Craptacularly Craptastic

Tuesday was absolutely craptacular. I got major teenage 'tude from both of my teenagers, a pissed-off husband and a near emotional meltdown. Tears and all. It was super. Apparently, for those of you who don't know....I know nothing, all of my complaints are my own fault, I'm too hard on everyone, I may do a lot of things...but none of them are done well, etc, etc, etc. It was basically an I Suck At Life and I'm NOT up for Mother Of The Year day. Oh yeah, I'm 35 years old and still burst into tears if someone yells at me (except kids....I'm strangely immune to their fury). I feel absolutely craptastic.

Wednesday brought apologies from teenagers...because I WAS RIGHT, as usual. haha.

Wednesday was also Eric's first VARSITY football game. He's a sophomore. He's on the JV team. The Skyhawks had a pre-season scrimmage vs. Centennial (2x state champs) on Wednesday. They invited only 8 sophomores to go. Eric did really well. It was weird to see him looking small on the sidelines. He's usually right in the middle or one of the bigger guys. Put him next to seniors....and geesh! Mommy instincts take over. As far as being picked to play with varsity, I sure am glad that SOMEONE made him go to practice Tuesday, when the coach decided. That person must be a freakin' genius.......to know that it shows the coach that you really want to be there when you show up even when your shoulder got jammed the night before and, and, and.....

This is the jersey presentation after last week's Blue vs. Silver Scrimmage.

This is the scrimmage vs. Centennial. My boy is #44. Half-back and Middle Linebacker.

see that little guy pushing around the big Centennial dude....that's #44.

This is the "holy crap, I'm suppose to block those guys?" ready-stance.

In the middle of the big-boy tackle.

So, I know that these are all views coming from "mommy" and that Eric would die if he saw those captions. However, I was extremely worried that some big senior was gonna lay him out. When the game was over, there was no injuries and a HUGE smile on the kid. After that, next week's 1st season game will be nothing...it's just JV.

Next week I get to go hang out with Mary for her 3rd round of chemo. Yay! Hopefully this will be the 1/2 way point (only 6 rounds-depending on how much the tumor has shrunk). I'm so excited to spend time with her. Maybe I'll shave my head to match hers:)
