Mommy Coaches Brooklyn's Soccer Game

Brooklyn's soccer coach was out of town on a retreat so mommy coached her team. I was hoping that the game itself would be uneventful but that was far from the truth. None of her teammates showed up till 5 minutes before the game was to start. That was just the start of my problems. I already knew that two of the players were going to be gone but I thought that everyone was going to be there. One of her teammates never showed so that only gave me 5 players to play. Therefore, everyone would have to play most of the game. One of the other teammates has been sick so she didn't feel like playing either. I also had another teammate who knows the game of soccer really well and plays very well had a meltdown. She didn't want to play anymore. I was beside myself. The other team's coaches were real sympathetic toward me and the team and offered to give us one of their teammates so we could finish the game. We only played 3 quarters instead of 4 because Fancy FC was just too tired to play. The girls that played did well and I am proud of them. I did realize that I still know nothing about soccer and I know now that I couldn't be a soccer coach. Regardless I survived the game and Brooklyn had fun. I owed her ice cream so after the game I took her to get her ice cream.
