So I had an emotional breakdown on Thursday. I can laugh about it now, but y’all. I try to give you a pretty basic idea of what it’s like to be a football wife. And I honestly do my very best to be as supportive as possible (and I think I do an okay job at that). But it is hard sometimes.
To be fair, we are nearing the end of the season. Which in general just means I am exhausted. You do something long enough and it starts to wear on you. I’m blaming that for the fact that I literally broke down in 16-year-old-boyfriend-just-dumped-you tears when J texted that he couldn’t make it home for dinner on Thursday night.
I’m used to not having him around. But I usually get one night. Thursdays used to be our jam, but this season they switched their schedule around a little bit. And since J is the Ops guy, all the other coaches get to go home to their lonely wives while he stays for another late night.
And sometimes I throw tantrums about that.
Apparently.
Just keeping it real, y’all.
He took me to Hardees when he got home that night so all is forgiven. I kid (not about the Hardees, I never kid about Hardees). But about the all is forgiven part. Because in reality there isn’t anything to forgive. This is our life. This is football. It didn’t matter though. He still apologized and we compromised to find a way to survive the remainder of the season. And we got to have a steak lunch together on Friday. So in the end it was all okay. And then we lost on Saturday. By 4 points. In the last 2 minutes of the game. Ah. The roller coaster that is This Football Life.
Okay! And now to switch gears. I’m hosting a 31 Bags catalog party this week. There are lots of great options for Christmas gifts, so be sure to take a look and share with your friends! SHOP THE PARTY HERE!
