Don't Blink, Life Goes Faster Than You Think.

The energy you give off is the energy you receive. I am a firm believer in this. My son's football team lost to their rival over the weekend 46-6. The negative energy that has come off of the coach is unreal. He made the boys run extra laps at practice the past 2 days because of the loss. The coach yelled & screamed at the boys last night & droppe d the F bomb on them. This is not the pros coach, these are 11 year old boys. As a result of the coaches negative energy, my son has no desire to attend practice anymore. He doesn't start, he is second string. He took him & a few other kids off of special teams. The only time he plays is when they are kicking the crap out of the other team or when their is 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter & they are losing by double digits & no chance of catching up. Should we finish out the season if they make the playoffs or just end the year on Saturday for the last game? Or do we quit now? And another th...

So my son comes home with his playbook for football. Oh how cute. Yeah right, in the middle of the afternoon he said "Coach told us we have to know all the positions on each play." Say what? Your asking the wrong person to review this with you honey! It might as well been written in Hebrew. Oh the joys of being a football mom.

Are you ready for some football? We are around here. Football practice started Monday & is kicking into high gear. This is our first season for youth football. I'm sure that it will be very interesting. What a work out these boys get. This is exactly what he needs. He has so much energy & needs to release it on someone other than his sister.

Up at 7am. Hop into the shower. Made coffee. Can't start the mornings without it. Check email. Wake son up at 8 am. Put a flame under his butt to get ready for Stations of the Cross practice at 9 am. Drop him off. Come home. Get the Diva ready for CCD & soccer. Take Diva to CCD all dressed for soccer. Come home & pack every ones soccer equipment. Tired already. 10:50 am off to see CCD Stations of the Cross. Pull Diva from her CCD class so dad can take her for pictures. Watch son's performance. Pick up son after Stations & help him get dressed in the car for soccer. Walk down to field. Son's turn for pictures. Watch some of daughter's soccer game. Run to other side of field to watch son play. Run back to other side of field to catch daughter's game. Daughter's game over. Back to other side of field to watch the rest of son's game. Finally! Games over. Each child scored 2 goals. Daughter's team lost by 1. Son's team undefeated. Whew!! Time ...

Congratulations!

Go Steelers!

My daughter had her first soccer game yesterday for the fall season. And of course, mom was down for the count. (Yes, I was cursed with the "Crud". Thanks to some of kids at school. ) She had 3 goals! Call it Murphy's Law. Hubby said that she was on fire. Dad's nick name for our soccer star is the Pink Pyranha.
