Soccer Mom

 I have been wanting to blog and I just remembered my password!! I have waited to be the Soccer mom....time is NOW!  Turns out my daughters teamed named the "Super Blue Vegetables" is um.... not the most soccer playing team.  Holding hands together in the goal yelling...check...falling on the ground with no ball check...scoring for the other team ...check.
 I know I know they are just kids, let them play and love and blah blah blah....this mom came to bring it.  Yes this kids are just 5 years of age but the team that just Killed us!  A.'s  first game was like a bad Disney movie.  It was a cold, cold  afternoon, we arrived ( with only one team practice due to snow) on the field.  We weren't sure which field, but we brought it! The other team."Red" were running drills as their coach( who was dressed in Adidas) called out plays. I am not knocking our coach is an awesome mom in jeans.  Our kids played to the beat of their own drum...they ran around a field and get caught in the net never mind that... Game on..So "Red" scored 5 goals within minutes.  I am a little loud yelling defense, mark up...stop bunching up.  Then one break A came and ask what's "defense"..oops.  This soccer mom forgot to teach the basics...which I don't think would of helped in the end.  This team pulled two players as well as stop at the half way field. They CRUSHED us.  They were scoring from half field and we had four players!  In the end I just knew next year I am going to coach.I love soccer! It was great fun no matter what the score was.  I loved every minute of watching A's face light up even if she was scoring for the other team! "Mommy I scored", yes hunny you did, for Red but you did!
