Tales of a Hockey Wife: Masters be damned...

Well today is the last day of The Masters....and I can no longer remain silent! All I want to do is scream!

If I didn't know better, I would think there is something fishy about The Masters golf tournament! The fact that Augusta is a MEN'S ONLY golf club only makes my argument that much stronger....

Do you think it is a coincidence that The Masters is held at the end of the regular hockey season?

Not to start a conspiracy theory...but it is about this time of year I am knee deep in boxes, hockey bags, and STRESS...while my husband sits watching golf on TV. To say I get a little peeved by this is an understatement.

I feel so guilty if I take an hour and watch an episode of Real Housewives of New York....and if I do sit and watch a television show...I am usually folding laundry. Could you imagine what would happen if I sat and watched a Real Housewives marathon for FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT?

I always pat myself on the back when it comes to our family planning, since both of my children were born right at the end of the regular hockey season. On the other hand, both of my children were also born during the week of The Masters.

This is our newborn daughter watching Phil Mickelson win his first green jacket.....You are welcome Phil, I am happy to have birthed your good luck charm!

Now as you can guess...my husband, being the ~~lover-of-golf~~ hands-on-dad that he is, was more than happy to get to know his new child by lying on the hospital bed and hold her close while he watched The Masters!

This is a picture of my husband watching The Masters while holding our newborn daughter. If you notice he is lying in my hospital bed! I was forced to sit in the chair while he ~~slept~~ held our daughter!

Now don't get me wrong, it has been a tough hockey season for my husband....read here. It is always tough when the team doesn't make the play-offs, and I am sure a little golf on the television helps take his mind off an early end to his hockey season.

I just get frustrated when this is his view...
