Are You Ready For Some Football

    Did you just yell that in your head. If you’re a football fan you did. Years ago it was so fun to hear it on every football commercial, or at the start of every game. I still yell it in my head at the start of football games.
     We are big football fans in my family and we all have our teams. My sister, dad and I are Patriot fans, my Mom is a Bills fan, and my niece is a Giants fan. It can get pretty wild in my house when our teams play each other. Like today.
      The Patriots played The Bills and we were ready. The food was set ( the best part about watching football in my opinion ), we were comfy and waiting for a good game.
       The game started out good, nobody was getting a touchdown, and we were excited for a close and exciting game, with us all yelling at the tv. Then The Bills started trailing The Patriots and it wasn’t a close game anymore. The only excitement for the game was when the players were getting flags for roughing each other and the refs up. The only yelling from us was calling the players idiots for the stupid things they did. Both teams!
       I get bored easily with games where the score is so far apart. Granted The Patriots won, but it could have been a little more exciting. We’ll have to see how they do on Christmas Eve. When they meet again

Things I’ve actually said out loud

   I know all parents have said variations of these things to their kids. But I bet none of you would expect to say it to your dogs, yes I did say dogs. I actually had two police officers sitting in their parked car laughing as I’m scolding my dogs.
   Now you may think I’m a crazy cat lady, er sorry, dog lady, but you have to understand. When you have two dogs who are cute but obnoxious at times you’ll understand what I go through. Here is a typical day in my house.
   We are out for a walk and here are some of the things that I never thought I’d actually say out loud. “Don’t pee on your sister.” “ Now your peeing on her face.” “Teagan you can move so that your brother doesn’t pee on you, you don’t have to stand there and let him.”  “Don’t roll on that, I don’t know what it is and it smells.” “Now you smell.” “We are going this way, young lady.” “Don’t put the brakes on.” “I’m not going that way.” I don’t care if your boyfriend is over there, we are going home.” “Don’t kick the dirt, you’re getting it in your sister’s/brother’s face.” “I don’t want to go over there and smell the fire hydrant for the fiftyth time, I’m cold, don’t give me that look young lady, we are going inside now.”
   After reading this I’m noticing that it kind of sounds like I’m raising toddlers and teenagers. The only difference. I don’t have to pay for their college education.

Stalker

    Have you ever had a stalker? I don’t mean the psycho, scary kind where they are texting you every second and when you don’t respond they get vicious. Been there, don’t ever want to experience that again! I’m talking about the kind that stare at you and you don’t understand what they could possibly want. The kind that when you wake up in the middle of the night there are eyes at the edge of the bed staring at you, AND THEY WON’T STOP STARING.
    Yes this might sound creepy, but you have to understand, they have no words, so they’re hoping that you’ll understand them when they look at you and look at you. They’ll be hopeful that you’ll understand them or they’ll just be stalkerish, just because they love you.
    I have that kind of stalker. You’ll see soon enough what I am talking about. At least my stalker is kinda cute!

                                                           The Murphy Girls


  My sister and I have been effectionately known as "The Murphy Girls"  or a simular version "The girls", throughout our childhood. So I thought it was a great name for a blog. There have been other nicknames, some hurtful from childhood bullies and other effectionate names that I didn't think would make a good name for a blog. So The Murphy Girls it is.
   I know you must be thinking that there is only one Murphy Girl writing this blog, but even though one is writing doesn't mean there won't be stories about the two of us or the rest or my crazy but very kind and lovable family. I'm even going to throw in my crazy dogs, recipes that I love, plus movies, and book reviews whether I like them or not. And we can't forget about my kind and faithful friends, they'll be stories there too, with their permission of course.
   Now you might be thinking "didn't she blog before and give up?" I had personal reasons on why I stopped blogging and maybe one day I'll write about that. Now is not that day. But there will be a plethora of things to write about, animals, food, books,and people just to name a few. The one thing you won't ever see is a political post. I'm not here to judge, hurt anyone's feelings or start any arguments. I'm just here to have fun and hopefully entertain you.
   Now I must go and in my family we've been using this phrase that you're going to see at the end of my blogs, because that's the sense of humor we have. So I leave you with "Is it dead?"
