Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
That face breaks my heart. The final score broke my heart - 24-3. Even though we were the first team all season to shut them out in the first half and to have them down at the half, they were just bigger and stronger and had more players so they could be fresher in that... Continue Reading →
It dawned on my yesterday that I know just how to complete SB's Pop Warner career scrapbook that my mom has been putting together with pictures. A thought that his been on my mind as this season winds down. Which it is. And I am sad. Because it's been an amazing run. 6 seasons. 5... Continue Reading →
Depending on how you count things, this was #5 for SportsBoy. The Mighty Mite division doesn't really have a championship playoff round. You play out the regular season and then play a one game Chocolate Bowl game which does make sure to match up the teams according to their records so it does always come... Continue Reading →
I got to sleep in yesterday because the trainer switched our weekend classes from Saturday to Sunday. And thank heavens for that!! I still wake up at 6am anyway just because I'm so used to that and wouldn't you know I had a nice sinus headache worked up? Ugh. So I took some meds and... Continue Reading →
Between plays I'm trying again with these photos from the 9/26/09 game when SportsBoy had his touchdown catch. There was a professional photog on the field that day which I just remembered about so I was thrilled to find these. Hopefully WordPress allows me to load them this time!!! If you look closely he's still... Continue Reading →
I love when she rolls over like that 🙂 So I am showing off the camera a bit. That photo was taken from about 6 feet away as I sat on the sofa. Here's another from the same distance but with zoom: Now here is one from the other night. Low light, me sitting at... Continue Reading →
Yeah, I adapted the title from this classic Calvin & Hobbes collection: If only the *image* was as appropriate as the words!! After my 8am workout I went home and showered and then made a batch of Bisquik blueberry pancakes for SportsBoy and I to have for brunch. Since he is really *not* that close... Continue Reading →
Game two went MUCH better! There was no score in the first quarter and our team was losing the field position battle, but early in the second, while the opponent had the ball, I saw their QB step back and launch a pass in the direction of the receiver who SportsBoy was covering (he plays...

It's seriously too damn hot to be at this laptop for very long and, as usual, I only took a few pics. I must say I like the one I turned into the football season banner (for now). That's the team showing off their feet for a cleat check before the game. If you've been... Continue Reading →
Knee feels totally fine after a 2 hour practice yesterday. We are ready to GO! Final season of pop warner - can you believe it?
