Keeping my head in the game

Last Saturday was bliss.  I sat in the sun for three hours at two different soccer games.  There was the whole coming-home-to-chaos reality check afterward, but the duty of being a soccer mom was no burden.  I no longer have to use the eyes in the back of my head to watch smaller children as they play nearby or pace up and down the field keeping up with toddlers who might wander and not find their way back.  It was me, the folding chair and a pair of sunglasses.  SIXTEEN years of cheering for kids on the soccer field!  I found myself looking at the moms who were distracted by younger siblings, thinking that kind of parenting takes more stamina than running up and down a field...
...don't wish it away--but oh MAN:  To sit is divine.
Game ON.
