Mr. Price's #1 Fan!!!!

My mom told me before that one of the biggest mistakes a person can make when it comes to me is giving me too much time to think....about anything.  My mind works so OVER analytically that I can find myself in a philosophical debate (albeit with myself) about something as trivial as which brand of syrup is best, and why.  Today I found myself with a little bit of time at--of all places--the dentist's office.  (Shout out to our dentist, Dr. Randolph Moore--super gentle, super good!)  The dentist's assistant, Kristy, had come in and done my evaluation and was making small talk.  She asked me how Peerless was doing, and I answered her just like I answer most people, "He's doing really good--getting better everyday and is totally convinced that he is ok to play football like yesterday."  Once she left I really started thinking--not so much on how my husband was doing--but about HOW my husband was doing.  I started thinking about how for the past twenty-something years he has lived, breathed, and trained for a life of football.  When he broke his leg in college he turned a near season ending injury into a four month injury and started the season opener.  His first training camp at Buffalo he twisted his knee, and again rebounded back and was ready for the season.  Every time he has been injured he bounced back and was ready to go.  His neck has been leaps and bounds different. Although he FEELS like he's 100%, there's still a chance that his body could sustain a horrible hit and his neck could snap just so thereby ending his football career and his life of WALKING.  

I realized that even when P PISSES ME OFF I am extremely proud of him.  I'm proud of how he has dealt with his situation and still has a positive outlook on life.  I just sat in the dentist's office and realized, yet again, that I truly am the President, cheerleading advisor, and CFO of the Peerless Price fan club.  I just wanted to take a chance and share that fact with you......  Have a wonderful evening.

We're BAAAAACK!






I know, I know:  I have totally fallen off of the blogosphere, but I'm back.  Kind of.  I decided that in 2009 I was going to blog at least once a week.  My dream is to get it done every night, but with Kai being Kai and Caeden showing her the way....yeah, you know.  At any rate, I won't spend the next four hours trying to detail what's been going on in Caeden and Kai's world since September.  No way.  Instead I'll give you a brief synopsis:

Peerless has been recovering and CHILLING!!!  He spends the majority of his days on the phone, working out, playing golf, or (when I'm lucky) taking me to lunch.  Seriously, he's doing so much better than I thought he would be having not played this past season.  I thought it would be a difficult transition, but it really hasn't been.  As with any change it was different, but not so unbearably so that one of us is standing in line at the court house trying to file the BAAAAD papers.  He also keeps himself busy coaching Caeden's basketball team.  Yes, Peerless is the coach of 11 8-9 year old girls.  They practice every Monday and Wednesday and play games on Saturday.  As of now we are 3-3 with two more games to go.  It's been a challenge, but one that he has welcomed and seemingly enjoyed.  That's him above in action and then the other shot is a picture of the silliness that it our team!!!

Caeden has been BUSY.  Mondays basketball, Tuesdays tutoring, Wednesdays basketball and dance, Thursdays she has a break, Fridays dance, Saturdays basketball games, and Sundays Church.  The poor child is so busy.  I ask her all the time if she's too busy, but she says no.  She made all A's and one B on her report card (note:  the B was in in Science, and the entire class got that grade!!!).  Basketball season will end soon, and she'll begin soccer, so her busy-ness will just continue.  Oh, and her schedule deeply influence our schedules, so we are equally as busy!! *sigh*.

Kai Baby...wow.  Now, she's been doing a bit, too.  She talks ALL. THE. TIME...and she is just growing up waaay too fast.  She's not interested in potty training, which is NUTS to me, because at 18 months her big sister was FULLY potty trained.  I keep telling myself that she's a different person than Caeden, but it's so hard.  I'm just saying:  She eats the same stuff I eat, and when it digests and I have to change that?  WOAH!  She's trying to decide whether sitting forward or backward on the toilet is more fun when she decides to get on there period.  She's just a mess.

Me?  I've still just been trying to be the Mommie in it all.  My girlfriend Quiana and I are still trudging forward with ganachecouture.com... God has blessed us, and we've stayed afloat during these hard economic times.  In the Spring we're going to carry tee-shirts as well as handbags and other accessories, so look out, world!!!  I promise I will do better about keeping you all updated in the future.  Until next time......
