Life as a Coaches Wife

Ok - I have to share a story at my husband's expense. He's a good sport though. (no pun intended)

As some of you know, my husband teaches Chemistry and is the Varsity Assistant Football coach. Last night, I was awakened by my son letting out a moan followed by jibberish, while sleeping. Right afterward, my husband raises his head and looks at the door. "What?" I ask him. He ignores my question. Again I ask, "What?" He mumbles something I cannot distinguish, and rolls over. Getting a little irritated this time, I again and more emphatically ask, "What?" "This is a passing play and I was looking to see if the receivers are going out." I errupted into laughter, waking him a little more and getting him to chuckle too. "Honey, take a break from football for a few hrs and get some rest - K?"


Tonight is the first big game of the season, so I know it's only natural for him to be a little consumed right now. Of course he will continue to be consumed until the last game of the season. Such is the life as a coaches wife. Good thing I love football too! :)
