Wife is a bit thick headed, specially when it comes to her boys. The football team is being fed by the parents at the moment and I don't mind like last week, providing sixty sodas, 5-12 packs of soda, plus a bin of snacks is fine with me. This stuff can be bought ahead of schedule, I placed the sodas in our backup fridge to cool off and then took them to the school before the game with a couple bags of ice. I kind of liked this, I was helping the team and yet not getting trapped in the kitchen having to cook.
Well, guess what? Wife went to the parent's meeting on Monday and came home with homework for the game. I am to provide the team with 35 sausage wraps. I don't care about buying the sausages, that is not the problem. The problem is the logistics of cooking and then storing the sausages until after the game. I could very easily grill, or even heat on a skillet the sausages and even the tortillas, but then what? It is too long of a time to think I can prepare these at 4:00pm and they will still be warm and healthy at 10:00pm. Wife was suggesting that she will leave the game in the 4th quarter, go home and cook the sausages and get them to the school as the team is driving into the school to drop off the boys after the game. I was a bit pissed about this because I don't want to be distracted from the game for BS. I want to sit there and make sure I can see my son get up and not get hurt throughout the game. On a side note, there were so many kids hurt in the first game. I got off the car to go look for my ice chest on Monday and there were kids hobbling around on crutches, with various body parts wrapped up, the starting QB is out for four weeks with a concussion. Today (Wednesday night), one of the linemen was not dressed out but on the field as an aid, and we asked Baby A what was going on and our boy said that kid got a concussion during practice.
Anyways, I think we got lucky that Boy does not care for football, so since he will be home we asked him if he could help us out and he said yes. So now we just have to worry about buying three dozen good sausages and he will cook them and even individually wrap them if we buy the proper wraps to wrap each taco individually. This is actually a huge help, but we wouldn't be in this predicament if Wife hadn't volunteered us to provide food like that. She says she did it because there were so few parents at the meeting, only about 10, when there are about sixty kids on the team. She felt obligated to volunteer just because there was no one else to carry the burden.
