some new things for junebird



My week is already crazy with 4 children playing soccer. Games started yesterday and it's going to be a tough 6 weeks. I just have got to be more prepared for our games tonight. Last night I wasn't and had two fussy children, and lots of stares. And can I just say that it's not nice to stare at someone with a fussy little one. I think it's best to take pains to not even glance at crying, fussy children, it's just the most loving response to the mama trying to tend to them (unless you are accompanying that glance with a smile, or kind word of encouragement or understanding). So anyway, I've learned a small lesson in leaving in a hurry with no water (and no cash for the concession stand) on a hot afternoon. I mean, really, no water? What did I expect? :)

  1. I think that they were jealously staring and thinking, "How can this beautiful, young woman have six kids? Dang!" :)

  2. Don't feel bad. I did that last year during soccer too. I also recently took the kids to a picnic at the park and forgot the food!

    Oh and I like Joseph's comment! That must have been what they were thinking!

  3. Thank you Lisa! And I'm the queen of being unprepared. It's been a lifelong problem for me, and I think I'll always be trying to do better!!
    I hope you have a good week girl, and I know how glad you are for some fall weather! I sure am!
