Odd Life at its best

Mallory came home this weekend to attend The Opera. The Opera. She took Maggie with her. Think about this for just a minute. Mallory and Maggie AT THE OPERA. By choice. No extra credit. No parental force. No cute boy with tickets. They went to sit for three hours listening to glorious music in Italian with each other. I stand in awe. Amazed. Part of me wants to say "Max out the credit cards for surely the end of the world is at hand". Part of me wants to gloat and hint at superior parenting. I'll just continue to be amazed and enjoy it.
I woke Mallory up this morning with The Eyes of Texas at full wall rattling volume. It's Game Day. Texas vs OU. Hot dogs and beer. Cool crisp fall weather. Football. Can the Horns reverse the curse? Will The God of All That is Football pull another crimson and cream miracle out of his magic cap? We shall see.
Maggie is taking the SAT this morning. How can she be old enough to take the SAT? What the heck happened to my littlest girl? This growing up stuff is just going way too fast. I need more options.
Party at Freds tonite. Wonder if he's recovered from our night out on the town Thursday? Hope so. Game time. Must go play.
