2-A- Days start next week. This year I'm not only a football widow, but a football single mother. I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I am very proud to be a coach's wife and I support him 100% in his chosen career. However, Brent's very first year of coaching was difficult. I had to learn the schedule, learn to keep my self occupied, get used to dinners alone, not seeing him for almost a week straight, but by year two it was easier. It still wasn't a blast, but I knew what to expect and had a new home to fill my time. Now we have a baby and I feel like it will be another year of learning how to handle it all. It's not just the idea of doing everything alone, but I also feel bad for Madison and Brent because they will go almost 4 months without spending much time together. This is one of the reasons I'm so grateful Brent was able to be home with her for almost two months even though I know it was not long enough for him.

Typically our summers are filled with "honey do's" for Brent- fix that, update this, but with him staying home with the baby this list has basically been placed on hold. But now with only a few weekends left with us both home the chores must be done! I have a list a mile long and it's time to start marking things off.
Now if we only had the fall weather to go along with all of the football meetings and practices life would be that much sweeter. It’s our 20th something day of temperatures over 100!
