Monday was the first day of the 2017-18 school year. I have an 8th, 7th, and 4th grader. Holy cow! How did that happen so quickly? As I was clearing off the kitchen table, I noticed a piece of paper with some questions and answers on it. Here's what it said:
What is your goal for this year?
Win football championship
What will you need to do to achieve this?
- Practice everyday
- Don't slack at practice
- Listen carefully
- Don't goof off
- Work hard
Who will you need to help support you and in what ways?
- Coach, to help me understand plays
- Dad, extra confidence
- Mom, drop me off
Ha!!! Wait. Really! Is that all he thinks I do?
I just had to share it with my favorite football mamas, via our never ending group chat (which averages a good 300 texts a day- at the very least!). And of course, they chimed in with all the extra things we do that he forgot to mention:
- Pick up
- Nourishment
- Encouragement
- Biggest supporter
- Photographer
- Memory catcher
- Nurturer
- Motivation speaker
- Nutrition counselor
- Donut purchaser
- Watermelon cutter
- Orange peeler
- Banner maker
- Cupcake baker
- Official Febreezer
- Cowbell ringer
- Boo boo kisser
And my absolute favorite...
- Goddess of all things important
I absolutely adore each and every one of them!
What will my boys say (or write!) next? Check back soon to find out!
