OK, so it’s not like I missed the whole game, but it was a different Super Bowl experience this year. I’ve always been a huge sports fan, especially the NFL, and I don’t think I’ve missed a Super Bowl since I was 10 years old. When else do have the excuse to eat chips and dip for dinner? Smile

For the past 7 or 8 years I’ve been hosting a Super Bowl party, and this year was no exception. But boy, what a different crowd . Usually no one is under the age of 21! But yesterday, our home was filled with little ones running all over the place. Tough to watch the game when you’ve got to be worried about who’s hand just went into the guacamole!

I’ll admit, I snuck away from the kids long enough to see some great plays. And my daughter was the hit of the party with her touchdown pose every time we yelled “touchdown”. Mommy’s little girl.

I guess it’s something to get used to for the next couple of years. Funny how as soon as you suddenly have kids, you also have new friends, who also happen to have kids. But hey, that’s what the whole “mommy” community is about!

I can’t complain too much, the team I was rooting for won. And from I’ve read today, the game was pretty boring for those who were fortunate enough to be able to sit down and watch the whole thing. Now, if I could just recover from this junk food hangover!
