Pre-Game

Friends, you know I am getting my vocal chops all loosened up. First soccer game of this spring season is THIS weekend. Super duper excited. Almost uncontainable since it includes the coaching debut for The Hub. Not new to coaching, but new to coaching CYA. Just in our first two weeks of practice I have had several chuckles as he banters with those lovable soccer moms. And friends, soccer dads. In fact, the dads can be worse that the moms. You wouldn't believe it, but it is so... First game Saturday. I've read up on the rules and will work hard not to earn my own Red Card. I'll work really, really hard. How embarrassing would that be? Coach's wife gets ejected from the field. The girls are looking good out there, especially considering their honorary member, Bball Girl. She goes to every practice and gives those girls quite the run for their money. Even though she's not on the team she plays like every practice is her job. I've got my video camera charged up, sneakers and sports chair ready to go! Hot cup of coffee, sunglasses and this girl is going to be side-line ready. 10:30am kickoff vs. Herndon. U12 girls here we go! Now, Oldest is also debuting his spring season opener this weekend. Have you met many 17 year olds? The precious angel doesn't even want his darling family to attend either of his basketball games this weekend. I wish as an adult we could retain that sense of knowing everything and needing no one. Something about reality washes that away from us. I can remember being that cool and then some.
