Football Season

My husband LOVES college football. From September to January, he eats, sleeps, and breaths Georgia football. Try as I might, I cannot develop a passion for football. Growing up, I had season tickets to Wake Forest Football and Basketball. For whatever reason, the basketball stuck. Football flopped.

I can't really complain to him, because I know that I am every bit as exasperating when basketball season rolls around. But, gosh, already I am sick of football. This morning he listed all the games on today and all I could do was sigh. Which he found very amusing. ;o) And while Georgia is the only team he really cares about, he thinks he has to watch every game that is on TV.

In some ways, I try to take advantage of it. I am able to do more stuff on my own. I can get more things done, because he's glued to the television. I can play games on the computer without feeling guilty. I can take a little nap in the afternoon without him bugging me. Today I am washing 6 ( yes, 6) loads of laundry and browsing online for our ideas for our bedroom. We are redecorating this winter...new floor, walls, furniture, etc.

But at the same time, I get kinda bored. I love autumn. I want to be able to get out and enjoy the outdoors without scheduling it around football games. ( Yes, I know, during the winter everything is planned around Wake Forest basketball games )

Well, I am off today, but work every night this week. Then we are leaving for the beach on Friday. I'm already doing some packing just so I don't have to worry about it later on. I've got a lot I need to get done tomorrow morning...we will see if I'm able to squeeze it all in. I need to take the dogs to the vet, get a hair cut, get a pedicure, get groceries for the entire week. Hmmmmm, that is not ALL going to fit in a 4 hour time frame tomorrow. Guess I will need to spread it out all week. I usually have about 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon between when I get up and the kids get off of the bus.
