I got a not so nice comment on the previous entry to my blog from an anonymous person who was very upset about my Peyton Manning story. Go read it before you go any further if you want to really understand where I'm going with this.
Done?
OK. At first I was like, okay, an upset Colts fan. This person criticized me for my knowledge of football. I will be the first to admit I don't know everything there is to know about football. Nor do I feel the need to know it. As I read on I became very upset with the things she said. This person said I give real wives a bad name. For that I must respond.
I think I am a good wife to my husband! At least I take the time to actually learn about football. Whether I like football or not, my husband does, and I owe it to him to give it a chance. I am actually enjoying watching football this year with him. I don't know what every penalty is or even what all the numbers mean. I know the yellow flag means a penalty. I know you get so many tries to get it down the field and score. More importantly I recognize my husband loves football and I love him enough to show an interest in the game. I am not a girly-girl who is afraid to break a nail changing the remote during half time. I know nothing about fingernail polish except it goes on your nails. The only thing I know is I love my husband with all my heart and I want to share everything with him. He watches home improvement shows with me, I watch football with him. He listen to gospel music with me. I listen to the Pixies and Reckless Kelly. I wash clothes, he folds all the socks. I cook dinner, we wash and dry dishes together. Sometimes he even makes grilled cheese sandwiches for us to eat. I think it's a wonderful thing when someone you love is willing to try new things or do things that they don't entirely like just because it makes the other one happy. To my husband: I love you with all my heart and am willing to learn about your interests to help us be happy together.
As Bocephus and Bobby Boucher Mama would say, are you ready for some FOOSBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there.
Some people are just haters.
You seem to be a good wife to Sam.
You seem to have a great co-relationship.
Your attemp to share a pastime that Sam enjoys is comendable. With or without payton.
True dat!
And let me just say - I have never seen a better argument for the dis-allowment of anonymous comment posting to a blog than the one which caused this beautiful post. Can I recommend you turn that feature on? That way, the next time some mook wants to hate all over you for no apparent reason you'll know who they are so we can mock them mercilessly.
