Today and tomorrow are the two biggest matches of the year for Sara’s soccer team. They ended up at the top of their league in spite of three very bad injuries to some of the best players. At the early games down in Swift Current, two players sustained bad knee injuries. One – Sara’s best friend, just had knee surgery two days ago. The latest injury came three games ago to their top striker – broken ankle two places and the tibia broken too. No they have some major obstacles to overcome if they are going to pull off wins today and tomorrow. Today the game is at 11:00 (Kinsmen Park) and tomorrow we head down to Saskatoon for a game at 3:00 (Newsham Field).
So this will be a busy long weekend for our family. I will stay with my son and his wife Sunday and then maybe some wedding dress shopping on Monday.
My older daughter also wants me to help her with a grant application. That is going to require an extra measure of patience on my part. Both because she and I usually clash when we have to do stuff like this together and also because neither of us is gifted when it comes to working with numbers.
This weekend another church family and I are trading childcare responsibilities – for our teenaged daughters. Just not quite comfortable with leaving them all on their own overnight. So I get her daughter tonight and she gets one of mine tomorrow. I had offered to let mine stay with Grandma and Grandpa – somehow she didn’t go for the idea!
