My sweet S turned 12 today. I honestly can't believe it and do not know where the time has gone. It breaks my heart. But time marches on whether we want it to or not. So does "Soccer Saturday". S's birthday started off in the traditional way with breakfast in bed and the traditional bedhead picture. The siblings wanted her to open their presents early, so she started the day with a new compact umbrella and CD set on learning French. By the time she changed into her soccer uniform, she was prepared for rain or a chance meeting with Daft Punk or Gerard Depardieu...she can ask them for directions to the post office. Always handy. Luckily she needed none of those things for her soccer game. They won, but G's team did not. S reffed that game until her poor sister got brutalized by a psycho player who tried to break her back. They left quickly after that little stunt, both for G's well being and for the hub's legal well-being as he was going to brutalize someone. Next came showers and first aid and sad faces for the change in the tenor of the day. Then peanut butter birthday cake and presents came. G's back felt much better and who, well except for those with allergies and extreme dislike, who doesn't like peanut butter cake? The hub and the boy stayed home recuperating from earaches and back aches and the girls and I went to help with Community Meal. S helped deliver meals with her great aunt and uncle and G and I ran the dishwasher for those eating in house. I was very proud of my girls for wanting to help, especially on a birthday and on a significant injury day. Cool kids, the both of them. After we left from helping at church, G went home to eat with my brother and sister in law and S and the hub went to the Apple Store for the second time today. Always a story and always exciting. But that's a story for another day. The new 48 Hours is on for this new season and I am ready to watch. Sweet dreams, sweet S. We are so proud of the young woman you have become. But you can slow the growing down just a bit...
