WHERE IS YOUR MAN?




Now that the football season has officially kicked-off you ladies out there shouldn't have to ask that question.   Your man should be sitting in front of that flat screen TV watching the game.  College football had a couple games on tonight, a few more Friday night, and a full slate beginning Saturday September 1st at 9 in the morning until 9 at night.  Pro football kicks off this Wednesday September 5th with a season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and last season's NFL champs, the New York Giants. (Check back in for my preview of that game in a few days).

By my calculations you should be able to watch a football game every day of the week except Tuesday and Wednesday.  And it will be like that until Super Bowl in February.

What does this mean to the average household?  It means you ladies might as well throw that 'honey do' list out the window.   That flower garden that needs weeding won't get weeded.  The trash won't get taken out until the last minute.  The garage sale won't happen. The car won't get washed until it turns into a dust bowl.

As dad sits in front of the television for countless hours, only moving robot-like to the refrigerator to get a drink or more dip for the giant bag of potato chips sitting on the coffee table,  the kids will complain that dad has a 'football headache'  and maybe he needs to go to the hospital!

So there is something you can do.  You can accept the fact that your man won't be available for a few months and you can get interested in football and vegetate with him.  And while you are vegetating,  keep those rollers in your hair and that old robe on.  Maybe that will get some action out of him.   Maybe he will get up and do something!
