Friday Night... SMACKDOWN!

 


We've had a change in plans for the no-glow experiment. Friday nights in this house belong to WWE Smackdown. In 2026, they tell us we should spend less time in front of screens, but I'd argue that when the whole family - Ryan, the girls, and even Angel and Chris (from afar) gather around shouting at the TV, it's as analog as it gets. For us, it's not about the blue light. It's about the shared adrenaline. It's about the predictions. It's about the collective "OMG" when a finisher hits. 

There's something special about the tradition of a Friday night match that brings out the best (and loudest) versions of us. it's the one time of the week where the mental load is put on pause and we just let ourselves be fans. 

Tonight's vibe: 

  • Snack status: Pizza and a veggie tray
  • The house divided: Is it Cody and Randy or Sami and KO? 
  • The memory: Looing over to see Mack and Mads just as invested in the storylines today as they were when Booker T was in the ring... 
Some traditions are meant to be 'glowy.' We'll get back to the candles and Legos tomorrow - tonight, we're here for the MAIN EVENT.

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
