We've been watching the Olympics around here, and it never fails to put me into the patriotic spirit. To think how long these athletes train and to know that their dream could come true or be dashed in a split second.....it is very emotional. I especially have enjoyed watching beach volleyball and water polo, along with several swimming events.
But another season has begun today in our family........FOOTBALL SEASON! Today is the start of the 2008 high school football season. Many of you know that my husband, Matt, is the varsity head football coach at our community high school, so I have re-entered "football widowhood" for yet another football season. Seriously, our whole family loves football.....there is no place that I would rather be on Friday nights throughout the fall......well, crops would come in a close second, but I can always crop again when November hits and throughout the winter.
So, I decided to immerse myself in motherhood and wifehood today. I made homemade cinnamon pull-aparts for breakfast and then my husband's favorite meal--meatloaf and cheesy potatoes--to celebrate his first day of practice. Then he told me he has a coaches' meeting tonight so won't be home until late. Which, if you wonder, is totally par for the course for a football coach's wife in the months of August through November. So we will enjoy the meal without him and he will eat leftovers when he gets home late tonight.
