Month: September 2009

Tuesday Andrew had a soccer game at 4:30. We left for the almost 18 mile away destination right after school. Along the way we saw other RCS soccer players driving in the same direction. Once we arrived at the school we were puzzled because there was no soccer field. I asked a man going into the building if he knew where the kids play soccer. He said they play at the Auburndale Speedway (that would be one town over).

I found another mom looking for a field and she contacted the coach. He told her to go to the school parking lot and wait with the other RCS players for him to arrive. We did that and then followed him to Auburndale.

While driving and getting closer to the field we noticed a lot of dark clouds starting to form. As soon as we parked the boys jumped out of the cars into a down-pour. A few minutes later it started to thunder and lightning. The boys had to wait 15 minutes. By then it was just raining a little so they started to play. After 5 minutes it started to thunder and lightning again. The boys stopped playing and we waited. The thunder and lightning did not go away, but we did. Blah.

Today Andrew got to play soccer. He scored a goal. His team won. Yea!

So this is what 46 is like. My oldest son has flown from the nest. Eric is off to increase his knowledge and experience life without mom and dad. His room has been handed down to David (really given back since he tricked David into switching rooms with him over a year ago).

David’s old room is now my office/ guest room/ Eric’s room when and if he ever returns.

I have started a new business and am thrilled to have an office.

Eric did come back for one night over Labor Day weekend. He brought 3 hungry friends with him. They ate a good meal and left to go see a movie. That was all I saw of him since I got up early to go clean Gramalie’s condo.

I think I’m going to like this chapter. Chapter 47 might be even better.

If I knew how to update my picture on this website, I would.
