Reagan and locked horns yet again this morning when she informed me that she did not want to go to school but I was adamant she had to and she dually went and stuck it out for a second day.

I am not saying it was easy, it was tough but I told her I was really proud of her for doing it. She felt a lot better when I got home so much so she wanted to take Billy for a walk but I think that was because she had some new jeans delivered and needed a reason to go out in them.

When Reagan said: “What should I do if I feel ill at school?” was basically saying I will be ill today nothing is more certain. It drives me insane when she does this because she has decided, I can ride horses and go to a sleep over at my mates but I need an extra day to get over it because I am tired. I really have no patience for just doing the good stuff and having no intentions of doing the rest because the good things tire you out! Reagan went to school but messaged me on the way to tell me that if she feels unwell she will tell the school and walk home which means she will be doing exactly that.

So I am just waiting for the call, it makes me feel on edge that I know she is just biding her time before she gives up. I feel really bad that I made her go but but if I let her stay off today then she will expaect to be allowed to stay at home all the time. The waiting and anticipation of getting a call really affected my mood although it never came, I did suffer a slump in what had been pretty easy mentally this past two and a half weeks.

She texted in reply to my text asking how she was feeling to say she was tired and going to bed for a lay down. I said I was proud of her for sticking it out and that rest and paracetamol would be best for now. I have to say I was surprised that she stuck it out but she also knew I was at work in Crewe and could not come and sort her out if she did want to come home.

Finally we beat the Raiders tonight after them owning us since 2018 a streak that at times was annoying especially because they have been a poor team throughout but still managed to stick it to the Broncos twice a season.

The 34 – 18 scoreline does not really tell the story as it was a far more dominant win than that but a garbage time touchdown when the game was already won made it look closer.

Going 10 – 0 down in very quick time it looked like the same old thing was going to happen but after that initial struggle the Broncos scored 34 unanswered points with the defense strangling Las Vegas they benched their quarterback to see if it would spark them into life. It didn’t!

Now 3 and 2 on a 3 game winning streak and another divisional game this weekend it looks a lot brighter and who knows win number 4 against the Chargers would get unbelievable!

Brewed coffee for one, and cleaned up the puke from a hungry cat to get me satdy started. Billy then Reagan to riding while merely walked Billy again. Shed for a while till Reagan wanted me again. Mozzas with Linco to pick up picky bits before Always for a Sadurdy ending.

Having a plan for tea was a master stroke enabling me to be able to relax early after completing another week at work which ended with me working hard on the phones so I was looking forward to hotdogs very little washing up and the sofa

Daddy I am going to my friends I need a lift there and back mum knows about it, it’s for church!

I unfortunately did not take this news very well at 5pm straight after finishing work now only having 2 hours to walk Billy go to the store and feed us before taking Reagan to someone’s house at 7.

She then added oh I am eating there so no need to cook

Lincoln and me ended up having hotdogs and watching Stand By Me

Talking to Jamie has become rare and the highlight of the days but if I’m cut short by others  needing her more my mood changes and I have an overwhelming feeling of jealousy.

She is something to everyone but everything to me….

A mate shouted “Are you lonely on your own?” as I walked Billy tonight he was being funny after seeing my Facebook posts and knowing Jamie was in America.I joked: “Yes I have to cook me own tea, but don’t tell her I said!”

Walking back home I really did feel lonely maybe because it had been posted out and probably because I was now thinking about what he said and associated my feeling with the word but that’s it I do miss just being with Jamie and sharing my life with her.

Jamie said tonight “It’s Sunday nights you struggle with, when I’m away” and thinking about it she couldn’t be more wrong. Sundays are great because I have football to occupy and take my mind away but sitting here tonight watching anything on YouTube to fill the time before going to bed on me, I think this is the time I really miss her most when we just love being together doing nothing but achieving everything we want to be

Yeh that’s what I miss the most not Sundays…its just not fun on me own!

After twatching the first 2 weeks of losing football I had accepted that it was going to be a long season with a rookie quarterback and that was OK. Last week beating a high scoring Tampa Bay holding them to just 7 points it was great to think we were not going to lose every game this season but tonight we beat the Jets 10 – 9 in the ugliest game you could ever imagine.

The thing is our defense is playing light out football and Bo Nix threw his first touchdown and no interceptions and Al of a sudden we are 2 and 2 with hope. If we don’t win another game it would be disappointing but it gives Bo a chance to develop without the pressure of not feeling a winning Sunday

The kids are fine if they’re fed the sun came out it was cold but I spent the day in me shed apart from horse riding and cooking
