Unless you also like to watch the Super Bowl when the day rolls around, you may be dreading the day and longing for it all to be over with. But if your husband is going to be glued to the TV screen there is not much you can do to tear him away from it, and why should you? There is a lot you can do during this time that will help your husband enjoy the game, while also maintaining your own sanity. How can you stay occupied while your husband is watching the Super Bowl?
Prepare Some Tasty Snacks
If cooking is your passion, why not spend some time preparing some tasty snacks for your husband and his friends as they watch the Super Bowl? Finger foods such as sausage rolls, mini quiches, pizzas, an assortment of fresh and dried nuts and pretzels and other tempting delights will go down well and your husband will not be distracted as he gets up to cook. Instead, he will appreciate your thoughtfulness, even if he does not immediately let you know!
Enjoy a Girls’ Day Out
When was the last time you got together with a group of friends for a proper girls’ day out? If you can’t remember the last time you went out shopping or just for a trip to the local coffee shop, now is the time to get ready to enjoy your own day! Send out messages to your friends and see if they are free. Chances are, those who are also trying to dodge the Super Bowl are also looking forward to some alone time with their girlfriends.
Immerse Yourself in a Movie Marathon
Do you enjoy weepy movies, but hardly ever get a chance to watch them? Or are you interested in costume dramas? When nothing else sounds like fun and you do not feel like going out, immerse yourself in a movie marathon in another part of your home while your husband watches the Super Bowl.
If the Super Bowl is not your cup of tea and you would rather run and hide than sit down and watch it with your husband, find other ways to keep yourself occupied during the game. Cook up some tasty Super Bowl treats that your husband and his friends can enjoy while they are watching the game, or enjoy a girls day out. If you are staying in, a movie marathon can help you pass the time and still enjoy time to yourself.
