So it's no surprise that many of us currently find ourselves suffering from what I like to call, Football Withdrawal Syndrome or FWS.
Football Withdrawal Syndrome- a set of symptoms that occur in a football mama at the end of the season; usually in October or November. Symptoms completely dissolve at the start of the next season; usually in late July or early August.
If you have at least 5 of the 10 symptoms listed below, than you mama may be suffering from FWS too.
- Wearing your football spirit wear to basketball games (or whatever other sport your child is currently participating in).
- The inability to pack your cowbell away.
- Reminiscing through the 579 football photos on your iPhone... several times a day.
- Logging into TeamSnap, even though you know there is nothing new for you to view.
- Still buying your oranges and Gatorades in bulk.
- Filling your "team mom" board on Pinterest with ideas and inspiration for next season.
- Finding turf (turds) in your house and feeling like tearing up, instead of screaming.
- Eating dinner at 6pm like a normal family.
- Playing a team in your child's current sport that happens to be from the same area of a team that beat you during football season, and thinking how much you hate them.
- Counting down the months, days, hours, and seconds until next season.
Don't worry mamas, FWS doesn't last forever!
