I've COTTON Idea

Do you remember that scene in Cinderella where the mice are discussing how Cinderella never has any time? 

"Every time she gets a minute, 

That's the time when they begin it . . .

Cinderelly, Cinderelly, CINDERELLA!"

Yeah, well, that's the scene that plays through my head most days. I have two sweet, adorable, precious, wouldn't-trade-em-for-anything-in-the-world little girls. 

But they occupy a LOT of time. Throw in an attention starved dog. And a husband who's been putting in 12 hour days at work for almost 2 months. 

RESULT: One tired momma.

HOWEVER, when we got an opportunity to go down to Dallas to see the Wildcats play in the Cotton Bowl, I knew it would be a great time to get away. 

A chance to let Grandma spend some quality time with her baby girls.

A chance to rest from dishes, cooking, laundry, etc. 

A chance to talk to my husband without being interrupted.

A chance to SLEEP!

We left on Thursday night around 6:30 p.m. 

And ya, I know what you are thinking: 

Those idiots left at 6:30 PM? 

Don't they always talk about how Emma is up all night and Lexi has the energy of The Hyper Hypo? 

Idiots!

Well, we were extremely tired, but we haven't had a chance to talk to each other since . . . Emma was born . . .8 months ago . . . 

Oh Dear. 

We talked the whole way down to Dallas. 

6 1/2 hours without a radio. 

It was so nice. 

We tailgated for almost 7 hours with my family and the cool kids next to us with an LSU tent (at least it was purple). 

Cowboy Stadium is insane. 

Insanely Awesome. 

 

The game was . . . intense. 

I have invested a lot in this particular group of guys.

I watched every game. I read articles. 

I have yelled at televisions for these guys. 

And they played hard, but twas not to be a victory. 

We still had a great time. EMAW. GO CATS.
