Soccer Night: Game Two, But Not Really

[przed]

For the second week in a row, we got rain on game night. But this time it was bucketing down, and it was cold. Still, I got on with the warm up and practice, and the kids were holding up okay. But then as game time was drawing near the thunder started up and the ref blessedly called the game.

Not before all of us and all our stuff was drenched, though. And one little girl had a meltdown because her mum was waiting the rain out in her car, and we had to convince her we wouldn't leave her until her mum came and got her. And then we had to take down the nets and return them to the club office.

I'm hoping that this isn't going to be the pattern for the season. Though if it must rain on game night, if it could manage not to be freaking cold I'd appreciate it.

In continuing non-soccer news, Ros didn't get to sing Wooden Boat for the school talent show, but she is going to do a song and dance number with her best friend. Rehearsal is tomorrow, and the show is Thursday, during the school festival. Should be adorable.

Oh poor little girl worrying she'd be left alone :( I hope she can feel more confident and safe soon!

Sad about Wooden Boat, but great that she's going to be in it all the same! Being in school productions are some of the best memories ever *g*

I felt so bad for our player, but the snacks and her mum came soon enough and all was well.

Very sad about Wooden Boat, (Ros had only signed up to audition with her friend, not by herself) but I'm looking forward to seeing what song and dance routine they've come up with.

Well, darn. Rain and no singing. But I hope her duet goes well!

The rain was no fun at all, but I think the duet will be a blast. And probably not a bad thing. Ros is occasionally wicked shy, so performing with someone else is probably the way for her to go.

I'm sorry the game got called but it sounds like it would have been miserable to play.

Good luck to Ros in the talent show, not that she needs luck of course.

Me and my fellow coach were doing cheers for thunder from the sidelines. We were very happy when the game was called.

She'll take the luck, I'm sure. *g*

Glad you're back home safe! But boo for the rain - if it's any comfort: it's been raining here basically all through the last three weeks...

Shame Ros doesn't get to sing Wooden Boat but song and dance number sounds grand! Good luck to her and I hope you all have fun on Thursday! You'll take pictures, right??

Home, safe, but exhausted. (I owe you a proper email. Today!) Here's hoping the rain there stops before I arrive.

The school festival is always fun, so it'll be a grand time for sure. And yes, I'm going to bring the good camera and take pictures. Stay tuned.

Hope you had a great weekend.

Oh noes for the rain, although of course it wouldn't really be footie without it bucketing down with rain (or wait, is that actually cricket... *stares out of the window gloomily*)
Hope the talent show goes well!

We managed to go all last season without rain during a game. I suspect we're going to pay for that this year.

Ros had her rehearsal today, and one of the other mom's who saw it said she did fab. I'm just hoping she doesn't perform before I can get away from work.

From the con to a very wet soccer night. I'm always amazed at how much you fit into your days ;)

No Wooden Boat, that's a shame. But singing and dancing with her best friend will perhaps be even more fun for Ross. Enjoy the show tomorrow!

The key is just not stopping. Because if I stopped, I'd never move again. ;-)

The singing and dancing should be fun. One of the other moms saw the rehearsal and said they were a lot of fun.
