Wednesday night confessions

Just want to confess my recent addiction to "Friday Night Lights." An old mini-series that seems to have lasted a whopping 3 seasons...the best 3 seasons of t.v. history in my humble opinion!

If you've never seen it...get it! Of course I'm downloading it instantly on my Netflix queue; I have no idea how you would get your hands on the past seasons otherwise.

But...if you do...it's got everything! High School drama (it's more fun to watch when it isn't you going through it), parenting teenagers (hey, we all need some lessons for that future endeavor), marriage counseling, peer pressure (we still deal with that as adults don't we? Well, I don't mean in the form of funneling beer or not but you get the picture). Jealousy issues, job security, personal goals vs. caring for your family as a mother...oh my goodness it could go on! And the best part I think is the underlying Christian message in it. I know some of you might laugh but truly it is there! Of course the actors who are Christians make some really stupid mistakes but they are teenagers for crying out loud...but the coach and his wife are really something to admire!

I'm going to grow my hair back out and wear it really big (the show takes place in Texas...enough said) and well... well I"m not going to start wearing low cut shirts but I might just dress to impress...and I'm going to start drawing out my words more and smacking my gum...and tell Nate to "now just you listen hon!" and smile really pretty while I have the force of Zeus behind my words!

Okay I'm cracking myself up...but I do think I'm going to start practicing plays with Eli in the backyard more...I'm convinced I would make a better football momma than a swim team momma! I remember some of those old cheers: Push 'em back, Push 'em back, Wayyyyyy back! (I never did know what that meant until watching this show) Another great reason to watch "Friday Night Lights"!
