I loathe FANTASY SPORTS....

My husband is mad at me..he says he's not, but he is...he's mad because he had to give up his spot in his annual fantasy football league because he's not working and I can't justify spending $50.00 on "fun stuff" right now when there are things we are sacrificing. Yes, we do get a pizza occassionally and yes I buy BA1 a toy here and there, but if we didn't incorporate stuff like that into our daily schedules we would go nuts...

My husband tells me (and would tell you) that fantasy football doesn't take up as much time as I make it out to, but it really does. He's constantly checking stats, changing players, trash talking on the boards.

The deal was he could do fantasy football if he had a job by the draft date..well the draft date is quickly approaching and nothing has come up. He took on a bouncing job at a bar a few nights a week so he can bring in extra cash and thought that he could use that money for his league. Normally that would make sense, but we have car insurance bill coming up in September, I haven't gotten a hair cut in seriously 5 months..and look like complete ass...BA1 needs some new clothes because he is growing out of all of his and doesn't have any fall clothes...and we have been scrimping on groceries and paying only the minimum on our credit card bills...doesn't it make more sense to contribute that money to our monthly budget, or am I being unreasonable by asking him to give up fantasy football?

For Better or Worse

Let me first start out by saying I love Mr. Awesome more than anything, but geez louise he has a few things that cause me to want to poke my eyeballs out….I’m sure he’s not the only hubby who does these things so I’m sure some can relate…

-he never finishes what he starts…example: tonight he cut the weeds from the side of the house and left them strewn all over the driveway, then went inside on the computer. I mean come on, how hard is it to sweep the weeds out to the street so the street sweeper can clean them up.

-he likes to cook, but not to clean up afterward. I will be the first to say the food he makes is amazing most of the time, but it’s not THAT amazing that I like to clean it up afterward!

-he is obsessed with fantasy sports---refer to worse than crack…

-he leaves dirty clothes everywhere

-he doesn’t ever do anything without me mentioning it then when I mention it..I’m nagging…grrrrr


I wouldn’t trade him for anything, but sheesh. Anyone know of a good husband training class? J hehe

Worse than Crack...

Mr. Awesome likes football….wait…he LOVES football. When football season is here he eats, sleeps and breathes football. He coaches a youth football league, which I love watching and helping with. He watches every game he possibly can, which I enjoy doing as well, that was until I was introduced to fantasy sports. Ugh..Mr. Awesome seriously might love fantasy sports more than he loves me.

I can’t enjoy watching a game anymore with him because it involves him commenting on every player and their stats, checking stats on the laptop, or calling one of his friends to comment on a player or points that were just scored.

I understand that this is one of his hobbies, but does it need to involve constant checking of scores, emails about trades, etc every waking moment? If I wasn’t there to remind him to eat, he may forget because he’s so wrapped up in “researching” fantasy related things on the internet.

I think he owes me this for putting up with this fantasy "stuff!" :)

A few things about me:

1-I’ve been married for 2 years to a man (Mr. Awesome) who thinks he’s awesome in every way, shape and form, luckily I do to. :)

2-I’m awesome by marriage. :)

3-There was so much awesome between the two of us we got together and created baby awesome (BA1) who was born in December 2008.

4-We live in the Midwest; Wisconsin to be exact.

5-I hate folding laundry more than anything in this world.

6-I love shopping and couponing. It has taken over my life recently.

7-I work in finance even though I have a degree in PR and Spanish.
