Fatherhood has screwed up so many of my plans for life and I can deal with it for the most part BUT Sunday is football day! I remember a time when I would wake up, maybe get out of bed, maybe even shower and then spend the day watching football, uninterrupted. There were times when I would even meet my buddies at the local bar, drink a lot of beer, eat a ton of appetizers and watch multiple games on multiple televisions while some hot young waitress asked me if I needed a refill for my Sam Adams pitcher. What happened?
Where did my FOOTBALL SUNDAYS go?
Oh yeah, FAHTERHOOD happened! Now I must admit that Nicky is a huge football fan at the tender age of 6 but he does lose interest by half-time then becomes annoying. Jordy and Corey are just annoying and of course Carrie launches a preemptive strike on Saturday by saying “I am not spending the day watching football tomorrow”, without fail. Now I am not a fan that can recite stats or tell you the schedule for every team in the league but I just believe that Sunday is a day of football along with a big macaroni dinner! There is hope for me this Sunday! My wife will be taking the kids away for the weekend to attend her cousin’s baby’s christening while I stay home to “lay down a new kitchen floor”. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS that I will do everything I can to finish that floor before 12 noon on Sunday.
Wish me luck….
