Mom's big comeback

If you ask mom, the biggest thing she had to give up while pregnant was probably being able to play soccer (enjoying the occasional adult beverage was a close second). For about 10 months she had to watch dad run off to play once a week and then enjoy his outdoor season during the summer. She did, however, let him know in the slightest remark how "fair" that was. Dad just nodded and walked out the door....

So this past Sunday mom made her triumphant return to the pitch. She wasn't expecting too much out of herself since she had only run three or four times since I popped out. Combine that with about three or four weeks at the gym and you can guess how she felt.

So of course dad and I had to go watch. It may seem by the look on my face that the game wasn't that interesting, but it was a goal-fest....unfortunately for the other team. But mom played pretty well given the fact she hadn't touched a ball, except for in my room, in so long.

I'm proud of her though. She'll be back to top form before you know it.

* As a side note, dad won his outdoor league last week. Yeah dad. I couldn't attend due to threat of rain....
