i am a fried soccer Mom

I have just spent the last two days watching my 12 year old son play goal at a 2 day tournament. It is very nerve wracking to be a goalie Mom....you feel every goal that gets by them. It is getting easier because he has gained some skill and confidence. Unfortunately it still pains him if more than a couple get by...even if they win. Which is precisely what his team did this weekend. They only let 2 goals in in 3 games and only had to play 3 games because they won their first 2 games. We were quite proud of them. We are also very red faced, armed and backed because in our excitement we forgot to apply the 30 SPF sunscreen.

We have enjoyed our break from "house" league during the July 4th break but it is back to soccer every night of the week until the end of July. I hate to wish the summer away but I am looking forward to August. Yes I love soccer and I love watching my boys play but I don't love all the running around.

Anyway, here's to the Irondequoit Challenge U15 Select Boys. Way to go!!
