A New Accomplishment for Momma

Bob watches the boys twice a week so I can get out and play soccer. Last Sunday, my team played a game at Genessee and I scored 4 goals! This was the highest goal total for me ever in an official outdoor game. I've scored a hat trick one time (3 goals). I believe that was my first game back after I took maternity leave with Jonathan. On average I score a single goal between 2 teams every other season or so. I felt a little guilty afterwards, scoring so many goals considering our team won 7-1 or something like that, but I do have to say that the other team's goalkeeper was a total jerk so it felt really good scoring so many against him. The rest of their team was really nice though. This keeper would get the ball and slowly dribble it out and take his time. I've seen keepers do this if their team is winning by one or two goals to waste a little time, but apparently this keeper does it all the time. I asked the girl I was guarding from the other team about it and she said that's how he is. Their keeper was also very mouthy and argumentative towards our team too. Worst part was he didn't even shake our hands afterwards. Nice guy.

Anyways, with the 4 goals I scored on Sunday and an additional one goal on each team already this season, i've scored 6 goals between both of my teams so far this season. A new record for me. This is despite a rolled ankle I suffered early in the season. I will enjoy the success because it might not ever happen again!
