Football Day!

Today at church we had a congregational meeting so we got home about an hour later than normal. We went to Doug and Nancy's house (good friends of ours) and had dinner. We had football on the tv while we ate. Then I got super sleepy and almost fell asleep on their couch when we decided it was time to go. So we got home and football went on the tv, I took a really short nap, then continued to watch football. I have literally watched football all day long. I watched the Vikings kick the crap out of the Cardinals. I watched my fantasy players win me the championship trophy. Now, as I write, the Cowboys are ahead of the Giants.

I say all of this to lead into my next paragraph. I can't figure out where I got so lucky that Pam NEVER complains when I want to watch football. In our entire married life I cannot recall ever once hearing her complain about football. She doesn't just put up with me watching either. She will actually sit next to me on the couch during the game.

Pam reads these "mom" chat boards online every once in awhile. It is a good place to get advice and learn about events in the area. Anyway, she will share different posts with me. I've heard wives complain about how their husbands will just sit and watch TV all day long and how it drives them nuts. The thing is, if you think about it, the wives aren't all wrong. Sure, every once in awhile a guy should get to watch a game, but all day Sunday, all night Monday and Thursday, and all day Saturday is probably a little much. Pam really doesn't care though. Funny thing though, when Pam wants to watch Desperate Housewives in the middle of the Cowboys game, not only do I say sure, I actually WANT her to watch it. She deserves it. She even lets me check the score on commercials. Her show is only an hour. I'll catch the end of the game anyway.

So in conclusion, my wife just proves over and over that there is just none out there that can compare with her. Here's to my beautiful wife!!!!!

You do have a pretty good wife, but little do you know that she is sneakily eating all the Cheetos while you sleep on the couch.
