Last night we lost an exciting soccer game that kicked off with yet another spectacular fall, this time with my head sliding dangerously toward the wall at an extremely high velocity. The thunk could be heard from clear across the field, followed shortly by the simultaneous sound of synchronized sharp intakes of breath from a few team members thinking the worst. Luckily I only have a bit of a bruise this morning. No concussion, Ma! Thank God for my thick skull! It has saved my butt on many occasions.
This soccer business! Thrilling stuff! And sometimes also explosive. After the match two team members blew up at each other, and one is now threatening to quit. The other, like the ass that he sometimes is, screamed back with an offer to pay her fees right then and there if she wanted to leave. Ugh. Not helpful.
We're going to try to play ambassador and calm people down - a coming to Jesus meeting, if you will. We've had one of these before when players needed to be reined in, but I don't know if it'll work out this time. Oh, the drama... :)
