Who doesn’t love thoselazy mornings when there’s no school, the kids are watching a movie or taking a nap, and we actually get to enjoy our cup of coffee and call up a girlfriend to chat!

A few weeks ago, my family and I went to Philadelphia to watch the Eagles play the New York Giants. I am a huge sports fan and my dad has had season tickets to the Philadelphia Eagles for over 10 years, so football Sundays have always been a big deal in my family.

I recently asked my brother if he wanted to coach my four-year-old son’s basketball team. Since my brother John has played basketball all his life (starting from age five, through high school, into college and he still plays the occasional pickup game with friends), I thoughthe would jump at the opportunity to help young children learn a sport he loves while at the same time bonding with his nephew (and godson). So I was shocked at his quick, but honest, response, I dont think I have patience for the younger kids, but definitely when he’s older.

Imagine your little sister calls you and tells you she is dating a professional athlete. I don’t know about you, but my immediate reaction would be NO WAY!! Cheater! BAD BOY! Stay Away! Has she not watched VH1s “Basketball Wives”?!?!

It feels like Christmas this week for me, with football starting on Thursday night, and the rest of the teams (including my Eagles) playing Sunday. I cant wait for what I like to call Sunday Fundays to begin!ESPNs NFL Countdown song says it best, Everyday is Saturday night, but I cant wait until Sunday morning.
