cough cough ouch cough

This cold got me! I though Grif was taking forever to get rid of this cold, then I got sick. I now know this is completely different cold. So much fun. This is a chest cold, I hate chest colds. I never get them, I hate to cough. It hurts. I almost thought we were headed to the ER last night to get Grif a shot of steroids so he could breathe as he was coughing NONSTOP. Between otc cough medicine, cough drops, water and his inhaler I finally got him settled down. Humidity doesn't help when it is already humid here and there is no cold air here to try that either. lol It is morning and no coughing now, figures.

We had a birthday party yesterday. Family is from Peru. They had rented a pavilion at the park. They had ponies for horse rides, a train, music, a bounce house, snow cone machine, cotton candy machine. The food was wonderful. Grilled burgers, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, briscuit, turkey/chicken legs. A lot of things I had no clue about. I can't imagine throwing a party this grand. Shoot, I didn't do this much for my wedding! This was the birthday boy's first birthday!

We had soccer ratings yesterday for Grif. If you didn't play this league last year you had to be rated. They want all teams as equal as possible. There will be approx 40 teams for the 6-8 age group! This is just my town, soccer is BIG here. We start this as soon as football is over. Mid Nov. I think every Saturday will be filled with a sports even til the end of time.

We had a football game last night. Normally I wait til the paper prints its review to tell you, but I am too proud to keep this quiet til Friday. Riley scored a 40 yard touchdown! Woohoo! More details later on. They won. They are undefeated. I know he had fun last year playing, but undefeated this year is a lot more fun. I believe there are 5 more games, one will be a real test as they are GOOD! I have to go get him a tie and dress shoes this week. He has to dress up for the pep rally for the homecoming game. I suppose he needs something nice to wear but I swear it will just sit unused for the next 9 months until another freak event happens.

Today, we do nothing! {I think Cam is off work} I think all of us are just plain worn out. Chris is the only one not exhausted, he had to work and didn't have to entertain Jack all evening long. He gets the brunt of it next weekend. We have an away game next weekend. Will be another long Saturday. Oh and of course Sunday is Griffin's birthday. I "think" we are taking him to Miami's Sea Aquarium. http://www.miamiseaquarium.com/ Similar to Sea World. If we didn't have football we would head up to Orlando, but don't want such a drive for a day trip. Oh Friday night is birthday dinner with Papa Bob, my mouth is watering already for my grilled fish tacos I had last time I went to Muddy Waters. http://www.muddywaters.biz/index.html
