CLEMSON VS. MARYLAND (9/27/08)

We played Maryland the other weekend and ended up losing, 20 to 17 - it was very disappointing because the Tigers had played so well the first half and it just seemed as if the team didn't even show up on the field the second half (or at least the coaches didn't)! I didn't get to watch any of the second half of the game because I spent it with the EMS people! :) I was sick already before we went to the game and had been taking some DAYQUIL without taking my blood pressure medicine for a while and obviously the combination didn't work well together - I started feeling very week and my mom took me up to the concession area just to get away and try and cool down and see if that helped but it didn't so we went and got them to check out my blood pressure and it was 160 something over 100 something - NOT GOOD!!! So....I laid down on a cot with a fan blowing on me the whole game and watched it on a TV while I was there. My mom stayed with me also .... we decided that it was kind of nice being able to just enjoy the game without being so hot....besides, my blood pressure may have risen even more with seeing the way they were playing in the game! :) Hopefully we'll have a win this Thursday night against Wake Forest!!! We'll see what happens!

Will also spent Sunday afternoon playing football with Daddy-Mo and had a blast!!! He loved this time and it was such a beautiful day outside for them to be able to have this time together! My mom and I enjoyed watching them play ball together! We're working on playing "CATCH" with Will these days - he's working so hard at this and he's a very determined young man! It's amazing to watch him learn every little thing that he learns every day. He's a lot like his mommy and daddy in the way that he learns everything - he observes and then "does" what he wants to do and he's such a quick learner! It's amazing!
