Hi Veronica: Just got home from an amazing day of soccer with my S11. His team lost their first game yesterday - but then game storming back in the second game - and then had two intense games today. The first game was tied 0-0 going into the last ten minutes - then the other team scored 1 - and it seemed like it would end that way...when all of a sudden the kids just woke up and scored three goals in the last five minutes - it was unreal.
That win qualified them for the playoffs - and they had to play an undefeated team - and were down 1-0 after just five minutes into the game. In the second half my S11 scored a beautiful goal that arched right over the keepers head and nestled in the far corner of the goal...it was just amazing. After that goal, his team just controlled the game, and were finally able to put in another goal with just 12 minutes left in the game. (Two goals that my S11 had assists on were called back due to some funky off-sides calls). So...now they move onto the championship round next Saturday...which should just be amazing.
Right now my S11 and I are about to head out for sushi to celebrate his goal and their two victories...provided he ever gets out of the bath, that is...
So...I'm doing great. Feeling really calm and happy right now - I thought I might miss B a lot today...but instead I got a reminder from my S11 about how sometimes, when he would play in a big game, when it was over she would immediately start talking about herself...and just seem to resent the attention he was getting...it's funny what he's sharing with me these days...so very open...though I know that I have to take it with a grain of salt since her absence also means that he gets my undivided attention when his S2 isn't with us...and I know he enjoys that a lot too.
