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?

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

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...

Visiting from FTLOB Comment Love! I can totally relate. When my oldest was born, just before it was time for me to push...her dad and my brother laid out a putting green in the L&D hallway and practiced their grip, stance, and putts. Can you say blazing mad momma??? Golf is highly over-rated! Have a blessed week!
I choose to look at it a different way..."Honey, I am going shopping for a new wardrobe with your credit cards" "Yeah, yeah, have fun...did you see that putt lip out?" "I plan on spending a few thousand dollars" "Whatever...poor, poor McIlroy, he is completely self-destructing" "I am having an affair with the pool boy" "Pool? No, this is golf"
Every time I read something like this I thank God for my husband's limited interest in sports. Then again, poker doesn't have a "season," which means he watches all year round...
Um - I would have hurled some golf balls at their heads!
Sorry to hear the hubby didn't make the playoffs. We would have been cheering for his team since (OBVIOUSLY) the Blues were no where close to making them and I need to cheer for a team that will beat the Blackhawks or the Red Wings (rivalries run deep). Sorry I can't sympathize about the Masters . . . we love Masters Sunday (and really all days leading up to it).

ahhh hahahahaha... Oye Vey! You seriously always crack me up.. because I can so relate to so many of the little things you say. And the fact that both of your kids were born during Masters week.. haha Did he time it that way? ;) J def saw that same position on the couch, with tv and beer in hand yesterday. My goodness...
If it makes you feel any better, my husband would not be any different. I think actually he would be telling me to hold out a little long, don't push, want to see this chip! haha. I can't lie though, I really enjoy watching the masters too. But then again we aren't packing up just yet. Don't think I would be so kind if that were the case :) Good luck with the packing up! I know ya'll are looking forward to a nice summer :)
Just found your blog and had to laugh so hard at your hubby in the hospital bed! I have a similar story! :) I am luckly I guess that my hubby only likes to play golf and not watch it on tv!
It sounds like your husband needs a golf intervention!
i feel like you just wrote about a glimpse into my life...ok, minus the part about the hubs being a pro hockey player. i have a couple pics of my hubs in MY hospital bed too, except he had the audacity to watch the movie "Taken". ever seen it? it's about a man whos daughter was kidnapped and then sold...yeah, my hubs thought it would be a good idea to watch it in the labor delivery floor right after i birthed a little girl. MEN!!! psh....
Many years the Masters have been on Easter Sunday which means a big family gathering at my grandparents' house and the men in the family sneaking off during dinner to watch the final rounds :)
Oh my gosh that would drive me crazy!!!! Golf is sooooo boring to watch on TV too, IMO. Oh yeah, and the comment from cakeologist is hysterica!!
GIrl!! THat is totally what my hubby does too...drives me NUTS!!! I'm sorry I've been awol...upcoming deployement (25 days and counting) has me all frazzled! It sucks!! Hopefully you aren't too busy cleaning your summer home..although the thought of a summer home sounds absolutely sublime; and I'm totally jealous!! Enjoy your hubby (make him do some cleaning!!) Miss you...sorry it's been so long.
LOL too funny!
