Both of mine played goalie. I think that may have been because they had grown up on a farm working, and so they weren't afraid to "take a hit". The one set of games that comes to mind is when a rather tall girl was rouffing Carol-Ann up pretty bad and she had told the ref twice that it was happening, the ref told her that he truly wasn't seeing it, and believed her. He said if I'm not able to catch her, I can't punish her. Carol-Ann said "okay, if you can't see her, you'd better not see me when I even up the score. Next time down the field she came at Carol-Ann, Carol - Ann caught her with her knee right on her pubic bone, and as she was falling to the ground, right foot to the head, yup, out cold. She didn't bother Carol-Ann at all the next two years they played that team. Then during the boys game, everyone that got anywhere near Donnie, he said "hey, remember the girls game, my sister, I taught her that move. They all stayed out of the goalie area. It was a fun night of soccer for me.<br />Dillon is so excited, his Mom and Dad is letting him come with me this week. I got most of my tasks taken care of yesterday, and it seems as though I will be able to catch up yesterdays (misses) and get todays done also.<br />I am suppose to bring a CD from Cordelia, if she gets it to me within the next 28 hours. I will see ya'll tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348872920041661678noreply@blogger.com
