Birthday Week is here!

Well, tomorrow I enter the era of the "early thirties," and Chris is soon to follow on Saturday. Until then, I consider myself "just thirty." I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't consider it old, but have noticed a few wrinkles popping up...
Alli turned 7 mos last week! Still no teeth yet. Her first word is officially "hey." She's definitely southern! We gave her a little "trim" on Sun. She looks so different, and all I did was trim the little hairs that get in her eyes! She's starting to get on her hands and knees and rock back an forth. She can go backwards, but hasn't figured out forwards. She's also pulling up, so she'll be mobile soon, one way or another! Lucky for us, the house is already childproofed.
Last week, Tommy Bowden bowed down as head football coach. Dabo Sweeney is now the interim. Don't know much about him, but do know it's a good change. I even bought a "yaba DABO doo" t-shirt! We'll see what he can do. Things are back to going in the right direction. Once we beat Carolina, all will be right with the world.

I can wear orange again!

I'm not sure many of the Clemson faithful were productive today...with new news constantly coming out about our changing coaching staff. First, Clemson let go of head coach Tommy Bowden or he "stepped down," (either way...hooray)! Now we are hearing our worst play caller in school history, the worst offensive coordinator ever, Rob Spence has been canned. I hate being happy that someone lost their job, but they've made enough money off of Clemson. Dabo Sweeney is now the interim head coach of Clemson, and his first order of business was to fire Spence. I like this guy already!
Usually, Fridays around here are "solid orange" days. After the Maryland loss, I just couldn't bring myself to wear the orange anymore. I know most would say I'm a fair weather fan, but it seemed that the whole team had given up. Why should I support that? I will however be sporting my orange this Friday and Saturday at the game. My expectations aren't high...afterall, they have less than a week to prepare, however, I 'm glad a change has been made.
On to more important things like Alli. We think/thought she's teething...but then again, we've thought that before. She's been waking up many times at night, had an upset tummy for over a week and in turn got a nasty diaper rash (we did find something for the diaper rash that works wonders...123 Paste from the Hubbard-Young Pharmacy. Dr. Young makes it himself). Unfortunately, she has no tooth to show for all of that! Now she has a cold! She probably got it from Chris or I. We were both under the weather last week. Once one of us gets something, we all get it. I'm not sure how that is...most who know me know I'm crazy with the Lysol and antibacterial wipes!! We're keeping our fingers crossed that a tooth is going to pop out any time now. It would be ashamed to go through all of that with nothing to show for it!
Tooth or no tooth, Alli and I will wear our orange this week!
