Let the Blood Presure Rise...

When I married Garrett I always thought he was really calm, cool and collected.  Well, he is unless it is watching his daughter play soccer.  I got a little bit of a taste last year when I had a tough time sitting by Garrett because of all the yelling and parent coaching from the sidelines. 

This year is a bit different.  Little Bug's league and team are not as advanced as our last year's team.  Just like everything in Georgia, totally laid back and it might kill Garrett at the soccer field.

Example 1

This is our 1st game a couple of weeks ago and as you can see we have no uniforms.  Every other team has uniforms but us.  There was something wrong at the factory and we were the only ones that did not get uniforms. Really?

Example 2

This is Gabe.  He is the brother of one of the players.  He sat in the middle of the field during the game for over five minutes before his mom came and got him.  That was after he almost got trampled.  He also wanted to play soccer with Garrett but Garrett declined since he was watching the game. Really!

Example 3

No refs.  The coaches are the refs.  This drives Garrett the most nuts because they don't always follow the rules.  They throw in the ball to themselves.  We do goal kicks instead of corner kicks because no one is paying attention to who it went out on.  And my favorite is that we have a player who loves to use their hands and that is okay.  Really?

The most important thing is that Little Bug is having fun.  She is the best player on the team so she gets to play a lot.  Hopefully we will be a little better at finding a team next year but it was so last minute this year that she almost did not get to play at all.

We will see how game three goes tonight. 

"Til the next adventure...
