Rain

on monday we had a make up game schudualed at the pellissippi fields. if you are knew to the world of soccer amke up games in our league, they are not cancelled. it is a very rare occasion. so, big suprise, come 5:45 we were on the feild for our game, even though the other team had yet to show up. they were not from around here, obviously! so, while we waited for about an hour for them to show up, we engaged ourselves in many safe, parentally approved activities.

these activities include.... wrestling/running through/making a slip a slip and slide out of the "river" as we called it. it was a river all around the feild, about knee deep of mud and water. you know, in the ravine between all the feilds to keep them seperated. it was not pretty.

while it was pouring, we also simply laid on our backs in the 3-4 inch puddles that consumed over half of the feilds getting mud on our previously bright white unifors, and getting wet.

we also had numerous mud fights. this is both throwing, as well as wiping mud on people. caution: if someone slaps mud of you, specifically your neck and calves and sometines back (target areas) it can be very painful.

the last thing we did was we scrimmaged ourselves. we would put mud on our arms, and when shoulder to shoulder with someone, we would wipe it all over them. or, just push them in the river and take off downfeild. whichever was easier.

dont we sound like a mature team? hey, you gotta admit, there is no way you can say we dont have good team chemistry and bonding!

so, after that we had the actual game, and i got a ride home with Beckers. as we walked up, her mom handed me a plastic bag thing that was cut open, the kind the dry cleaners give you with your clothes, and a wrapped up and hopped in. by the time i got home, the Gibsons, Jacksons, and Greskevitches (sp?) were all in my basement playing games with the rest of my family. i warily creeped down there to say i was home and getting in the shower (i was very late because of that other team) i scampered back upstaris amongst many laughs. but then again, surely they were imagined! why would they laugh at me????!!!!
