Since having a baby, I have a problem keeping track of “our” (Coach’s) football schedule. I must have asked him at least a dozen times about Spring practice…
When does it start?
How long does it last?
Each time, Coach looks at me bewildered… this is NOT my first year, so why can’t I remember this? It occurred to me in the middle of the night, while rocking Babycakes that when he said, “Friday”, he meant Friday. As in THIS Friday, as in TOMORROW!
One of the best things about Spring practice for me is that the coachs’ wives seem to come out of hibernation. We show up towards the end of a practice with a blanket, maybe a snack, and just visit. The next best thing, is seeing “our boys” & a close third is the smell of fresh cut grass.
Guess I better mark practice on my calendar — there’s always a chance that I might forget… again.
