Time to get nervous, friends

Today is the first soccer game of the middle school team season and, of course, we are starting against one of the powerhouses in the county. They are traditionally always top in the state, at least their high school, and are bred to be little Pele's from birth. So here we sit, eaten by bugs and awaiting a slaughter. Gladiators vs Admirals. I know who I think sounds tougher. The game is starting and I can't type and cheer.

INTERMISSION

Well, friends. They did it. It was a beautiful thing to see. The mighty admirals fell as the Gladiators were determined to not go down without a fight. They all worked so well together. They talked to each other. Our goalie got switched out and sent to forward. She scored two goals fairly quickly. First game of the school year a success. I am proud to say S scored one herself. She looked like a pixie wearing a black halo. She has a special headgear she wears to absorb the shock if she gets hit in the head. Two concussions are two too many. Gots to protect that noggin.

On a completely different note, Monday hit the kids hard. G succumbed to the lull of the car quickly after being in school all day:



Yes, she is asleep. I'm about to be too. Night all.
