FIrst and foremost... Soccer Mom's ROCK!
Secondly... I will never ever ever ever EVER be a Soccer Mom. Why? Here are just a few lessons I learned this weekend.
1. WIND is a Soccer Family nightmare. Cold. Dirt in eyes. Cheering can't be heard. Wind burned skin is worse than sun burned skin. Wind is not a good thing.
2. FOOD is a dangerous thing. Teenage Soccer boys who are hot, tired, hungry... they give no warning when food is produced in thier presence. Set the food out and RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. SUN is a good soccer thing. SUNSCREEN is a better Soccer thing. Enough said. (refence #1)
4. Ref's are allowed to be opinionated but parents, coaches and spectators are not. Sit down, shut up, watch the game and if your boy gets creamed, bite your lip. No sympathies. No comments.
5. BLUE AND YELLOW ROCKS! Our boys Soccer team colors.
6. Soccer Mom's are supposed to be alarm clocks, nurses, cheerleaders, cooks, taxi drivers, laundrymat workers, amongst other things. Just like real mom's... but x 14 or so Soccer boys.
7. Sleep is rare for a Soccer weekend. Totally worn out, totally hyped up, doesn't work. Make lots n lots of coffee for parents and bring lots and lots and LOTS of bottled water for Soccer boys.
8. Soccer boys play better when they get MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (a good thing? guess so!)
9. Soccer boys shower A LOT and use A LOT of towels. Good thing this house has 3 bathrooms?
10. I love having the crew all here. Dirty towels, my laundry room looking like a locker room, empty fridge, all night giggles, cheering, sunburns, all of it... SOCCER WEEKEND ROCKED!
(Did I mention our team took 1st Place in thier age division for the whole tournement!!?? GO RAPIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
