AC13 and NR11 really liked the idea of having a huge Thrive (junior high youth group) Super Bowl party at OUR house. They begged. They pleaded.
And I gave them my honest answer. Maybe you are like me?
I said, "If the Giants are in the Super Bowl, then NO!" I know full well, that if I had 30+ junior highers and wonderful leaders in my house during the game, I'd not get to watch any of it. Unless I snuck out and locked myself in my bedroom!
I love Super Bowl parties. I just don't want to be a hostess to one when my FAVORITE team is playing in the game.
I mean, all my hours of watching and cheering and the ups and downs throughout the season lead to this one game. I felt I had already made a sacrifice a few weeks ago and KNEW I might have to miss the playoff game AND missed it with a smile on my face. And I was hostessing a very big, important party, although not in my house.
But I feel I did my time. And now my boys are going to abandon me and go somewhere else to watch the Super Bowl with their friends.
And I get to watch it in my quiet house. Probably too quiet. But DJ3 and MK4 are super "Go Giants" yellers.
My next task is to get us all in appropriate fan gear. They had the nerve to outgrow their 2008 Super Bowl attire!
We're coming up with ideas for a wager with my sister-in-law, the ONLY Patriots fan in the family. Please share your ideas!

Not the only Patriots fan. I'd never root for whiner like Eli Manning. Go Patriots!
