Superbowl Sunday Already??? Time Flies, but I am not having FUN!!!!!!

So, I go to my in laws for dinner last night and they ask me what I am doing on Sunday.  Hmmm, not sure, but why are they asking?  So they say, “You are in your own little world aren’t you?”  Hmm, guess so, because I didn’t know that the Superbowl was on this Sunday!  And of course, I have no idea who is playing anyway!  But I love to watch the commercials.  I swear it is the best part of the game!

I wonder if Budweiser is going to have the best ones again.  The job search sites also have good ones, and Pepsi and Coke are usually pretty good!  My favorite from last year was the dog and the horse training to be in the parade.  That commercial just rocked!  So, I guess I should thank them for letting me know that my favorite commercial time is coming up.  It is the ONLY time I don’t mind the commercials and stay in the room for them.  Actually I rarely watch TV.  I choose to DVR the shows that I am interested in and then FF through the commercials. 

Which makes me think that our universe is moving a little fast isn’t it?  It’s already time for the Superbowl, and I could have sworn the season had just started!  Time moves very fast these days.  I wonder if it is because there is sooooo much stuff for us to do as opposed to when I was a kid.  I remember having only 3 TV channels, 4 if you count PBS and never getting to watch anything anyway!   We were always playing outside and didn’t have to worry about some freak offering us candy or needing help finding a puppy!  What has the world turned into? 

Times are crazy these days.  I remember not having anything electronic, and now, my kids have MP3 players, laptops, video games, and are still begging for cell phones.  There are so many things for them to do now days and they still get “bored” with it all.  How can they be bored with all that stuff??????   I have to wonder do kids just get bored no matter what?   I think so.  I remember getting bored as a kid, but usually we were thrown outside.  Now days thanks to “crazies” you can’t even do that.  My parents had it easy!!!!!  They would tell you differently, but I swear they did.  They had less to worry about, less information hitting them daily, and more time to spend with their kids.  (not that they did mind you – but I get that now!!) 

So this Sunday, I am going to sit with the kids and watch the commercials with no laptop, cell phone, mp3 players, or video games.  Just like when I was a kid ~ watching football with my mom and dad and screaming at the TV whenever our team made a touchdown.

By the way, who is playing???
