THE "F" WORD

No, not THAT "F" word, get your dang mind out of the gutter. These "F" words:

FOOTBALL - Anyone who knows me knows I get giddy when football season rolls around. Not many sports to watch during the summer - baseball, golf, tennis. Eh, no thanks. Give me touchdowns, helmets, the Colts (they won today by the way), and a TV remote and I'm good for a whole weekend.  

FALL - Happy Fall is Officially Here Day! Absolutely love this time of year, my favorite season by far. Goodbye hot, humid, sticky, nasty weather. Hello crisp, cool temperatures, sweatshirts, Halloween, bonfires (somebody needs to invite me to one just sayin), pumpkin and apple-flavored food and drinks. It all brings me much happiness.

FRIENDS AND FUN - My BFF and I packed up and headed to Lexington (about 80 miles away) yesterday for the Blake Shelton concert. Had an absolute blast. Met some friends for drinks and dinner before the show. They dropped us off at Rupp. It was an awesome concert, Blake put on a good show. Met up with some other friends after the show for more drinks. Got a taxi back to the hotel. Yep, that's right, I left Colby overnight again. Two times in 2.5 months, that's just crazy talk. It was so nice spending time with my bestie. Just the 2 of us, being our usual goofy selves. Ready to do it again soon!

FIVE - The number of days in a week Colby has gone to school the past 2 weeks. All 5 days, Colby you are so awesome. He had a really good week at school this past week. I never thought I'd see the day when he could go to school this much. There are some nights he's definitely tired, but not over-the-top tired/exhausted. Such a big boy. Very, very proud of him. Another F - FUNNY eye gaze story. They were in class one day, and one of Colby's classmates, well, no other way to say it, farted. The kid passed gas right in the middle of class time. Colby looked at his eye gaze and said, "really?" Is that not hilarious?! I said oh he did not, and his nurse said, yep, he certainly did. Never a dull moment in that classroom for sure.  

FORWARD - The direction I wanted Colby to drive his chair today.  As in okay Colby, you are to follow directions and drive straight ahead to the end of the parking lot. What Colby chose to do was right turns, left turns and playing with the recline and leg rest functions. He was told ahead of time, look Colby, you have a choice. Do what's asked of you, drive forward, plain and simple. If you make the choice not to do it, your punishment will be no Spongebob for the rest of the night. Thank goodness Colby's nurse is here because we're kind of making her out to be the bad guy. Colby had 20 or so chances to drive forward, he chose to do the other stuff. Hence, therefore, as a result, no Spongebob for you, little mister. Then on his eye gaze he said, "come, dad, dad, dad, Spongebob." I'm like oh heck no, Colby. There is no going to your daddy and getting out of this one. This is the decision you made, deal with the consequences. This child's stubbornness is wearing this mama out!  

Time for me to get to watching the football game. More in a few days when I get some time or something worth blogging about occurs, haha.
