Why I LOVE NFL Football, and Never watch the games.....

Ahhhhhhh NFL season is among us. That means fall is approaching. Cooler weather starts, we can pull out our pumpkin décor, pull down our boots from our closets, throw blankets are on the couch, and sip on our pumpkin spice lattes, and Sunday's with our husbands no longer exist until the NFL season is over.

Now my husband is not the rare breed that does not watch NFL football, and I am not the rare breed of women who love watching football. My husband not only watches his beloved Dallas Cowboy football games, but he is in two, yes TWO fantasy football teams (I'm talking serious stuff here, like they had their draft party in Las Vegas and bought their players thru auction $$$). This means he watches football ALL day long every game, red zone, Thursday night football, Sunday all day, and Monday night. To cheer on all his fantasy players with his friends. His text messages are going off during all the games. Why do I love that you ask?

For one, I am not going to stay at home and do my "wifely" duties while he sits on the couch all day. I have piles of laundry in the dryer, on top of the dryer that need to be folded and put away. I can vacuum, dust base boards, and dance around naked in the house if I wanted too but my husband would never appreciate that because he would never notice with his eyes glued to the television. Ha! Ok he might notice the last one :)

So I take this day to do whatever the heck I want. Go hiking with my girlfriends because their husbands are doing the same thing, go on long runs, go shopping because the husband just agreed to it not even knowing, because they pretty much agree to anything on Football Sunday just so they can get back to the game.

Ladies if this is also your case, don't complain about it! Take advantage of it!!! Go to the gym, go running, go hiking, go walking, go walk around the mall, this is your time. He's at home with the kids you have a whole day to yourself how often does that happen? Only about 17 NFL Sunday's if you have a NFL watching husband like mine! Which happens to be 64% of Americans.

And this is why I LOVE NFL football!!!!!
