So October was a bit crazy. Wedding. Field Trips. Football. Farming. Jenna's 30th Birthday. Fall Break and Parent Teacher Conferences. Kind of nutso, right? One would like to try to get some extra sleep in that kind of schedule, right? We did the exact opposite. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat if it meant the same outcome.
For years, and years -- as long as I can remember - we've been Cubs fan.s Forever. My whole family. Well, minus Uncle T for a short phase of trying to be his own person and thinking the Braves were cool -- but he came around. So when the Cubs just kept winning, we just kept watching. And watching. And holding our breath. And sighing when we thought the curse was back. And liking "hype" videos. And praying. And hoping. And watching.
And then, after two straight weeks of 9pm first pitches, on November 2nd -- we watched all our dreams come true. And the kids were ALL IN. We made signs. We painted our faces.
We prayed. We cheered. We sang Go Cubs Go until we were hoarse. We gave them permission to stay up until it was all over. And they gave a valiant effort before falling asleep in the 5th inning. Daddy might have snoozed from the 7th to the 9th...........
And then, they called a rain delay. And we weren't sure what to do. How long would it last, do we continue to stay up? It's already 12:30am .... on a Wednesday. But we held strong, we stayed up, and after 4 1/2 hours of baseball on a rainy Wednesday night, we watched our Cubbies WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!! It was amazing. Grandma Mandy called me, sounding pretty choked up. Uncle Matt & Uncle Trent were texting me their amazement and excitement. We all thought we were dreaming. They had done it, and done it like world class champions should -- being great role models for kids everywhere. Where do you think our 4-H calf Rizzo got his name?
So Thursday morning was a bit rough, but this Momma was hopeful and prepared. And celebrate we did -- with powdered donuts and sparkling grape juice, because afterall -- CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!
What a feeling -- the song Go Cubs Go still gives me chills, and Bye Bye Curse of 45 might be a new Cubs Anthem! After all, we ain't scared of no Goat.....
