The gap between football season and spring practice. What am I to do with all this time??!! Of course the Christmas season takes up a few weeks, but not near enough!
For me, being a football only wife and someone who desperately needs a schedule to function, this time of year can be a bit challenging. A few years ago I decided to make the best out of this 'down time' and do some things I'm not really able to do during our season.
Please feel free to comment and add your own ideas and suggestions! Remember we are team too:)
- Plan extra curricular outings with our Coach. Usually we go to the Zoo or Science Museum at least once as a family during this time.
- A day in the yard. This tends to lead into cleaning the garage, or finishing some project I started during football :/ ~ but we are all outside as a family with no other responsibilities.
- Camping (weather permitting). We did not go camping this off season, but we have in the past. It's a little easier here in Mississippi to do this:).
- Attend other sporting events at the school where your husband is a coach. This is a great opportunity to get to know other kids, wives, families and faculty. If you are like me and do not sit in the stands during football games, this is a good time to get out and fellowship with other people who support us on Fridays.
