Weekend Heart Attacks

ZoMyGosh! 

I have anxiety problems when it comes to watching sports. I realized this when I was the managaer for my high school varsity basketball team. If it was a close game, during the last 5 minutes or so, I'd start freaking out. My heart would race, I would start shaking, I felt like I couldn't breathe, etc. This problem very much continues when it comes to Bronco games. And last night was probably the worst.

What in the world kind of game was that? Just so I don't forget...here's what led to the Broncos very lucky 39-38 victory over the chargers.

1. A "fumble" by the Chargers, picked up by the Broncos, and later ran for a touchdown. The play was challenged...everyone watching on TV could see that it was not a fumble -- the play would be overruled. But...the reviewing system wasn't working, so, they couldn't review the play, so Denver kept the ball...and did I mention that Denver took it back for a  touchdown?

2. The Broncos dropped a 31-17 lead at half-time until the score was 38-31 Chargers. With 30 seconds or so left, the Broncos were 2 yards from the goal line...Cutler drops back, goes to throw the ball, and it flies out of his hand before he can even move his arm forward in the throwing motion. The Chargers recover. The play is sent under review and the Broncos get the ball back at the 10. Why? Because the ref blew his whistle when the ball flew out ending the play. Why? Nobody knows for sure. 

3. Cutler throws a touchdown to Eddie Royal. If they kick a field goal, the game will be tied and go into overtime. Wooo!

4. They go for two. The same EXACT play to  Royal results in putting Denver up 39-38 with 20 seconds on the clock. 

5. The Chargers get the ball back. Two or three VERY scary plays later, the game is over. 

Duing steps 2-5 my heart had literally stopped. I think I died for that short period of time with only adrenaline keeping me going. Had the Broncos not stumbled upon some act of fate, I might have had more than just a heart attack....

Okay, on to Saturday night and my new found hatred for bees...

Every night after dinner, we take the dogs outside, and Hunter and we play outside for a bit.  The dogs went #2, so I was picking it up, and Chase said something about a bee on Jetta, who was standing near me. Well, I lifted my head and in the process got poop all over my hand! Well it doesn’t end there… As soon as Chase said that, I could feel my head STINGING with the worst pain…I ran towards Chase saying “theres one in my hair, there’s one in my hair” and Chase says “it looks fine.” Well, my head is KILLING me, so I yell to Chase to get Hunter inside, and I ran inside into our bathroom. I stuck my hand under the water and bent my head down and I could see a bee in my hair! So I was trying to get it out and then there was another one! And then I could feel one on my neck! By that time, Chase brought Hunter inside and had set him down and was back outside trying to get the dogs…and I now have 3 bees flying around, so I grab Hunter, and still like half screaming/half sobbing I ran out the front. Hunter’s crying because I’m crying and I’m still convinced I have bees on me and am freaking out! I can literally feel them ALL over, but I couldn’t find them…Finally, Chase got the dogs in, and he comes out front and tells me he doesn’t see any, and to take the dogs and Hunter upstairs and get in the shower and he’ll kill the ones inside. So I run upstairs, hop in the shower, with Hunter (which we’ve never done before) and Hunter’s freaking out because he’s used to baths and not water spraying everywhere, and I am freaking out because I’m still convinced I have bees all over me even though I’m naked and I can see that I don’t.

 Luckily, LUCKILY, LUCKILY, Hunter never got stung. Jetta ended up with probably 20 stings, and Miley maybe 5 or so.

 Ugh. So Chase killed 4 or 5 that made it into the house, got Hunter out of the shower and put him to bed, and finally I got out too. I can feel 3 stings on my head and one on my neck. It’s terrible. They don’t hurt now, but for a few hours Saturday night, I was in some major pain. 

So now,I hate bees.
