Well, looks like I probably won't be getting the job I mentioned below. Strangely enough, I can't say I'm upset about it. More to the point, I think I'm relieved. I guess I dislike change more than I realize. Now my only fear is that the guy they want to give the job to turns it down because if that happens? Turmoil city again.
This weekend we had three soccer games. Despite what my younger daughter believes, the girls were on the winning side for all three games. It's really interesting to watch their approach to the games. My older girl plays soccer more for the social aspects. She was on the sidelines goofing with her friends when the game ended. I didn't see, but based on what I heard, I wouldn't be surprised if she was surprised to find out they won the game. She tends to kind of sit back even when she's in the game, taking the ball only when there is absolutely no one else on her team around in a panicked sort of way, looking to kick it away as soon as possible. But she says she likes soccer, so go figure.
The younger girl is actually pretty good. If she would work on her kick, she could be really good. She's much more aggressive and not afraid to get in anyone's face (should I be proud or concerned). Defense is her forte. It's kind of interesting, there's another girl on the team that complements her very well (an offense powerhouse - well, as least as much as you get with a 5 yr old). They played together on the same line only once - they actually started plotting about getting the ball to each other. They were so dominant that the coach won't put them on the same line again (it's really kind of sweet - she also helps coach the other team when they are on her side of the field and the girls can't hear their coach. She just doesn't want to embarrass the other team.) When my daughter's off the field, she follows the game closely, cheering on her teammates. This is the same girl who can't be bothered to remember a thing you tell her five seconds after you tell her. Here's hoping she sticks with the soccer so I'll have something to motivate (threaten?) her later on in re to her schoolwork.

I love hearing daughterlet tales. Funny that the older one is the social soccer player and the other is the aggressive/competitive one. I think it's a GREAT thing that she found this new hobby/sport to keep her entertained and busy. Now was this the one that wanted to be an artist but was sort of short on the skill to this point? Or am I thinking of someone else all together?
Nonetheless, what a good mom you are for being such a sport mom for your girls! Oh... and sorry/congrats on not getting the job. (???)
Heh, the older girl was the one who wanted to be an artist. She needs to go law or diplomacy, I think. She's really smart, but athletics are not really her thing (no sense of urgency). The younger one worries me because she doesn't seem to like to think.
LOL! Doesn't "seem to like to think"... poor child! =P~ And as for the older one, maybe she could go into being a Party Coordinator (being the social butterfly and all... =P~)
And you thought I found the artist idea frightening. Party coordinator. *shudder*
LOL... aw, come on... some of those party planners make BIG $$$!!! =)
