I tried not to worry or stress on this, but I wanted it to be a big success for Gregorys sake.
It was Pasta Night!!! AKA Every Thursday night one of the Senior Football players hosts Pasta Night at their house for all the Senior Football players.... Scary!!! I thought to myself... I asked how many should I expect? Oh about 17 Mom... Then that number turned to 26...Oh my word!!!So I had to get my Pasta on... We decided on Spaghetti. I would make the sauce the night before and let it marinate all day, then heated it up that afternoon. Not usually how I would do it but I had to improvise... I couldn't be the mom that didn't have enough, so I used the BIG BOY, yep I brought out our Crab Boil Pot... Of course this sounded like a great idea at the time, until it was to big and tooooo heavy for my stove burner... My stove managed ... What a trooper I thought. Now for the spaghetti and bread... At this time, guys are showing up and things are going smoothly... I'm thinking this is gonna turn out great, my water is fixin to boil and the bread is about to go into the oven, more guys are showing up, everyone is smilinggggggg and the oven and stove lights have gone offffffff!!!!!!! WTH--- Your kidding me right.... Johnie!!!! I scream, I need you to flip the switch thingy!!!! It was all just too much for my kitchen apparently... Plan B? I dunno?!? My good friend Rachel was here helping with all the madness that would surely ensue... Ellen, my other good friend whom lives two houses down, I call and say Help!!! I need your stove and oven... Ellen being the fabu person she is said bring yer crap on up...(not actually in those words, but I'm telling a story here...K...LOL) So here goes Rachel running up the street with my pot of half boiled water, yes not so smart on our part, but you didn't see these guys, we had to take our chances... I was following her with trays of bread... I'm sure we looked like a site running down the road...Thanks to Ellen and Rachel( props to my two chicka's for all your help) spaghetti and bread made it back to my house just in time before the guys figured out that I could swim ...uh oh !!!...Come and get it!!!! Over 20 guys gathered into my kitchen and piled their plates with the goods... They ate and got full....Success!!! Then the real madness began!!! Check out this wild bunch... We had a blast!!!

They were a fun group of guys, very respectful
and as they all left commented on how good the
food was and that I was the first mom to have
enough.... The next night was our third game of
the season, they had been 0-2 (zero wins, two
losses) They beat the mess out of the other team that night...Coincidence? I think not... ;-)
Thanks for a memorable night guys...
