Music to My Ears

I am sad to say that USC lost last night. I must admit that whenever this football teams plays I truly hope and pray that they win. I may not sit down and watch the game, but I keep an eye on the score. When things don't look very good I get a pit in my stomach...not because I whole heartedly care if they win or lose, but it seems that the outcome of the game greatly affects the mood of my dear husband.

Well, last night it happened....we lost. Bry watched the game with his brothers so I just waited for the doom that would arise when he got home. Around 9:30 he came muddling in - I had the usual rant and raves about how the game was. I got a little synopsis of what went on. Bry was upset that USC did not play well....but then, it happened....I heard five wonderful words that I have yearned to hear come from my avid USC fan of a husband's lips....

"but.......It is just a game!"

And just like that the ranting and raving was done. Usually, especially when we lose, he is quite upset about it for the whole night, but not last night. He just let it go. Oh I was so excited. Yay for putting things in perspective!! I love you Bry!!!!

Just a game where USC was out played on both sides of the ball...shame. So I promise that we will get together soon but right now our house is a construction zone and I am in big trouble when Jessica gets home tonight. Wish me luck.

Oh good, i thought only my husband did that! It's good to know he's not the only one that gets so upset about a stupid game.
