ROOOOOOOOOOLL TIDE

Well, it's that day again. The day I dread all year. The famous, or I should say INFAMOUS,  Iron Bowl game between Alabama and that other team. I'm already nervous. I SAY it doesn't matter to me---but already my stomach is in knots!!!!!! We were supposed to have been in New Orleans this week-end, but the job Terry has there wasn't ready enough so we had to wait. I was really HOPING we wouldn't even BE here! But, we are. I think all the kids but Katie/Jon are going.  Of COURSE, Jon is nervous, too, he just won't admit it! HE being the big AUB fan!!!! How in the WORLD did Katie end up with a boyfriend going to AUBURN of all places?! HAHA!  O.K., so even Jon has one fault, other than that, he's nearly perfect!!! Imagine he and Katie watching the game together! HAHA! Last year , Katie became a FRY OUTCAST by wearing a blue/orange outfit to an Auburn game. Her brothers (and Brook Dodson!) gave her so much grief about it that I think she gave the clothes to the Good Will! She's admitted that EVEN IF SHE LIVES IN AUBURN if she and Jon get married, she will FLY THE CRIMSON FLAG! (right Jon?!). HA!....Anyway, back to TODAY. I would love to be there, in some ways, but I get to darn nervous. Kind of like my daddy always did during the game. Not as bad as MICHAEL, but I do tend to freak a little.  (Terry, on the other hand, just leaves and goes plays golf and calls and asks me, "who's ahead?!" Then, if Bama is winning he will listen. Otherwise, he rants and raves about THE COACHING! That leaves me here, alone with the T.V.---trying to decide. Do I watch or not?! SO, being the gracious and loving grandmother I am, I volunteered to babysit so the OTHERS could get nervous and freak out while watching it LIVE! HURRAH. I can get my mind OFF the game for awhile by reading JAY JAY the airplane or playing with Lily and her baby doll! It's Lily's turn to spend the night tonight, too, (so I can wallow in my sorrow --if we get beat-- by hugging my little girl as she goes to sleep! ) I WON'T sneak a peek at the T.V. Well, maybe once or twice. Like KICK OFF?! or.... UNLESS I get an excited call from one of my boys from T-TOWN screaming their joy! THEN I will! HA HA HA HA! Oh, well, whatever happens, agony or ecstasy  ROOOOOLL TIDE!
