It's going down tonight, friends. As a Bronco fan, I am so ready for tonight's game. Am trying to rally the troops in our house to get the Broncos energy/hype up high, but honestly the most exciting thing that happened in our house today (so far!) is that I came to eat lunch with my kindergartener in his cafeteria. This is kind of a big deal. It also occurred at 10:30 AM, which is amusing. Per the class rules, my son was allowed to pick 1 friend to eat with us and I watched as he approached a new friend and asked if he wanted to have lunch together. Guys, this kid hardly even responded. Just shook his head and my poor boy asked again, receiving a firmer rejection this time. Oh the daggers I sent into the back of that kid's head. Oh man. The next boy he asked practically fell out of his seat with excitement to eat with us, so I'd like to think things have evened out in the friend universe, but I shall not forget you, first kid. That image of my son's crestfallen face is imprinted on my memory. Here's hoping the first kid redeems himself since he is, after all, only 5 or 6 years old and hardly capable of making the kindest decisions...but do not scorn my kid in my presence. Ever. I will notice and remember with the force of a fierce motherly elephant brain.
And perhaps the Panthers will be filled with some ferocity tonight, never forgetting Super Bowl 50. Or maybe you need a little fantasy redemption and want to show your league your total domination with a magnificent Week 1 performance. If so, I'm here to help with a bevy of links below.
