I have become a football fan. No, not football, Peyton Manning and the Colts. I can watch a game with Jake but unless it's the Colts I don't really watch. I can't always tell what the ball is doing but in time perhaps I will speak with certainty. Probably not. ;)
As the Super Bowl pre-game show drug on I found myself anxious for the game to start. We had fans on both sides which always makes it fun. There were highs and lows but let's be honest, the highs were in the first half, lows in the second. At least for Colts fans. And then all hope was lost. I had a few emotional outbursts. I see that my husband is rubbing off on me. He has mood swings while he watches a game. It's very interesting to me. One minute he's picking up Jacob and they are excitedly shouting together and the next he is grumbling over conservative play. There is so much emotion. I appreciate his passion although I have not always understood it ... I am starting to.
I was saddened for the Colts fall last night but found comfort in the idea of August being only 7 months away. Preseason!

Totally know what you mean except I love to watch football and follow it pretty well. It's always entertaining to watch the guys and their mood swings during a game.

I was secretly cheering for the Saints. Josh would kill me if he knew that!
