More Soccer Talk...

Elisabeth has been one tough little cookie lately! Last Saturday she collided with another player and had a horrendous bloody nose....she ended up going back into the game a little later, but it was tender and slightly bruised for a few days. Then, at practice Wednesday evening, she and a different teammate (luckily) collided, and she ended up with the big fat lip you see pictured here. She went back to practicing once the blood cleared. What a trooper! But you've got to admit, she's cute even with a fat lip! hehe

Then, soccer today....Elisabeth's team lost 4-1, so they're solidly at 3rd place in the league. Nick woke up, was grumpy and said he had a headache and went back to sleep after I gave him some Advil. When I woke him up to get ready to leave for the soccer fields, he was really hot, so I took his temp and it was 102. He opted to stay home, so Jerry took Elisabeth to her game. A little later, I woke him up to see how he was feeling, and he wanted to play in his game, and said the dizziness and headache were gone. He no longer felt feverish either. So I took him, he almost scored two goals, and they ended in a tie game....their team's still tied for first in their league. We've been home since the game, he feels fine and no fever! Go figure! (Me thinks it must be sinus/allergy related.)

Life's been busy and I've been fighting a week-long migraine, so the blog wasn't on the priority list, sorry! BTW, we do have another vehicle too. "sigh" Now to get the van to keep from dying until we can get it looked at. (Transmission leak, it does fine as long as we add more fluid! LOL)
