Scott's dad had a heart attack about 5 weeks ago and went in for a triple bypass surgery and is home recovering. We were very worried about him and said lots of prayers on his behalf. We then went to Oregon for my birthday to see my bro and his beautiful family. We went and saw Iron man 2, enjoyed some great cooking by Stacey and ate my brother's famous cookies.
Once upon a time in a land not to far from here. There was a soccer game being played against the undefeated Wenatchee Fire and the SV Dragons. The Fire team was well known by many of their opponents as a very aggressive team, with great kicks, lots of pushing and awesome acting skills. The Fire team was looking for another win and scored the first goal of the game. But the Dragons knew they needed to be tough and fight back. A girl named Kenna from the Dragon team was dribbling the ball up the field and shot the ball at the goal with three players from the opposing team in her way. She was able to get the ball past the players and the goalie and scored for the Dragons to tie up the game. The game was so intense, especially with the great acting skills from the Fire. They fell down a lot on purpose to get the referee to call a penalty on the Dragons. Wow it worked every time. But some asked if that was really soccer, when you trip over your own feet and the other team gets the penalty? The Dragons were annoyed with all the acting skills and drama of the other team but just wanted to play soccer. At half time the Fire team's coach was complaining to the referee about all the pushing the Dragon were doing, when in reality it really came from the Fire team, with the Dragons defending themselves. The coach had the referee wrapped around her finger with many bad calls going against the Dragons the 2nd half and a few good calls for the Dragons against the Fire. The teams ended up in a tie and ruining the Fires perfect season. All the parents on the Dragon's team were thrilled for the Dragons and their hard work and were grateful the drama from the Fire team was over. Wait... but it wasn't. The two teams came face to face to congratulate the other team on the tie. Many of the girls on the Fire team wouldn't congratulate the Dragon team and especially Kenna from the Dragons because she had scored the goal that tied the game. Kenna was trying to give the Fire girls high fives. One girl moved her hand away and so Kenna kept going and then she saw the Fire's coach and gave her a high five, but as soon as she did the Fire's coach said, "hey number 7 don't slap me". Of course the nice polite girl Kenna is said sorry. But Kenna was thinking I only gave her a high five. So the Fire coach went over to Kenna's coaches and said she had a problem with their number 7. So Kenna's coach asked Kenna to come over and Kenna told all the coaches she didn't slap her but gave her a high five. The Fire coach was a little embarrassed but Kenna's coaches backed Kenna up and realized that the Fire coach was just upset her team tied. The Dragon team realized that the Fire team were not very good sports. Kenna went back to her parents and explained what happened and she was quite upset. Kenna was soon comforted by her coaches, players and family. She realized the Fire team had some issues and she wasn't in the wrong. And now Kenna and her Dragon team will live happily ever after knowing they played a great game and stopped the Fire from a perfect season.
Moral of the story.... I don't know you tell me.
*your baby gets sunburned from a soccer game that you thought would be cold but ended up beautiful with sunshine. (Poor baby with a red face for church , but at least he didn't get a Redneck).
*your oldest daughter gets accused of slapping the opponents soccer team coach.(story later)(didn't I teach my daughter not to slap people).
*for Mother's Day you get a moldy plant from your family.(Its the thought that counts-but it should turn out beautiful if I don't kill it first.)
*for Mother's Day dinner you get some of your husband's left over dinner from the night before.
*and you know your a bad mother when your baby decides on Mother's Day that he no longer needs to use you like a cow. I guess he is officially weaned.
The good thing is that I am not a redneck, oh wait maybe after this post I am a redneck.
Okay so I really don't think I am a bad mother, but I am glad I am a Mother and have a family that loves me and kids that love me no matter what. I am also grateful for the Mothers I have in my life. I am blessed!
