Soccer season is upon me and I can't figure out if I'm excited about it or dreading it. My daughter, Ashleigh, loves playing soccer. She's played since Kindergarten (minus two years when she played softball) and I'm hoping it will continue on throughout high school. I always wanted to play a sport when I was younger but wasn't allowed. So now I'm living vicariously through her (although I'd rather she have taken up cheerleading lol). If I did dread it, it would be because I turn into a horrible soccer parent...when Ashleigh played a couple years ago...I almost got thrown out of a game. Now I realize how immature that was...but I'm afraid that that EVIL ANGELA is buried somewhere waiting to come out again at the first whistle blow. So...what to do? Also, I dread the long drive to and from places that aren't local. Of course, I know the nature of a challenge team, the only choice Ashleigh really has if she is to play soccer throughout middle school since her school doesn't have a soccer team. I'm only grateful that the high school does...and then maybe we'll stay closer to home then.
Anyways-Sunday is a tournament and it is our first 'game' as a team. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they play as I have noticed throughout the practices that they've improved a lot. But I'm not looking forward to three games, spaced out from 9:45 through 4pm. All day. Ugh! I'll try and post pictures, though, as soon as I can. Wish us luck!
