so, it's back. (and i'm not talking about that ding-dang, stupid, hateful, disgusting, scary, jumping, hiding-in-the-dark-and-waiting-for-me-to-open-the-door-so-it-can-run-into-the-house, MOUSE!)
it's fantasy time, it's checking scores time, it's hearing talks (fights, negotiations) with troy or shad or bh (that's brian harr, for those of you non-fantasy people) or some other league that is 'all automated' but you still hear the conversations (and as of last year, we added the busch family to that list) about dropping this guy, trading that guy, smack talking his player or the other guy's player. (and it's all so serious!) it's not commisioner of one league anymore, it's commisioner of the other now. but it's "not that bad" cause it's all online now. it's not "that much responsibility" cause it's all online. (btw, my guy doesn't give me those quotes, he knows better... it's the others who feel the need to convince me to be ok with the fantasy.) it's a husband who will read this and think to go into another room to 'talk' but then leaves the kids with a wife to keep away from him or keep quiet or... (i'll probably get in trouble for that one. all this passive aggressive stuff is good for a marriage.)
it's endless (endless!) sundays (and now saturdays and mondays and thursdays!) with non-stop commentaries (btw, do those guys really get paid for that?) it's players who don't play for teams, but for the money. it's QB's who don't know when to quit. it's fans who ride band wagons, flip-flop on 'their team', and are just plain annoying.
it's free 3-piece chicken strips last monday at chick-fil-a if you wear a logo of a team. (that's pretty cool if your kids like chick-fil-a, but mine don't.) but you get my point? they market your 'team' for 'free food'!!
it's being in a dark place. it's lonely. it's painful. it's, it's, it's... football season again.
good-bye sweet husband. hello trash talking. yay.
see you in february.

You poor, poor thing... but this really made me laugh out loud!!
Wow--I wish we Mom's had a 6 month long season of something!! Something like: Book Leagues, Make-up Company Challenges, or Fantasy Celebrity Chef Competitions! You start it and I'll join, k? ;0) We gotta keep you busy now, girl!
That's really funny. We certainly don't see eye to eye on this one! :-) Hope you all are well!
well, whatever else it is, this is one damn fine piece of writing.
O Jamie you hit the nail on the head! This had me laughing out loud.. I feel your pain.. I feeeeel it!
