Soccer Night: Game Six

[przed]

I was hoping to post some more about the trip and concert last night, but it was not to be. After coaching the game and then getting Ros to sleep, I laid down "just for a minute." Two and a half hours later, Don found me out cold.

But I did make it through the game, and it was another fun one. It was threatening rain, but never managed more than a few drops, and the kids all put in another good effort. We were back to playing the first team we played. They're quite strong and beat us the first time, but this time we held them to a 4 - 4 draw, which was awesome. And more of the kids than just our strongest player are scoring goals and getting in there, so that's fab.

The worst part is that it was a 7:30 game, and that's really a bit late for this age group. (Ros was already tired since she'd had a late night with her dad the night before, and when she tripped and fell on her face in practice she took some major calming down.) Fortunately we only have a late game a third of the time on the schedule.

You made it home at last! Too bad about the cancelled flight :( But I'm so glad to hear that Mark was worth it :D

I must say that I'm very impressed that you managed to make it through the soccer game after your loooong journey home.

I'm very much looking forward to read more about your trip, and the concert of course :)

You did great considering your trip home. You're made of stern stuff. :) Glad the game went well.

Naps nonwithstanding,I admire your stamina - heck of round trip and then sports coaching? *applauds* Sounds like the kids are enjoying it and improving which is great. And I'm guessing your whole family might enjoy some lie-in this weekend *g*
