Not your typical Soccer Mom.......


But, I do live at the soccer fields for 2 months in the Spring & Fall each year.
Soccer all but consumes our day to day existence right now. Soccer is scheduled 5 days a week between my two sons. Add the freakish Kansas weather and rain, it really is more like 6 days....or "sit tight, we will let you know when we can get this game going/scheduled..."
I love soccer season.
I can be outside, and the noise from the other cheering parents isnt as loud as, let's say, a gym during a basketball game. Instant migrane with the flourescent lighting, perfumes and noise. Ack!
Another reason is I can sit in my own chair, and not the hard, cold as a meat freezer bleachers with no back support.
My chair has a cup holder for my drink. I can bring my coffee with me, or a bottle of water, and it is right at my finger tips! And I didnt have to pay $1.50 for it, or have to dump it out/leave it in the car to walk into a gym to watch my son's game.
I love soccer season.
I can work on turning my pasty white skin a shade of tan. If I am not careful, like 2 weeks ago, I may burn. Ooops! But, after the cold icy Winter, I kinda liked having a sunburn!
Where else, at the start of a 10:00am game, will you need to wear shorts and be bundled up in your parka and blankets because at 10, it is 40 degrees, and by the end of the games, it is 75-80 out?
Where else but the soccer fields can you see the most adorable dogs? Right next to the signs that says "No pets or dogs allowed on the soccer fields"
My favorite....
Watch how many goals are scored when a Apache or Chinook flies overhead. There is not a single goalie paying attention.
Funny, funny moments!!
This page is a sneak preview to my blog readers...
I created it with some special papers designed by a very special and talented lady.
I will be showing another layout and more in a few days!!
