You guys know I’m the oober Soccer Mom. I go to as many games as I can and would clone myself if I could so I could attend everything.
Too bad I can’t make a money tree grow in the backyard.
Lack of money led me to make the sacrifice of staying home while Chicky and the Mr. flew to a tournament in Las Vegas. Do you remember how I bought myself a marvelous stash last year when I went to this tournament?
Yeah, I know. It could have been this trip that led to my financial woes. Well, not completely, but it certainly didn’t help.
Anyhow, on Thursday, I had to get up at the indecent hour of 4:30 to take them to the airport. It would have been easier if I had been getting on the plane with them. Rooster and I drowned our sorrows in Starbucks Frappuchinos and donuts.
The worst thing about getting left behind is not getting to watch Chicky play.
She’s amazing.
I think I’ve said this before.
Although teenagers can gab all day long on the phone to friends, talking to parents on the phone is an entirely different game.
Ugh.
Trying to pull details about her trip, the games, and other regular chit-chat was like trying to make Molly obey the “Stay” command.
Nearly impossible.
Add to that unwillingness was Chicky’s teenaged attitude from thousands of miles away.
Grrr…
When I pick her up from the airport tomorrow, I’ll give her a big hug before popping her on the rear. Shame on her for tormenting me from afar.
Kids really know how to push your buttons.
Oh, and FYI, I’m not getting left behind next weekend. We’ve got Round 1 of state playoffs.
I’d like to see her try to give me attitude face-to-face.
Stay tuned…
P.S. Chicky’s team didn’t do too well at the tourney…oh well…such is the way with sports…
