The Bengals Break the 31 Year Curse!!!!

Weekdays : 
  • Monday - Clint left to Fresno, CA for the week with work.  I let the kids sleep with me given daddy was out of town.  I had a rough night of sleep not b/c of the kids but because of some anxiety sneaking in and I spent about 1.5 hours wide awake in the middle of the night.
  • Tuesday - I worked from home b/c the kids had their 2nd dose of COVID shots right after school/workday and then Maci was supposed to have her soccer camp at 630p but she didn't feel like going so we grabbed dinner, headed home and all got a good night sleep - YAY!  Especially after the night before :)
  • Wednesday - I worked from home again b/c Maci has soccer at 6p and it just makes dinner, drop off etc easier when I come from the house.  Connor and I hung out in the car during her 1 hour practice with me cleaning up email and Connor playing on my phone.
  • Thursday - I was back in the office and got to have some good catch up time with my buddy Jason.  After picking up the kids, we had Maci's soccer zoom team meeting at 6p.  She didn't want to pay attention and Connor kept interrupting so needless to say I was very much ready for bedtime that evening.
Thanks Grandma for the early birthday gift

Tena took Rosie on Thursday to play with Fred while I was at the office
Friday : 
  • I had a good mix of a few meetings, catch up with a coworker/friend Sara and thinking/work time.
  • We got about 3 inches of snow so it was a little slippery getting Maci to gymnastics.  I did some work on my computer and Connor played on my phone.
  • Afterward, the kids wanted Arbys for dinner but when we got there they were closed (this worker shortage is getting nuts!) so we settled for Wendys - not very good :(
  • We got home, ate, showered and then chilled watching some TV
  • Clint was supposed to be home around 5p but they missed their connecting flight so instead he got home around 10p and I was already SOUND ASLEEP - man it is a long week being solo with the kiddos!
Show Your Stripes for Cincy Pride
Saturday : 
  • Connor had his basketball in the morning - Clint said he is doing quite well and starts 3x3 next week.
  • Clint then rescheduled his massage for the next weekend so he could take over the parenting for a bit.
  • We were pretty lazy around the house and I spent most of the morning talking to Cincy family and friends about the HUGE game coming up!
  • I then napped on the couch to be fully ready for game time and while I napped the kids and Clint rode the snow mobile.
  • We then watched the Bengals game - I drank more beers than normal b/c my nerves were completely shot.  Of course it came down to final second plays with our defense intercepting the ball on a 4th and 9 play in the red zone to win by 7 - HOLY COW!  I fell to my knees and just started crying.  It has been SO damn long!  I am so happy for the team, the city and all the fans!
  • I was exhausted emotionally, physically, sore throat and a bit tipsy from the beer afterward so we watched some of the Buffalo game and then I crashed while Clint watched the rest of that blow out.
Game Ready!
Sunday : 
  • Lazy day yet again - love a good 3 day weekend!
  • Today we at least started to get stuff done around the house like groceries, laundry etc.
  • I listened to a ton of post game interviews and read several articles about the Bengals
  • Clint ran Maci to her 2p soccer practice and I helped her get math homework and her star student science project figured out for the upcoming week.
  • We are now thinking about dinner and waiting on grocery delivery.  The plan is to enjoy an evening on the couch with the KC and Steelers game.
Tomorrow is a holiday for our whole family so we are looking forward to having another cozy day at home and playing in the snow.  We hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a warm week ahead!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
