What a long day. Got to the field--it was packed because of delays due to MINOR injuries..no where to park .Finally found a place in the grass near field.It was wet and muddy.so I went into the park--I wanted to move car later when there were spots open.WELL I went back and tried to move--I got STUCK in the mud--DEEP!!The more I tried the worse it got..I was spraying mud all over! I have an S.U.V. and thought I was ok when I parked--NOT!!So I went to the concession stand and the park manager got me a few strapping young men--who drove me back to the car in a golf-cart w/ some wood--We all pushed and rocked the car out--then I had to drive it out VERY slowly. They were angels.DH was at work..I had called him but of course all he did was chide me ((chide--a good word--Huh?) for parking there.GRRRRR!!So I thanked the boys who helped--I only had 7 dollars cash on me..I told them I really wanted to tip them but they said no problem..Thank-God cuz I was low on cash. I will take care of them tho next time-they saved me a tow-fee!!Anyhow DS's team WON!! 18 to 0!!They were so happy and cute--jumping up amd down w/ their helmuts in hand( they are 10 year olds)So I let Logan pick the dinner--he wanted club sandwiches from deli--HOW could I say NO!! So much for Mexican--another time.Dh is at the stadium at a pre-season NFL game--watching our Superbowl winning Tampa bay Buccaneers. so I am home w/ kids and relaxing finally. Hope everyone had a good day!! mel

Oh my Mel, you certainly had a day. How very nice to have some strapping young men around to help get you out! Sorry about your dh. I think *chide* a very good word!

But on to the good news. Yay, your ds didn't get hurt in the game and his team won! I bet they really were excited (as were the proud parents). :)

Hope you get to go out for that dinner soon. :)
