SNACK ENVY
1 CommentSoccer season is in full swing with practices twice a week with games on Saturday. I love it. As I’ve mentioned before, not only do I get to watch my daughter have fun, I get to socialize with my friends who are there watching their daughters have fun too. I do have my worries though, which have nothing to do with what you might think, like my daughter getting hurt or being the brunt of unsportsmanlike behavior. No. My biggest fear is that it will be my turn to bring snack and I will forget. That would be awful. A humiliation from which I could never recover. How could I live that down? “MOM!!! IT WAS YOUR TURN TO BRING SNACK AND YOU FORGOT???????????” The worst. So I always make sure that I sign up for my turn right away so that I can get it out of the way and won’t forget. But then there is another fear looming ahead of me like, “What if I bring a sucky snack? The wrong popsicle or fruit no one can stand? What then?” So I quiz my daughter in advance. “What should I bring?’ I’m told to get the “Big grapes with no seeds and the creamsicle popsicles.” Done. I was a hit. The kids loved me. Whew. Now I can relax for the rest of the season.

ROFL!!!! I can SO relate! I’m always scared about forgetting my snack turn, too. Like you, I sign up to be one of the first, so I won’t forget. Coaches really need to give you a reminder call or something…geeze!
