Last night was our third game of the season at North Oldham....which is pretty much out in the country! I usually don't eat on game days because I am so nervous. Well, I wasn't too nervous this game day so I decided to eat my normal meals. The drive out to North Oldham was very nice...and quiet! Love my Friday night date nights on the field under the big pretty lights. Once I arrived and started walking to my water station I noticed the boys we were about to play were pretty big. So, I decided to ask someone what class they were in. CAL is 2A. I found out they were a 4A team. Oh yeah, at this moment I started to get nauseous and wished I hadn't eaten all of the food I had all day! I stayed calm and thought we can handle this. We looked good the first half. We played hard and we were only down 2 points at half. 16 to 14 was what the scoreboard read. Not bad! Speaking of half time...one of the assistant trainers came and asked me if I wanted to help hand out peanut butter sandwiches to the players at half time. I was like what in the world are you talking about. Sure enough she showed me a Tupperware of beautifully sliced pb sandwiches. That was a first!
Anyways, as the game went on it only got worse and I felt so bad. I felt like I was the only one yelling and there wasn't anything I could do but hand out water and purple Gatorade. When the buzzer went off the final score was 44 to 14. My heart hurt for my hubby, the coaches and the players. I know how much time they put in every week and how hard they are practicing. The only thing I could think of is that it could be worse...at least we have won one game so far this season. As I went to console the Coach after the game I heard over the loud speakers that the cheerleaders were selling Krispy Kreme donuts. Oh yeahhhh, that definitely brought a little smile to my face I must admit. Anyways, I just told him what any coaches wife would say after a loss: "We will get 'em in two weeks (we have a bye week this week....time to make these boys run). Don't worry!". That is all you can say because at the end of the day we are talking just football. This water girl was so tired because the game didn't start until 8:30...because of the heat! They pushed the game back an hour because it was 100 degrees out. I know...crazy right!?! On the way out of the game I bought a dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts and made some spunky cheerleaders night. Little did she know she was going to make the Le4's morning! I thought this might be something to cheer up the Coach when he wakes up. So, of course I bought some. And they were so yummy! And Lukella enjoyed them too!
At breakfast I had to break the news to Luke that Dad's team lost. He said. "Awww MAN! Well, at least the CARDS won!". I like his positive attitude. When I had dinner with Lukella before the game Friday night Luke prayed for our pizza and this is what he prayed, "Jesus, please let Dad's football team do good and win. So they can get cookies. Let them listen to the coaches and instructions." Such a sweet boy! Ella was chowing down on her pizza and closing her eyes at the same time if yall were wondering about her ;)
The Coach is off to practice with the team this morning and I am off to paint with Lukella. Happy Saturday to all!
"The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say "no" - they may not be smart enough to say "yes". Starbucks quote #17
Our record : 1 -2 We can only get better!!!
Lots of Love,
The Le4s
