure hope they appreciate me. Or they might find a pointy toed boot shoved straight up their. ...Hey, Have a great week. I will be back next week with updates from the Kansas State Fair and Red Demon Football. Until then, Happy Trails Partner.!
