Well, I don't know. We only ever had two parents show up consistently to our games--my mom and Megan's Dad. They stayed pretty quiet. No one cared about JV![]()
Just TWO Dad's...that's sad. Where were all the other Dad's?
You were one of the lucky ones then; you had parental support. I think EVERY parent attends our games and I'm sure there are a couple of girls who wish their Dad's would stay home!
Not a lot of criticism other than "HUSTLE" but son-in-law (as the Redstorm former coach of 75% of the team) can't help himself. Comment's like, "Nikki, off the edge of your RIGHT foot!"
...things like that. I DO like the fact that they "stand up" for their girls...all of them. A lot of elbowing and tripping...hard physical contact yesterday and refs did miss a lot of it. They only issued one yellow card and even I could see a lot of times they should have carded some of the girls. I totally enjoyed it; a tense game and I liked the fact that our girls weren't intimidated (they were "throwing a few elbows" by the end of the game too
) and that the parents and fans were standing up for them. Going to be a FUN 4 years ahead when our "baby girl" is out there playing too. She's "chomping at the bit" to get on that field with her fellow teammates again!

from the vet this morning on Goopy. I had to take him back for a checkup and his regular vet (my former brother-in-law) was on duty today. He looked at his chart and told me the note, "don't think he'll make it through the weekend" had been made.
got him through the infection.
Great news. Glad Goopy is doing better.



I'm SO glad; I'm blessed to have him around a little longer and his puppy dog sister is SO happy again. Piper's been moping around like she lost her last friend (and she almost DID 
So, no "party time" tonight, right? You have to save your celebration for TOMORROW night.
DH and I had to go to the car and turn the heater on between events.
Two marathons in two days you are crazy.
