More Out of Monday with Madeline♥
I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) worst day of the week.
Monday is like…
…your alarm clock: You know you need it but can’t stand the annoyance it causes.
I am in a quandary this morning.
I wanted to come up with something curt and spiteful to say about the break of the dreaded Monday, but, guess what? I’ve got nothin’ but a smile on my face. No, I didn’t have a double “O”. Better. My city’s team is Super Bowl bound! Yes, the Indianapolis Colts are headed back to Miami! Sorry to all of you Jets fans out there. It was meant to be. BTW, I have a new football player crush…Austin Collie (Colts wide receiver). Needless to say, I’m looking forward to the eye candy….oh, uh, the Super Bowl. Is it bad that I’m old enough to be his mother?
I was in a football frenzy yesterday. I even watched the Saints/Vikings game. Now, I do have a few things to say about that one. Does anyone else think that there was hit ordered on Bret Favre? Good God, they must have pummeled him at least 20 times during that game! I’ve never seen him look so old and tired. Though I wasn’t routing for the Vikings to win, I really felt for the guy. How would you like to remember likely your last game as being the old man who threw away the Super Bowl? I could almost hear Taps playing as he walked off the field.
On a brighter note, Drew Brees was quite enjoyable to watch. Though he could use a good hair cut. The mullet thing doesn’t present in his favor…but who cares, right? Just keep your hat on and I’ll be happy.
Does anyone else have teenagers at home? I guess they aren’t used to me jumping up and down and screaming at the television. I got the look…you know the one. It markedly asks “Mom, are freakin’ crazy?” and “Do you want to go to the mental hospital?”
I calmly reply to the eye gesture, “We’re going to the Super Bowl; I can get excited.”
“You’re so annoying, Mom,” one of the offspring says in with the tone.
It sort of makes me want to embarrass them…on purpose. Well, anyway, try to enjoy your Monday as much as I am. Here’s a little clip of my boy, Collie, that I thought you’d like to see. It’s not from yesterday’s game, but can you say AMAZING?

Isn’t that the job of a mother with teens– to mortify them?
It seems that the most unsuspecting things do the job very well.
