And we're off

Another soccer season begins! This picture is from Spring League but it'll be pretty similar - except the kids are a little bigger and the uniforms will be a different color!

I would actually love soccer season except for one thing!




It is ridiculously hot even at 9 am. We haul a shade canopy, we pack water, but it is still generally well over 100.

The little kids are red. We are all usually dripping sweat and not from physical exertion sympathy.

Some things just don't go together. Like AZ and outdoor sports!

But we try.

Heaven knows we try.

And we cheer.

And we come home and thank whatever genius invented A/C on bended and reverant knee.

Sigh.

LOL....I always dreaded the baseball weekends...and the baseball mom's! Never one for being in the 'right clique'! You need a small hand held fan!!!

Oh Jenny - I can sympathize! Football in Texas in August and most of September is a heat stroke waiting to happen! And that's just for this poor ol Momma sitting on the metal bleachers!
