Sometimes it Calls to Me.

Tonight I took Aly and Lidia to Special Olympics soccer. All I wanted to do the whole time was run out on the field and start playing with them, but I wasn't sure they'd appreciate that. Especially given my propensity for slightly excessive agression on the soccer field.

You know that feeling when you are horrifically, unbearably, painfully lonely and you physically ache for human touch?

If not, I envy you.

Anyway, that's me with soccer lately. Except now I'm just horrifically out of shape and aching for soccer.

I am definitely planning on rearranging my entire life next year around being on a soccer team.

Also, I am infinitely thankful to the doctors who made it possible for me to play soccer. And walk. But especially play soccer. It's funny to think sometimes that if I had been born somewhere else in the world I would never have had the privilege to walk. Huh.

And this has been random soccer-related thoughts with Julie Anna. Tune in next time to hear Julie Anna ramble about bucketball.

soccer bores me. I think it's really unfortunate that I never got into it, seeing as how it's the universal sport. Buvketball on the other hand, does not bore me. Lets talk about that.

Soccer, I don't know mucha bout that sport, seeing I am a liability in any team sport so I have nothing really of much interest to comment here, except I think you should join a soccer team! Than you could have more cute pictures of Julie with a soccer ball, lke that one in your house, you know the cute one....although I suppose you wouldn't be quite as cute now, being old and all.........hahah oh my just joking, but really team pictures are some of the best parts of team sports!
