If It Ain’t Broke …

If It Ain’t Broke …

She was an avid Buffalo Bills fan and I do mean avid.

To the finish, through good times and bad, continuously steadfast. Yep. That was Lorraine. Decked out every Sunday in her red, white and blue, ready to help her guys fight that pigskin battle, I witnessed what true loyalty meant at a fairly young age

and SURE !! come on over !! she’d exclaim, but you better mind you manners, Peeps, let her watch, let her think and most importantly, let her concentrate on that game.  She needs to CONCENTRATE, man, con cen trate !!

SHHHHHH

Something peculiar happened along the way though, and at the time, it completely puzzled me. You see, the older she aged and the tighter that score ? Yep. That mother of mine would make her way into the kitchen and hide. She’d HIDE. She just couldn’t bring herself to watch the outcome. As if her personally viewing those x’s and o’s would somehow mess with the whole, entire, cosmic balance of everything

& I’d sit there and think, really Mom !?! c’mon !

until,

until …

Ok. We alllllll know I’m crazy about those Chicago Bears, right ?!? RIGHT !! as loyal readers of this blog, you’ve witnessed my joy, my agony, my ups, my downs, my this, my that’s and the tumultuous emotions involved in this thing called football. So, umm, don’t tell anyone, but for the first three games of this brand new NFL season, I haven’t watched.

Nope.

I’ve listened. I’ve paced. I’ve finished a book. I’ve been within earshot to know what’s happening, but I have not given my full-on attention. And I’m pretty darn sure I’m onto something because those Chicago Bears have won each of those games !! And rather impressively, I might add !!

& yep !! You best believe I plan to continue this strategy throughout !!  I’m going to take one for the team cause if it ain’t broke, I most certainly am not going to fix it !!

!!! YaY !!!

Yeah. I know. I’m pretty positive I need some serious help but, the Chicago Bears are 3 – 0 !!!

Uh Huh !!

& you know who helped every, single step of the way ?? That’s right … ME and my I will not watch-watch, delicate balancing act. So no worries !! Chicago Bears !! Now that I’ve figured out the universal secret of it all, you best believe the rest of this season will be a BREEZE !!

Oh and errrrr, Mom ??

Many thanks for the powerful DNA.

BEARS BABY

Oh Yes I Can
