Canoe

Here I am, sitting on a bleacher. My hair is in a pony tail, I have a vest on, a travel mug of coffee and I am wearing crocs. My handsome husband is sitting next to me with his coffee and we are watching our son sit in a canoe, with a life jacket on,floating in a pool. Suddenly I realized, OMG! I'm a soccer mom!!! Maybe he's not playing soccer, but we are cheering him on and we're sitting on a bleacher and we came here in a mini van. AHHHHH!!!! It was so funny to realize, but it was nice also. It was a nice realization that sometimes things that we steer clear of, in actuality, bring us most joy. We were so proud of him and his learning how to master something. Seeing him gain confidence in himself and making us proud...he was so happy! Who can beat that! So here's a cheer to all the soccer moms out there! Those moms who rush around to fit in events for their children, when in reality are completely at inconvenient times during the week, and yet somehow we make it work. Coming home for dinner and homework and reading and family time! A mothers job is an important one. Never forget that!
