Flannel Sheets and Fantasy Football

Wow! What a weekend this was for our family. It really wasn't that exciting in a fireworks type of way but it was a really good weekend that was much needed. Friday of course was the last day of school for the girls for two whole weeks so it was kind of special anyways. Cheyanne went to the mall with two of her friends and her friends mom and went shopping for Christmas shoes by herself for the first time, Todd, Heather and I played Mario Cart on the Wii and they had a great time (I kind of suck). Saturday we dropped the girls off at my parents to go to the Candle Light Pavilion for the Christmas Show and Todd and I went to dinner at Outback (Yum!). I won't bore anyone with tales of the food & drink but it was good and we needed some time together by ourselves. It was really nice. We then went to our friends the Mes's and everyone showed up there we played pool, did karaoke to 80's songs and just generally got stupid and had a GREAT time. Of course all good things must come to an end and the hour drive home in rain, wind and bad fog in the pass wasn't so much fun but we made it home safely, slept in on Sunday and that is where the flannel sheets and fantasy football came in. Todd and I both are in a Fantasy Football League and the semi finals were last night, Todd won his and I am only behind by 1 point (thank you Vincent Jackson!) and I still have Jay Cutler to play tonight and the guy (Todd's big boss) I am playing is done. It is very likely that I am going to win tonight which means that Todd and I play each other for the $280.00 pot. Yippee, how cool is that? While all the Sunday games were taking place Todd and I did some last minute Christmas shopping and bought ourselves some flannel sheets. We wanted an electric blanket but at $70 for ours and then $40 a piece for the girls that was just too much money so we settled on flannel sheets for all of us. We also got the two of us new pillows and last night OMG I felt like I was sleeping surrounded by softness and we were so nice and warm. I can't even describe how nice it was to be so warm and cozy. Well that was it for my lovely weekend, tonight should be good and tomorrow Todd has a second interview with another company so things are looking up for next year if he gets this job. Here's hoping the luck of this week continues for next year. I am going to try to get back on here again before Christmas but if I don't have a Merry Christmas, may it be peaceful and filled with love and happiness! Love ya!
