Uh oh...Coach forgot to kiss his Water Girl!

OK, I did everything exactly the way I did for the first game. Same jeans, flip flops, hair in pony tail with visor. I had a pretty good feeling we were gonna win this game! Couldn't find a sitter for Lukella because it was a Saturday game and most of them had activities. Oh gosh! Thank goodness my parents were in town to help out at the game. And thank goodness it was a day game! It was another beautiful day for some football. Perfect! As I got Lukella settled in the stands with Honey and Poppy I started to walk towards my Gatorade station. One of the Coach's yelled "Happy Birthday Momma!". Thanks! I guess a Mom over heard and was like, "Ohhh I didn't know it was your birthday! Happy Birthday! How old are you? 35? 36? Sorry I work with so many different aged girls I have no idea". ME: "Um, NO! I am 31! How old are you again? 60?". Ok, I didn't really say that but...SERIOUSLY? OMGosh. I was thinking about how happy I was that I bought some wrinkle cream....and that it had better work...ASAP!
As the game was about to start the head trainer told me Happy Birthday and asked how old I was. I told her 31. She said "No way!". I was thinking great, she must think I'm 40. She said she thought I was around 27. OK OK that was NICE! I will be sure to get her extra cookies next time I bake...but it is not looking good for that other lady and cookies ;)

Once the game started I was thinking how Coach never came and gave me a good luck kiss! OH NOOO! Not good! You all know how superstitious I am. Since game 1 Coach has come to give me a kiss right before kick off....but not this game. He must have forgotten! Shoot! I didn't think it was that big of a deal but I guess it was. Oh yeah, and the cheerleaders weren't at the game so I was not only the W.G. but also the cheerleader! Goodness gracious my throat was killing me after the game. Even Coach told me he heard me yell "COME ONNN D!". I was so happy he could hear my loud and beautiful voice.

Back to the game. We started off pretty good. Lukella were having fun playing with Honey and Poppy and running to me to help with the water. Awesome! Then, Ella decided she wanted to stay with me a while...and drink some Gatorade....a lot of it! I seriously think she drank as much Gatorade as some of those Lineman. She was enjoying sitting on the bench, drinking Gatorade and staring at the fans. That's right, she didn't want to watch the game. She wanted to watch the fans. And I think she was enjoying the attention of fans saying "Ohhh she is too cute!". Oh yeah, she is smarter than most of us give her credit for. The little grin with her big brown eyes scanning the crowd and her ears ready to receive all of the sweet comments. She is a hoot! I seriously missed most of the first half doing water and getting Miss E some Gatorade.

Here is a picture I took of Ella during the game. You have to admit she's pretty darn cute!

When I looked at the scoreboard at the half it read 28 - 14...and we weren't winning. Then the second half was just awful. Bless their hearts. The final score was 42 - 21 =(. Another sad game. I told Coach after the game that I didn't care anymore but that I was baking cookies for the team this Friday. It is Homecoming week and I think they deserve some. Plus, those boys are so nice to the W.G. They are ALWAYS so polite and telling me "Thank You" for giving them water and most of the time out breath while doing so. How sweet is that!?!

On the way home we picked up some pizza to eat while we watched the CARDS vs cats game. It was my parents last night in Lousiville =( When Stefan got home from the game he told me he knew what went wrong... that he forgot to come and kiss me before the game!!!! I KNEW IT!!!! Next game I will make sure EVERYTHING goes right. Friday is also our first District game. I say we go undefeated in District. We can do it! Stay positive peeps! I have faith in my Coach and his team!

Even though CAL couldn't pull out a win our CARDS did! Woohoo! It was such a great game. So proud of those CARDS! My parents left Sunday morning and we already miss them. We had so much fun these last two weeks with them. Can't wait to see them again when we go to State =)

Lots of Love,
