Warrior Football :(

None for me this week. The boy child(ren) are in California on a "Football Field Trip". They are playing some team from Monte Vista High School...WTF? From what I remember fieldtrips when I was in school were to actually learn things. Not play football and go to Six Flags...

Warrior Football

The boy childs first football game was last Friday night. Unfortunately my boys got slaughtered, but they were playing a team that had 22 returning seniors. (We have 10.) They seemed in OK spirits after the game though, which was nice. I spent the first half down on the sidelines taking pictures. (Nobody saw that coming, right?) I try really hard when I am down there to be quiet, take my pictures and stay out of everyones way. I don't talk to the players, especially B.

I broke some of my rules however because it's always hard to lose a game in that fashion and secondly the officiating left something to be desired. My first mistake was to tell B that I wanted him to hit someone so hard they came out of their shoes. He told me to shut the fuck up. (He apologized later, don't worry.) I said nothing more to him and he still wouldn't have been in trouble if he hadn't apologized. I know better than to talk to the boys in the heat of battle. Then my language got colorful as usual. I try to keep it under my breath, but we all know that's not gonna happen. What did happen was that someone told me that a team rule for dropping the F-bomb was 10 push-ups. Great. We haven't even started the second quarter and I owed the team 130 fucking, shit, 140 push-ups. During the second quarter one of the coaches heard me say fuck. Dammit, caught and once again making my son look bad. I apologized to the coach, told him I knew the rule and would pay up as required. I said I was fairly confident that I would fail before the 140/150 mark, but I would do my best. This guy looked me right in the eye, told me that I was too beautiful to have to do push-ups for 40 stinky boys and that I didn't have to do any at all. He is now my favorite coach :)
