The agony persists!!!

I must say I am truly touched by all the non footy supporters who text me 'good luck' during extra time on Friday night and also to those who rang me the following day to say 'congratulations.' I am of course referring to the most amazing excruciating win on Friday night and - drum roll please - COLLINGWOOD IS NOW IN THE PRELIMINARY FINAL!!!! Anyway, I really was touched to all of you out there who were genuinely happy for me about the Win. For only the second time ever the footy match went into extra time. Extra time??? The agony persists.... I must mention though that my heart was beating over 100 beats a minute during the last five minutes of normal game time and to save my heart from exploding, I switched off the television. Hard to believe I know, but I could not bear it any more. I did of course remind myself many many times that IT IS ONLY A GAME but the signal was clearly not being sent to the right part of the brain as usual. Hubby now refers to me as being WEAK and somebody WHO CANNOT HANDLE THE PRESSURE. Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think somebody who delivers a breach baby, ie. bum out first, without drugs is WEAK. I absolutely think NOT!!!!!! Back to footy ... I watched the replay after I received several messages and phone calls informing me that we won. This was approximately 11.45pm. I don't know but maybe there are a few closet Collingwood supporters. It is OK, you CAN COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. We are playing Geelong on Friday night. Of all the teams to play do we have to play GEELONG. They are by far the most talented amazing side with about one hundred superstars and we have to play them. So, the agony and heartache persist.

P.S. Must say a big congratulations to Mr and Mrs Maniac. Their daughter delivered a beautiful healthy baby girl - Charlotte Rose- their second grandchild. Hard to believe as they are both in their early 40's. Another Collingwood supporter!

P.S. 2: To Theo and Sam, as it is highly unlikely that the Pies will beat Geelong, how about we go out for champagne anyway.

P.S. 3: Why didn't I fly to WA for the game?

P.S. 4: I am sure some of you will be happy to know the footy season is just about over. No more footy talk. Actually there is trade week - ie. footy trade week - to stress about.

Bye, Go Pies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More facts

Finally I feel inspired to write again and I have donpronto to thank for that. Thank you very much to donpronto. Finally somebody understands my love of facts. I received an e mail from him full of very interesting facts. In particular two:

1. pigs orgasm for 30 minutes, and;
2. lions can mate up to 50 times a day.

Not really sure but I am pretty confident that a male sent the original e mail as the sender is completely fascinated by the above facts but I must admit that I did think they were humorous. The sender decided that in his next life he would like to be a pig!! Apparently its quality over quantity.

Mr E and Miss Love Me Do update

Have not written about the kids for a while. Little Miss was looked after by a friend on Saturday night while I was watching a movie. She had a shower while she was there and you just would not believe what she did .......... she has never ever done this at home..........drum roll please............. SHE POOED IN THE SHOWER. Mind you my friends who were looking after her did not mention a thing to me. It was only when I was tucking little one into bed that night that she told me. Of course I thought she was making it up but it was unfortunately true. And ...... my friend did not clean it up, her husband did!!!!!!! How many husbands would do that???? Not mine, that is for sure.

Mr E has started karate and looks so absolutely adorable in his karate outfit. He now wants to watch Bruce Lee movies. Speaking of adorable, the other night when I was saying goodnight to him, out of the blue, he said to me, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MUM. Must admit my heart melted. Oohhhhhhhhhh

Cannot sign off of course unless I write a little something about the footy. The Pies have made the top eight. Yeah yeah yeah. Very excited that we have made finals. Dont know if we will go further than this week but at least we made the finals. Trying not to think about the fact that it might be Nathan Buckley's last game, might shed a few tears!!!
