Fred

This is our new cat Fred.

I love Fred he is a great little cat. He is quite loving & playful. You can be playing with him & pick him up & he will instantly become submissive. My favorite thing about him though is he sleeps with his tounge out.

Here is something that will make you smile. Yesterday during Jacob's soccer practice they decided to scrimmage. The goalies wanted to play on the field, so the coaches (there are 3 of us.) decided that since the one lady coach was showing the boys footwork on the Field that I would have to be one of the coaches in goal. Yes I laughed at that also & promptly told them I didn't have an athletic bone in my body. Nope they still wanted me to try.
So at the half line the female coach said "Okay, guys she has never played soccer, so don't kill her!" They started playing. Jacob got a break away with only one player defending against him. (He is on the team opposite me.) So what does my son do? He kicks the ball from the right hand side off the field straight at the goal & kicks the ball straight into my face, snaps my head back, but I did catch the ball. I made the save. You could hear every boy on the field make a audible intake of breath when it hit my face & one of the boys said "Jacob you are so dead!" I told them "No, How many times do you get the chance to kick a ball into your mom's face & not get in trouble? He's fine."
I did get told by the female coach & various players, "Nice save/catch!" & one kid said "Wow you didn't cry!" I did however have a headache by the end of the night & my shoulders hurt today. But I Caught The Ball & went up in all the boys opinions. I made two more saves during the scrimmage also.
