Friday, Mia went to a school dance. She said it was fun and she was glad to hang out with some friends. After work, I headed over to my friend's apartment. Him and his wife were planning on going to move to Florida, but after the hurricane came through, they changed their plan and are going to Madison for an undetermined time. It was fun hanging out with old college friends for a few hours. Couldn't stay too long. Early to rise for the last of our 8:30 matches. Mia woke up excited for the game. I knew the hot weather would be rough and hoped the early start time would mean it wouldn't be as unbearable as it was, but the girls were still melting out there. They were already kinda bummed to have to wear blue pinnies since the other team were wearing pink as well. I gave them mist bottles to cool off when they were on the bench. The first half started out well. Kylie was netting goals like usual. One was what she referred to as a "long distance shot". Things started to slip soon after our 3rd goal. Our defense was all over and it was an off day for our keeper Antwita. She mostly did quite well but had a few mistakes which had them leading at the end of the 1st half 4-3. 2nd half I tried to mix things up. Switched keepers and had my lead striker in the back. Didn't work out. Scarlet started out okay but let in some easy goals causing me to once again switch keepers and put Bella in for her first ever time at goal. Didn't work at all. None of them were talking and Kylie, who I moved back to striker couldn't get the support she needed. They put in several more goals ending the match 3-9. Our first loss. Mia was completely out of it most of the game but the one that surprised me most was her friend Cecilia. She played very hard and was giving high fives to fellow teammates. She may have been bummed they lost, but she was running hard. Addison returned from a two week trip but struggled to get herself into the game. At practice, we have to work on communication, passing and taking shots when given the chance. Mia had a couple good ones that she could have blasted in, but she sorta backed off. Throughout the game, Mia and Cecilia when they were on the bench, were actually making plans for the evening. We were invited for a bonfire later.
After the game, we hit up the library for a book sale. Mia got some books and we went back home to relax the rest of the day till the bonfire. Mia kept asking all day "when do we get to go?" Finally when the time arrived and we got to the house. her friends Cecilia and Hayden came sprinting to our car in their jammies. They actually wanted her to sleep over. Mia's still pretty nervous about it, but really wants to try it some time. They played, made Smores. and later we went home. Jill was feeling pretty lousy and did her best to stay social. but her sinuses were really acting up. Mia was bummed she had to leave as well as her friends but we'll do it again hopefully soon.
After we got home and the girls went to sleep, I watched the Chelsea vs Stoke match. Fantastic match. Morata getting his 1st hat trick and Pedro's goal was stunning. Glad they're doing well.
Sunday, Jill was feeling better. We hung outside a bit, Mia read in the grass and before long it was time to go to work. This week, we've got practice, Mia's got Picture Day and a game Saturday and immediately after, we're changing and going to the Star Wars day event at Discovery World. Mia and I are both dressing up and she couldn't be more excited. With the cooler temps, I hope that helps our team get back on track and win. Leanne is coming into visit so they'll probably do the pumpkin patch Sunday at the Elegant Farmer. That's all for now thanks for reading!
