I’m a football fanatic.
Have we discussed that in length here?
You already know we are die-hard Husker fans, but how about my other love?
Ah yes, I back the Pack. Through thick and thin. Brett Favre or no Brett Favre.
And Big J joins me in that love.
The other two – not so much. The hubby is a Colts fan (and I like them as well), and Little J, even at two years old, is convinced he likes the Bears (thanks a lot, Uncle Nick).
But whoever it is, I just love Saturdays and Sundays from September through January.
I will watch football all day long, no matter who is playing. I just love the game. And I love the community it forms between fans – game-watching parties, tailgating, even supporting your team on Facebook or Twitter! Such fun!
And yesterday, it got even better, because the Packers beat the Bears (sorry Little J!) to stay alive and move on to the Super Bowl!!!
Nothing like a big win by your team to take the edge off an ear infection!
I love football.
And GO PACK GO!
How do YOU feel about football? Blessing or curse? And if it’s a blessing, who’s your team?!
And more blessings from my week…
141. A chance encounter with a wonderful Christian healthcare worker not afraid to share her faith.
142. A hubby who cares enough to make me go to the doctor.
143. A hubby who gets the kids fed and napping while I go to the doctor.
144. A surprise girls’ night out planned by our husbands (who also watched the kids!).
145. The little guy crawling into bed with us early and going back to sleep!
146. Driving for Big J’s field trip to make their own pizzas!
147. Gold Bond Hand Sanitizer.
148. Skype.
149. The library.
150. A four-year-old with a hunger for books.

152. Staying warm at home while the snow falls and the temps drop.
153. A surprise coffee drop-off from a beautiful friend.
154. Better-Than-Anything Cake (or whatever you call it…)
155. A fantastic preschool teacher who will be sorely missed when she starts her maternity leave today.

157. Texting with my sis.
158. Antibiotics.

(What a random list this week!)
Hoping this week is filled with blessings for each of you lovely friends!
I'm Erin, a wife, boy mom x 3, writer, and runner in Nebraska! I'm excited to share all my favorites relating to faith, family, fashion, and fitness in this space! Enjoy! 
Yeah for the Packers!! Love your sweet list!
Well… we are Steelers fans. BUT….. our second fav team is the Packers so we feel no matter what happens we already won. 🙂
We are not die hard crazy fans like you though. We have a few T-shirts and the kids have black and gold stuff to wear. But not official stuff.
Yay! Another Packers fan!! I also have some love for the Broncos! Love this post!!
Thought of you yesterday… it’s you versus Chele in the BIG game! 😀 LOL
I do like football – more high school than anything. BUT we love the ‘skers, too! However, we don’t follow any pro teams. I’ll watch and we’ll go to Super Bowl parties but we’re not die hards.
I like this post! I like football – college, mainly. I never got into pro ball much. I used to LOVE the game, but then I discovered baseball. I now love baseball more than any other sport.
It was a shock to my system when I realized this. But when I realized that I would watch baseball every day and not get tired of it, but I’d get tired of football, I knew my loyalties had changed.
One loyalty will never change, though – Gig ‘Em, Aggies! 🙂
I LOVE football! And I am a Steelers fan! So we will see you in 2 weeks! But I live in Packer Country! So life will be interesting around these parts 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!!
ugh. i do love football. and that hurts a little bit right now…because i’m a bears fan. a bears fan who happens to have just moved to the northwoods of wisconsin. a bears fan who spent all week talking smack and now has to live with it! i think it might be time to focus my energies on hockey. {except that my blackhawks are not defending their title ery well} or baseball. not too long til spring training… {go cubbies!}
Well, girl, my love for the gridiron is pretty obvious, I imagine. And I’m essentially a college football girl. Love those BCS National Champion Auburn Tigers!!!!!! 🙂
I watch the occasional pro game … Titans especially. But, here in the south, it’s college football that reigns supreme.
Love me some football! I am not as die-hard a fan as my husband, but I do love to watch it. My favorite thing to do is to sit in my recliner with a good magazine, flipping pages as the game is on. When I want to watch, I watch, and when I don’t, I let him fill me in on what just happened or give me a heads up about a replay they’re about to show. It’s a good system. ; )
I’m not really a huge NFL fan (I love watching college games a lot more), but we do love the Packers around my house. And since DeAngelo Williams is a former Memphis Tiger, we root for the Panthers. And the Patriots since Steven Gostkowski is also a Memphis alum, we root for them, too. Even if Tom Brady is a “prettyboy”! 😀
We’re just glad the Jets are out. Man, that coach has a potty mouth!
Your guys are so, so cute! We aren’t much into pro football… but you know how we love us some Huskers! 😉 I loved your list. I also love raspberry lemonade. I hope you are feeling better!
We are not football fans, but I have littles that love books! Does that mean I can join the party!? I stopped over from Holy Experience… love the blog theme! Very catchy.
Sorry, but I’m going to have to cheer against your team come Super Bowl Sunday. See my latest post…http://growingagodlygirl.blogspot.com/2011/01/here-we-go.html
