Let's not relive this Thanksgiving

What a strange Thanksgiving!  Got up Thursday morning and wasn't feeling well.  It quickly progressed to feeling bad and by 11:00 my husband was cancelling our dinner plans at his parents and heading to Walmart to buy some more stuff for a dinner at home.  I was in no mood for food, though and stayed in the bedroom while he slaved over an entire dinner for himself.  Bless his heart!  Our son was up snowboarding until dinner time and I was no company what-so-ever.  All I wanted to do was sleep off a terrible stomach.

Friday, I was hoping for relief and as much as I tried to say I was feeling better, my stomach was not agreeing.  We had the kids over for the BSU/Nevada game and I could only make it to half time (we were ahead at that time).  I went in to lie down just for a bit and the next thing I knew I heard screaming from the living room.  Our beloved Broncos were in trouble.  How very sad... they lost such a very close game.  The kids left and I got up and had a bit of chicken soup.  Finally, food that stayed down!  I stayed up until 3am (it was midnight when I had my dinner) and went back to bed. 

Saturday; Could it be? I actually felt a bit hungry.  A bowl of rice crispies and, HEY! Not bad!  I was able to get some laundry done, fiddled around with some card-making, and even had a small bite of dinner.  I decided to get on the scale and found I'd lost 8lbs. in the last couple days.  (Not for long, it'll be back in a matter of 2 days easy!)

I haven't even been able to watch the news or look online at college football.  It's not that I am so devastated at a loss for BSU... It's that I just am not in the mood to hear all the talk of how BSU was a "never-was" team that didn't belong ranked to begin with.  I know that some of the big schools and big football programs don't believe we belong, but those kids are amazing.  They are a great team, with a great coaching staff.  They were, and still are.  I don't want to hear people discuss our wonderful kicker, Kyle Bratzman.  He kicked goals that allowed wins to happen in the past.  He did not lose the game.  I don't want to hear it.  Not yet.  I pray the kids on that team do not take the game to heart. I pray Kyle knows his fans and Bronco Nation still thinks the world of all his hard work.  Those who do not, are not true fans.

In the grand scheme of things, we need to remember, they are all games.  They are just kids playing.  I am often quite disappointed in the actions of sports fans and I pray this time will be different.
