Blah, Uggg, Cough, Sneeze, Wheeze, Gasp! All the sounds of sickness. Being a coach's wife is not easy. It is even more difficult when sickness hits you or your family. Usually once you have the internal drive to make every game or go to work sick, you still are his number one fan. If you are a Mom, you DON'T GET SICK! I am not being sarcastic. When your the mom you can't get sick. You still have practices, classes, after school activities, church, and work. Kids still need to be fed, laundry done, baths given, homework done, and dinner cooked. It is not an easy job to be a mom, but it is the best job.
In other words what happens when one of your mini fans goes down. I have had to battle this for about the whole month of October. My daughter and son are adjusting to a new climate and area. The allergies, climate, and school spread sickness have just come at them one week after the other. When these situations arise, your Coach will understand. Your family comes first and making them well will pay off. It gives both of you peace of mind.
You can still show that you care. Asking about practice, and how things are going are just a few little ways to show him you care. I also pay close attention to the Friday night local news. I want to always make sure that I am still involved. I also try and make treats or sweets for the Coaching staff. Kind of sending a piece of my support to the team even though I won't physically be there to cheer them on. Good Luck flu Season is upon us and so is District and Playoffs! Bundle Up, stay warm, and safe for fall football season just can't be beat!
Good Luck in District all you HS football Coach's Wives!
