Saki Bombs, Football and I Got My License!

Uh? That's right, that's what I said, I got my license. There's nothing like feeling 16 again. Apparently, my license has been expired for almost a year now!! When I went into the University on Monday to sign all of my new hire paperwork they told me to bring my license. Ok, no biggie. When they went to make a copy of it, they asked for a valid license. Uh? That is a valid one, it's the only one I have. No, it's expired. I simply and cheerfully corrected them that no, it expires next week, on my birthday. They simply and cheerfully corrected me and said no, it expired last year on your birthday!! What? How embarrassing. No biggie right? Wrong. When I went to the license bureau to get my license renewed I learned that I have to take BOTH tests over again. Thank God I passed both of them. Talk about embarrassing.

Which is a great segue into my next topic and explains the Saki Bomb above. I got bombed at a baby shower. That's right, leave it to me. I'm blaming it on Michelle because she started the bomb business. But, really it was all my fault. We'll leave it at that and let your minds wonder as to what happened.
Unfortunately for me, we had to get up Saturday morning and head to KC. Alex won tickets to the Chiefs game through CYFL (Columbia Youth Football League). It just so happened to fall on the same weekend that Heidi and Joe were moving. So, I had to get up and try to make it to KC to help move and make it to the game. We didn't get out of town until 11. Martin was a little irritated with me, but it turned out to be a good day. I was just tired and a little queasy all day. Can you tell? Terrible picture, bad angle. Oh well. The game was fun and Alex and Addie had a blast.

Sunday was Alex's first game. He got to do the coin toss and start. He had a lot of fun and is already talking about playing next year. He got to meet Gary Pinkel on Monday night. Martin forgot the camera in the van. Alex got to shake his hand. That made his day. I didn't get to go. I love Gary Pinkel and think he so hot. It's always been a joke with me that I'm going to hop on the back of his Harley and ride off into the sun set with him. Martin called me and said, "guess what Gary showed up on?" OMG, I'm so sorry I didn't go. But, I didn't want to drool all over him in front of my husband.

The Hodge family came to help cheer Alex on. As well as Gammy and Papa, Kalynn and Emma and Papa and Loey. He has already established a fan club! So, to end this post, I'm finally there. I'm really starting to get excited about my new job. I met some of the staff on Monday and they were so nice. I know I'm going to work my ass off and once school starts it's really going to be tough, but I can't get it out of my head, that, I'm going to finally, some day, be a nurse!!!
