I Wanted To Go

So what's worse than not getting to go to an OU football game? 

How bout missing the "Hey, got some tickets to the game, thought you might want them.  You interested?" message!

I have no idea how it happened but I totally did not get that message. Until after the game. 

That was killer.

And when I found out I could have been at the game and just missed it...man, I was so disappointed it would have been better if I would have never even known.

And then, of course,  I had to acknowledge the offer and explain that I missed it.  And no matter what, that just makes you look lame.

The only way it could have been worse was if it was the Red River game.  That's actually my all-time favorite game to watch.  In fact, I snuck off to the game 7 days before M2 was born.  It wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done but I kinda just figured if something happened we could just find a hospital...I really wasn't too worried. 

But we got stuck on the public tram, or whatever they call it.  For one it was just a high volume day and then they kept breaking down and it would clog everything up.  We had driven to the game before but decided to follow the advice of our friends to "avoid traffic".  That worked out really well.

We were completely unprepared - I never imaged getting stuck and being trapped and at the complete mercy of the public transportation system.  It wouldn't have been so bad but we didn't eat before we left our hotel and didn't have anything to drink...and we were stuck for like 4 hours.

Until we got close enough and decided to just walk to the stadium.  But it was a lot further than I thought.  And as I'm walking I start having contractions.  Benny could tell something was wrong and he kept asking if I was okay.  I kept telling him I was fine.   But in my head I was actually thinking "Oh my god - this baby is gonna be born in Texas."

I held it together and managed to not give birth.  My boys, on the other hand, managed to not win that game.

I'm hoping this year is a better experience for both of us....
