Punch! In the face!

It's been one of those days where if I had the chance to jack someone right in the face I would. The day started out ok. Laundry was done early, sheets were changed, kitchen was clean, and there weren't any other chores. Then we went to Logan's soccer game which was awesome. We won 2-1 and all of my kids played well and hard. Then the frustration came whilst watching Connor's game. Holy shit! First, the ref stopped the clock every time the ball went out. YOU DON'T STOP THE CLOCK IN SOCCER! I SAID GODDAMN! So a game that is supposed to take 32 minutes ended up going almost an hour. I'm not exaggerating. It was fucking ridiculous. Neither of the coaches said anything and the last time I saw a parent say something to a ref it almost started a brawl. So I just sat there watching and looking at the clock and wanting to scream. Second, Connor's team has two kids who don't give two shits about playing. One will kick the ball and then stand there. Seriously, he won't take another step until the ball goes out. Then there's another kid who is just a horrible human being. Yes, I'm saying a five year old is a horrible human being. If you have never felt the urge to punch a kid in the face, come to one of our games and have a life changing experience. On the bright side, Connor scored a goal which was great. Now, I'm having an icy cold Sam Adams and eating some trail mix.

Imagine Citizen Grant playing for a major soccer team, in a major tournament in front of billions!! The scenes I imagine are epic, historical, destined to mythical proportions. WI.
