Superbowl

So the Giants won the Superbowl. I think it was 14-10.
The poor Patriots didn't end up having a perfect season after all. They shouldn't feel bad though, (well, not too bad). They still have 3 other Superbowl wins from the last 7 years alone.
Eli Manning, the QB for the Giants, now jons his brother Peyton as a Superbowl champion. Their father, Archie, must be incredibly proud. He played in the NFL too, but never won a ring. There is one more Manning brother. No one knows his name. I think he's a janitor. I'm sure they love him anyway.

My Weekend

I haven't had much chance to blog this weekend.

All the boys were out of school for the 3 day weekend. We had to problem solve and make up a sign in sheet for the computer so everyone had a chance to play World of Warcraft for 30 minutes at least once every 3 hours. I would think we are going over board with this but it seems to be such a bonding experience. Even those who aren't playing often sit around the computer to watch the others play and talk about it. So it feels like a family activity.

The downside is that since I am the only member of my 7 member family who does not have a W o W character I didn't feel a need to put my name on the waiting list for the computer, and didn't get to blog, or view all of my other favorite blogs, much. I did however, (finally) get all the Christmas lights and decorations down, cleaned and organized the garage, drained the water heater, did the dishes (about 3 times), scrubbed the kitchen counters and cabinet fronts, mopped the floor and scrubbed around the edges and corners with a brush, baked brownies, deep cleaned the boy's bathroom (gross!), washed and folded 4 loads of laundry, took Mark to the game store, and made dinner (Jambalaya!). And that was just yesterday.

On Sunday after church all I did was watch the playoffs and took a nap, so I guess I felt like I should do more on Monday. But the 2 teams I was rooting for won. It's going to be the Patriots and the Giants in the Superbowl. I haven't decided if I'm going to root for New England to have a perfect season, or for a second Manning to get a ring a second year in a row.
If I was a betting woman, (or knew a local bookie), my money would be on the Patriots. They are unreal this year.

The kids are back to school today (Hooray!), but we have appointments most of the day so I will be busy again. No rest for the weary, -or the insomniacs, (which I seem to be becoming lately).
