Soccer Night in Town

Tweet

Tuesday nights are soccer nights for my daughter. She is in the ladies league so they don't play until 9pm. When she works afternoon shift she has to ask to get off work early so she can play. When she got home today the very first thing she said to me was, "It's pretty cold out there. Are you sure you want to go?" I've already written off going to any out of town games because we ride with one of the coaches and I have no control when the weather is bad. I told my daughter that I was bringing my winter coat with me tonight. What I ended out doing was on top of my jeggings and long sleeved t-shirt, I put on some warm sweat pants and a hoodie. I ended out sitting in the car, brought my winter coat out and covered myself with it. Then I eventually pulled out a blanket over top of the coat. Then I pulled out a zip up hoodie and put it on over top of the other one and put both hoods on. (Body warmth escapes from the top of the head). So I was pretty cozy in the car and was parked right behind the goalie so I could see everything. I never turned the car on to warm it up because they don't like headlights shining at the players... plus there was very little gas in the car. But once I put those hoods on, well, at half time I actually dozed off. LOL! So how cold was it? Our temperature is in celsius. It was 11 degrees when we got there and 8 degrees when we left (double it and add 32 to get the farenheit temperature). Honestly, I am really tired of this up and down weather. It is making me sick, literally. My fibromyalgia can't handle it. And I think it is also contributing to my stomach problems (the stomach is a second brain). As for the soccer game, I noticed my daughter is the only player on her team that never left the field. She was never pulled off for a substitution. She is the captain. And the game ended in a 1-1 tie. They played a good game until the last few minutes when they started falling apart in their own end (which was way down at the other end of the field but I could see it ). I hope the weather warms up because I bought a couple of really nice sundresses, one to wear to a wedding on July 2nd. Don't want to have to wear a coat over it. Dang weather!
