UGA vs. USC & A Fiasco


Wow!! What a game on Saturday?! It was definitely a nail biter, but I hated that the game was so late. It made for an extremely long day and a lazy day on Sunday. Grant woke up and went hunting on Saturday morning. I woke up and went on a walk with the dog and some neighbors. I showered and got ready to go tailgate. We went and tailgated from about noon to 6:30 PM or so. We then packed it all up and headed back to the house to watch the game. We ordered pizza and watched the game, but by the end, I was almost passed out, because I was so exhausted. It was hot, and we had taken Banks with us to tailgate. It was a great time though, and I really enjoyed hanging out with our friends.

We went to sleep right after the game, and we woke up the next morning and headed to church. After church, we ate lunch and then Grant went to my dad's house. He was planning on mowing his hunting club with my dad's tractor, but they ran into one problem after another. He got to my parents house and my dad was cutting the grass, so he had to wait about an hour until he was finished. They left and went to get the trailer, but the tire was low, so they filled it with air, then went to get the tractor, they got the tractor on the trailer and the tire was low again, so they took it and got it patched and then were headed down the interstate when the tire blew out. They made it onto the side of the road, then called places looking for a tire. Finally when no one had one, they drove an hour to Lawrenceville to my dad's friends shop to find a tire. They found tires, and they replaced them all but one. During the tire replacement, my dad's finger got smashed and tore the entire fingernail off his finger. By this time, it was after 9:00 PM. They got on the road, and they got to the hunting club and unloaded the tractor. Grant finally got home after Banks and I were already in bed a little after midnight.

It was a rough Sunday for Grant and my dad, but they finally got the tractor where it needed to be. Now, Grant is planning on spending some time mowing the hunting club this week since he was able to get it finished on Sunday. My Sunday was a little more relaxing...I wasn't feeling that great, and I was worn out, so I took a nap with Banks after church, read my book, cleaned up the house a little bit and just relaxed. It was a nice Sunday for me! :)

I hear ya on the late game! Gosh it killed me! Im pretty sure that tailgating isnt for the pregnant ladies either. All that standing wore me out, and then driving home to watch it on TV. What a long day!
