Another Primetime Sunday Night Football means another early bed time to get up for a 01:20am kick off
0 – 16 at halftime with no offence and the defence on the field most of the game the Rams looked a very good football team
The second half began and in double quick time the score was 8 – 16 with a Pat Bryant TD and a 2 point conversion. They the chalked up a Nate Adkins TD and another 2 point conversion to tie the game before the defense held the Rams to a field goal after a Nix interception, to go behind again.
Then Mat Stafford throws the ball straight to Talanoa Hufanga runs in a pick six to the house but redeems himself by coming back with TD to regain the lead 26 – 23
The Broncos were not done driving the ball downhill field helped by a couple of LAR penalties for a TD but leave 42 seconds on the clock giving Stafford and the Rams offence a chance but with 2 seconds remaining and the play of the game Hufanga gets his second interception of the night to end the game.
By now it was 5am but this is why I get up to watch live, my heart was pounding as I slid into bed for a couple of hours sleep but it was tough to calm down after that!
Always struggle with this but Lincoln’s closet shelves are done ahead of time and ready to use. I am pretty happy with the utilisation of space and with addition of drawers on the left will mean no space is wasted.
Due to have surgery on Monday to repair one of the tents installed 7 years ago during the operation that nearly killed him I can imagine he was nervous as anyone would be. I had planned to go see him before it happened but on Thursday they contacted him to postpone it for a month.
It was good to see him but I could tell he was frustrated to prepare himself as he’d done only to be told as you were for another month then do it all again. They said that there was a more urgent case requiring the surgery which is fair enough but little consolation to me dad.
Quite the title for a post but I know Reagan as much as she would NEVER admit it she misses her mom when she isn’t here and I am all over watching The World at War especially with her. She loves history and this has been a go to for a while but we have not watched it for months now.
Afterwards we decided to watch the Bake off too which could not be more polar opposite to the first offering but it was just nice to spend the evening with Reagan!
After last night it was obvious when I checked on him that he was not well enough for school so I kept him home. At dinnertime I made him a sausage butty which he ate and miraculously he came back to life. Once he started eating again he was fine, it turns out he hadn’t eaten all of Wednesday because he was nervous about the the call backs for High School Musical and he does not cope well when starved of sustenance.
He need not have worried he nailed the second audition and got Ryan the lead roll he tried out for even though he had to wait until tomorrow to find out.
With food he was reanimated and back to his self by the time I finished work.
With Jamie in Bristol all week we were doing ok until Lincoln came home feeling ill. He went to bed straight after school and wasn’t interested in coming down for tea which is not like him.
Being Wednesday I went to the Legion to play pool but it was just a practice I knew Reagan wasn’t going to be any help as much as she wants be the woman of the house even when mom is home she does not do sickness so I had no help when he called saying he needed me to come home.
It only took 10 minutes to get home and make sure he was ok, he’d been sick but because he hadn’t eaten there wasn’t much there. He was on the couch so I sat with him until late but he was asleep when I went to bed.
“Autumn is my favourite time of the year” is something you will never hear me say, because it signifies the temperatures dropping the weather turning and days getting shorter. This year’s summer has been soo good it is especially galling to start closing the windows that have literally been open for months and close the door everytime you go through it because the house feels so cold.
Our bedroom, my office has been great during the hot weather taking advantage of the draft that blows through when the door is a jar but that again becomes the main of my working life.
If he’d been more excited he would have burst, Lincoln had his first Race Academy lesson today and it could not have been a better, the first instruction was “OK go out and give me as many hot laps as you can so I can assess your existing abilities”.
So basically we turned up he got the safety bit out of the way suited up and then went as fast he could for 15 minutes which made him smile wider than he had been since Thursday night.
P2 all night which frustrated him but as he kept telling me less than a second behind Will who has been doing outdoor parting for a while.
The sweetness was he was fast tracked to intermediate on his first night and his kart will be unrestricted from now on.
Where is the reward in winning big every week, was a comment made by Bo Nix after the week 2 win over a good Jacksonville Jaguars team tonight. After last weeks poor showing throughout the team and mistakes coming in all three facets of the game it was worrying watching the first half where the Broncos didn’t or couldn’t get a foot hold in the game. Trying to force plays that were not there seemed to be a very risky strategy and could very easily have taken the game out of sight if they had made a mistake, but we looked a different team in the second half and the tide finally turned our way with a Riley Moss interception and our first lead of the day as a result
It is true that if you won every single week there would be little reward as it became routine but to play a polar opposite game or even half just made the win a lot sweeter against a tem that beat us in the same fixture last season.
We were really good on both sides of the ball and special teams to chipped in with solid play throughout so we are 1-1 on the season and another tough home game on Sunday not only for the team but its Prime Time too so it will be early to bed early to rise again for me!
