Some Sad Boys on My Hands
15 October 2006
Hey Guys...
I got some sad boys on my hands! One of the things that I did not sign up for when I took this teaching job was an affinity for High School Football. I have all but two of the Senior Football players in my classes. I have come to know and love all of them.
I will never forget the first game I went to. I was going as a favor to my students and ended up screaming like a wild fan. Now, 8 weeks later, I refuse to miss game. It is almost like my kids are down there playing, cheering, training, organizing, and socializing. I refuse to miss an event.
Well, our school was tied for the number 2 spot in the state. WCA was 6 - 0 until Friday's game. We lost! The extremely hard part to handle is that we were the better football team. The game was tied until the second half of the fourth quarter. We made some stupid mistakes and it cost us the game.
This loss may mess with our chances to get to the district final game. I don't really care about the game. I am more concerned with the boys. They were all so sad. My heart was broken for them. I had all of these maternal instincts. I wanted to hug them and tell them that it was going to be ok. If I had, I may have earned myself a law suit and some funny looks! I do feel so badly for them. They are great kids and they care so much about this season.
So, the Westminster Crusaders are 6 and 1! No biggie. We will kill them on Friday night! I have let my boys know that they can run over their opponents and rip off their heads as long as they say please and thank you as they provide hankies for their broken and bleeding bodies! So, not only do I have to wow them with Macbeth next week, I have to soothe some broken hearts. Back to the books!

This photo of my family was taken in November 2005. I look at it and think, "oh my gosh, I'm the Mom! When did this happen?" Anyway, we have all grown like weeds! The kids are getting taller and Mommy and Daddy are just spreading!
