Great weekend! Friday was a great day despite the Jackets' 51-7 loss at South Panola. Friday brought with it some rough weather but I love weather - good or bad.
Saturday turned out to be a great day. Got a near perfect run in Saturday morning. I didn't run too hard, just a nice comfortable pace.
Spent a fair portion of the rest of the day watching college football and even throwing the football around myself some. Obviously Saturday night brought Mississippi State football and trick-or-treating for the kids. Went over to friends' house for both. Fortunately (or unfortunately if you were the kids) most of the houses in the neighborhood we were in were empty, which meant we got back to the game quickly.
If you know me you may know I am extremely superstitious when it comes to sports. I usually find a particular spot to stand in when we are doing well and stick with it. Or I may develop some ritual I repeat throughout the game. Well, last night I found spots for all the guys and made them sit (or stand) in that exact spot. It took me until halftime to find our spots. We even had offensive and defensive spots. I know, I know. I'm fairly out of control with this stuff, but I'm at least a little convinced I had a small part in the win. Anyway, after all rituals, the Dawgs picked up a 31-24 road win in the SEC, always a tall task.
Then I got up this morning, went to town to grab doughnuts for the kids and got the day off to a great start. Now it's a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and I am preparing to head to Tupelo for our soccer match. We are in a must-win position if we are to make the playoffs. We are somewhere in the 7th or 8th spot out of 12 and have to finish in the top half to make the playoffs.
Big week ahead with a ton to do: 3 flag football games, 2 kids' soccer games, my soccer practice, circuit court trial in Lee County on Wednesday and Thursday, and several other important deals. It's one of those weeks you just do your best.
