And now the end is near...

I can honestly say that I will be thrilled when football is over for the season. I stood at the field last night for 2 hours in the cold watching the PeeWees scrimmage the Midgets (which is a difference of about 50 lbs or so). I stood right by the fence so I could make sure that Matt wasn't one of the kids on the ground writhing in pain every other play. Two of the boys were actually crying last night... real tears.. real cries.. AT FOOTBALL! Now these kids had to be hurt because you know that they are tough stuff. The coaches try to make light of it, but it makes me very nervous. I guess I'll always be this way. I'm just really glad that Matt is not a running back because these are the kids that get clobbered.

We won the game on Sunday (after two Ambulances came to the field to take away two of the opposing teams' players.. one precautionary neck pain and the other a broken collarbone)... This means that if we win this week, we will be in the playoffs. (yikes).. I'm not sure what to root for. If this wasn't Matthew's favorite thing in the world, I would seriously consider not doing this... I'll just keep on padding him up and asking the angels to surround him during his games. Go team Go!
