College football, mommy guilt and more (it's a good title, trust me!)

Are you ready for some football??? That's actually the "tagline" for professional football, but it's a relevant question at our house. My boys hatched a plan to turn NCAA football Saturday into an event. They've promised to clean the entire house today, shop for the necessary food to nosh and watch football all day Saturday. Our only involvement, cook the food please... and don't cancel the cable! (They lost cable last fall for watching TV instead of doing chores and homework... apparently one season without football was enough to transform their attitudes.) Tomorrow, we will watch -- no doubt SEC and ACC games -- the Big Ten doesn't get any respect in my neck of the woods!

Ellie's not into football yet. She knows to cheer for the Buckeyes. And she knows not to ask to watch "her shows." With three big men in the house, she'll be vetoed every time! She needs to make a collage "All about me" for school next week, so she'll contentedly (in my dreams) cut and paste magazine pictures on her paper. Check out this great collage idea... not sure Ellie will go for it, but I think it's awesome!

Speaking of Ellie, did you read yesterday's post? Here's a picture of her in her Friday hair bows. I didn't think to snap one for the blog yesterday. Isn't she adorable?!

Big bows and a bit distracted :D
Now, about that mommy guilt in today's title. I'm on the radio!!! Luann and Ramona at Encouragement Cafe are featuring labor day stories on their weekly radio show. I'm sharing my mommy guilt moment -- in the delivery room!!! I hope you'll stop by and be encouraged not to let your mommy guilt overwhelm you! Labor Day Stories! Let me know what you think!

I told you the title works! May your weekend be blessed. Love Jesus today. Show his love to others. And ENJOY your family!!! Wherever you go.

Love,

Doing a silhouette collage is a unique idea!

Becky,
Thank you for your comment! It's been a popcorn brain kind of week -- I hope to regain my focus next week!

Love,
Karen

Hubs and I are huge football fans. We like college but we are big Redskins fans. We have been without our beloved football because of cutting costs and ditching DirecTV. This year though we have an antenna and we bought an online pass to NFL.com.

Glad that your boys had a successful attitude adjustment. Miss Ellie looks wonderful in her bows! I hope she had fun putting her collage together.

Have a blessed weekend!!

Congrats on your radio spot - that's awesome!
And your little one looks proud and happy in her bows.
We are football central here in our home, too, and I only have one big guy here - lol...I totally understand your situation! Our remote gets hijacked and that's just the end of it!
Have a great holiday!
