Tied at the finish
April 29, 2006
My girls tied another game today. They’ve been playing so well, and I’m incredibly proud of them. I could do without these close games though. We were pretty much tied with the other team (who already beat us once this season) for the entire game. Our game-winning shot came two seconds two late. The ball drifted into the net right as the buzzer rang. No good.
At least I’ve calmed down. During our first few games, I paced so much that I practically dug a trail on the sidelines. I shouted until my throat was raw. I furiously pulled at the roots of my hair when we lost the ball.
I’m still crazy, just not as much. I can’t stay nervous or upset. It’s too easy for them to make me laugh.

Congrats! Even though its a tie, I’m sure your girls gave all they’ve got! That’s a really good picture of you and your girls. All of you look so happy, it’s impossible not to smile after looking at it!
