Russell Wilson, the Quarterback for my husband’s (and mine by marriage) beloved Seattle Seahawks, has gotten pretty banged up in the first few games of this season. As you can see in the photo above, everyone seems to be gunning for him.
This week the Seahawks have a bye, so they won’t be playing. I commented to my husband that the break will give Russell a chance to rest and get healthy. I then realized and voiced that it will be a good respite for me too. My weekends are made or broken by their wins or loses and quite frankly, I’m feeling a little beat up myself!
I don’t know who came up with the bye week concept when creating the NFL’s schedule but I thank you, whoever you are. Russell and I are going to enjoy this time off and be back strong for Week 6. Or at least I will. Russell’s got his hands full with the vicious conure headed his way.
