(My 3 Boo's)daughter and brothers........

So last night was the Homecoming game. It was also where the parents walked the Homecoming Queen attendants out on the football field to be introduced. First we participated in The Homecoming Game Parade.
We took the roof and windows out of my oldest sons Jeep, decorated it with posters.......and a half dozen balloons. It looked pretty cool.
The Cheerleaders walked behind our vehicle because thats who daughter was nominated by, though she was also principals choice. She dislikes the principal so she went with the Cheerleaders nomination. :O)
The whole night was a total blast though I can't adequately express it on here.............I've never hugged so many kids, or have been told "I love you, Ms. G. by so many people in a day.
The girl who dresses as the Mascot.......and I'm not sure if she's learning disabled or neglected in some way.....or if anything.......but to me she's precious.......last week I told daughter to please tell "precious" that I think she's the ebst Mascot we've ever had...........so lastnight at the Homecoming game I was stalked by our Mascot. Mascot stood in my direct vision the whole game..........until....she undressed the last quarter and came to sit by me. She hugged me and told me she loved me.........and she meant it..........it was soooo sweet, and made her even more endearing to me...........................
So we won the game 45-0......or close to that.............AND THEN.......our squad was taped by The Ellen Degeneress Show doing "The Ellen Dance." Each of them holding a Ellen picture mask in front of their faces.......the girls had a blast.............the school will be notified by mail when it will air.......( I won't tell you how when some guy walked by me at the game who was wearing a dinosaur necklace about the size of a medium handbag filled with diamond like stones......and he was dressed "cool" for lack of a better word.....and I knew I liked his personality just by the way he looked and carried his self......so when he walked by me I said to him "I really like your necklace" and he said to me "thank you, and will you come join us after the game to do the Ellen dance........he even came to get me whe they were getting ready to start taping........so I went on the track with the squad, then felt silly and backed out. He pulled me back in.......so I snuck out again, successfully. lol. He was a nice guy. I just know these things)
The whole night was fun..................the school did a great job at preparing for the night.........exhubby was nice.......and when we are brought together by these types of events.....I'm almost always reminded that he's a good person despite his flaws..........(as we all have)............but he always seems a little sad too me.....unless I'm just projecting....I probably am.........he was gracious though.....and I'm greatful for that...... he brought our daughter a bouquet of flowers.......made her smile.She loves him, but she wanted my boyfriend to accompany me and her father in walking her across the field. He's been more a part of her life over the past 5 years. Boyfriend was in the stands cheering for her but thought it best for me and ex to walk with her.
It stung her feelings a bit........but she was fine.........
Anyway, at the risk of sound repetative........it was a wonderful night. Wouldn't have changed a thing!
