The pooch decided that I shouldn't be asleep at 3 this morning, so she jumped on the bed and tried to behead me.

Jax decided we shouldn't be asleep at that time this morning, either - however she utilized an attack of reveiwing the contents of her stomach right in the middle of MY bed.

OMG you poor thing! no puking here, just ANNOYING going on.

Let me elaborate. A brief thumbnail of some of the way they played us. Spread the def ends out a little wide, so in the event of a run, the gaps are very clear, allowing the LBs a clear shot at the back.. Double Chambers, and make the other guy McKnight, catch everything short (give a big cushion).

The wide ends also will tend to make Ricky run up the middle.

If you make Ricky go up the middle, Hold Chambers down, and make McKnight catch short outs, you beat Miami.

Plus, Miami will have a tough time getting Oaklands O off the field.

And that 8th guy, is Rod Woodson, so if you try to dump to a TE, or throw a bad Out route, it just may go the other way....

Nico-nazis must feel the burn constantly!

You got that right.

Sorry to hear you have to deal with them in the office on a daily basis - I at least generally have the distance of the internet for dealing with them!!!

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

That's OK, at least Condi understands.....

You two just go ahead and run to your little CONDI-kins!

We only had that one incident - butting stripping sheets and remaking the bed is not exactly what I prefer to be doing at 3am.

But I kept her home anyway - and I'm starting to climb the walss - The ground is so saturated that the rain is not going anywhere and there are 3 inches of water from my car all the way to the front door - so much for going to the store this afternoon.

i was cleaning vomit last week. but luckily xsboy for the first time in his life, made it to the bathroom, and just got the tile floor and rugs in there. so i was spared the bed stripping and bathing. but i am squeamish and always feel sick to my stomach after cleaning that crap.

[xsmommy]

am not. : P

[NeoCaveman]

Did we say you were, or just someone. Of course you just admitted it SWNTBRFD

[xsmommy]
