The Best Football Season Ever: Sports Widows Can Have Their Own Fun!

The football season offers great opportunities for us women to rediscover ourselves, while keeping a distance from those who remain perpetually glued to the tube and their munchies week in and week out. So, dont go in to hibernation heres how you can take control of this season in some exciting and memorable ways.

Around this time of year I hear of women who feel abandoned. Yes, Im talking about that unique seasonal male bonding ritual, called NFL Sundays and Monday Night Football.

If you are one of those women who begin looking at the T.V. set and plasma screens with hatred and envy, or whose mind starts to numb at the very word football, start thanking your guy instead for the wonderful opportunity youve just been handed.

What is that, youre wondering? The chance to create your own Fall season ritual with your women friends. As the men become oblivious to you while tossing back a few beers, chowing down on their favorite junk foods and cheering on their chosen teams, take the ball in your own hands and organize your own celebration.

Remember, if youre out of the house, you dont have to deal with listening to the ongoing football commentary, requests for stuff from the kitchen or the assumption that you will be volunteered for clean up duty. If your partner is hopeless with organizing child care or cleaning up after the guys, write him a little love note, or say something that goes like this:

Dear Football-Fan Hubby,

I know how much you love the football season. Sundays and Monday nights are holy for you until the day after the Super Bowl. This year I want you to really enjoy yourself. Ive arranged a baby sitter/cleaner for the kids so that you can watch the games undistracted with your buddies. Im getting out of the house, as well, so you can really hang out with the guys. You wont even have to worry about the clean up.

Have a great time and know I love you,

If on the other hand, your partner shares duties with you, you might try writing or saying the following:

Dear Football Fan Hubby,

I know how much you love the football season. Sundays and Monday nights are holy for you until the day after the Super Bowl. This year I really want you to enjoy yourself. Thats why Ill plan on getting out of the house so you and your friends can have a good time alone. Im leaving the babysitter and clean up arrangements to you so they suit you best. Have a great time,

Love,

Thats Stage I. Now for the best part Stage II.

Gather together a group of your friends and create your own version of female bonding. While its always nice to go out to a restaurant or a movie, why not try something a little different?

Consider forming a womens club that meets every Sunday afternoon or Monday night during the football season. Have a different woman plan each weeks fun, according to her interests and specialties. That way, you may enjoy a spa night, a night tour of historical sites, famous homes, or great architecture in your area, a home crafts evening or one of decadent desserts. If one of you is a bookworm, ask each woman to come dressed as one of her favorite book characters and bring books to swap. The holidays are coming up brainstorm with your womens club on creative gifts for your family, while sipping on exotic wine punches and eating warm chestnuts. The possibilities are endless.

So, leave the couch potatoes in their most comfortable position this years football season will never be the same.
