Fun for Mama

Mama needs a break every once in awhile.  That is why I decided to join a soccer team just 6 weeks after Kylah was born.  Yes it was crazy, I could barely walk 2 miles to the park, much less run up and down the soccer field.  But none the less I was determined to play.  One of my friends from church was on a team and needed an other girl so…. I joined.   It has been a nice break from everyday life.  My favorite part is sitting in my friends car having a complete conversation that is not getting interrupted by three children begging for my attention.  The soccer part of things has been fun and frustrating.  The boys on my team tend to be ball hogs :( but when I have a chance to touch the ball, I love it.  I played terrible my first few games because I couldn't feel my legs after a few sprints up and down the field.  Try kicking a soccer ball when your legs feel like jello.  It is a pretty ugly sight.  But I have slowly got my legs in shape and have had a few assists and even a few shots on goal.  Thanks Dave for giving me this opportunity to play!!

The only game that I played early enough for the kids to come to.  They loved it!!

My friend Liz who convinced me to join.  It has been a blessing to play with her.

Soccer mama!!
