Move over Posh Spice....

First off, I FINALLY fixed my blasted internet at home! BOOYA! So I will be back and commenting away on your amazing blogs ASAP! Secondly, thanks for all the amazing birthday wishes, you guys rock! And last but not least, hello to all the new readers, I'm so excited you're here! Now, I have something very important to tell you all.

Ahem.

I am officially a soccer mom. Mmmhhmm.

My day has arrived.

Bring on the refs, the team moms, and the Saturday morning extravaganzas. I'm ready, and let me tell you, I was born ready. Ever since I had Mason I've longed after this day. I can't wait to stand on the sideline yelling at Mason to get his thumb out of his butt and GET THE DANG BALL cheering Mason on. I can't wait for the ref to make a bad call so I can say something like "Hey ref! You might wanna check your answering machine, because you've been missing calls all day!" And I'm sure the coach will really appreciate me weighing in with my completely non-existent extensive knowledge of the game. I've seen Bend it like Beckham, I know how the game works, ok?

I've made a checklist of the things I need to get, like a really obnoxious chair to put on the sidelines with Mason's number embroidered on the back. Something that screams 'my kid is better than yours'. But in a subtle tasteful fashion.

Mason has already expressed a great desire to be the goalie. I suggested to him that I could help him practice by kicking balls at his face. You know, so he could learn how to block! He didn't think it was such a great idea. It was worth a shot though.

I wonder what color the uniforms are so I can color coordinate our outfits? Hmmm, that would be good to know. Hopefully it's not something that clashes with red since I'm planning on collecting quite a few red cards this season. Because you see, here's the thing...I'm known to be a little bit of a mama bear. So this is fair warning to all the moms that may cross paths with me on the field: check you piehole when it comes to my kid. I'm not too proud to be kicked off the field for throwing down! But I'm sure in something as civilized as rec soccer all the adults will behave appropriately and not become stage mothers, right?

Practices start in 2 weeks and I Mason couldn't be more excited! And I can't wait to be there with him every step of the way. Orange slices in one hand, capri suns in the other...it's gonna be fabulous! I still can't believe my baby's growing up...So move over Posh, because there's a new mom in town!

  16. LMAO! I was team Mom on Tre's soccer team! Go Me! lol And the Coach sucked nuts. But Tre, dear dear Tre, WEll lets just say Im a little reluctant to get him back on the soccer field. Cause well, you expect to be cheering them on, instead of yelling constantly "TRE!!!! RUN!, TRE pay attention, TRE! Go with your TEAM!! TRE!!!" You get the idea. Goalie was his strong point! He loved it. But he was known to used the goal like monkey bars now and again... So YAY for soccer and soccer Moms around the nation. But um, I know that my nephew is a little similar to his older counterpart, and lets just pray you dont lose your voice!! Love ya!! Oh and please PLEASE be like the other psyco parents who put their Chair DIRECTLY on the sidline. like front legs of your chair ON IT. So that way the kids can run into you when they go for the ball.

  17. lol! You're great! I lived in front of a recreation center that hosted all of the town's teams for anything you can think of...

    so I have seen my fair share of soccer moms, and I think you got the whole thing down pat. Good luck to your son!

  18. If we are being honest here, I can't wait for my kids to play team sports either. No matter how busy or crazy they make life.

  20. I always love your posts. About half way through I started to think maybe you were joking, but, no. No, you were not. That's awesome. I hope you have as much fun as you're planning for an more. I CAN'T WAIT for the "So Today I Got Kicked Out" and the "Bludgeon the Ref" posts I see in the near future . . .

    Punky wants to play soccer (at least, I think she does, or maybe it's that MacGyver wants her to, lol, but she's already in Judo and Singing, and Mommy doesn't schedule around the 6 year old - I know - I'm an evil old bat).

  21. In a little over a month, I'm gonna be a soccer mom too. And, like you, I ain't too proud to be carted away to jail for poppin' some broad in the face. :)
    Just sayin. You may see me on the news!

  28. i'm gonna have to use that answering machine insult. its gold, alicia, its gold.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh no, not a soccer mom!

    You can also yell at the ref, "Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants."
    Oh, wait, wrong line, don't use that on the ref, use that on your hubby.

    ReplyDelete
  30. You are soooo gonna kick butt as a soccer mom. Be as obnoxious as possible!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I know it kills, to watch them out there running around, I think my little man isn't so little anymore, especially when he say's mom...don't do that, you're embarassing me! I'm like are you 6 or 16?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Warning...watch out for some of the other soccer parents. They can be worse than the refs!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Seriously though, I entered this realm last Spring, and it was eye-opening! It's the coolest thing to hear another parent tell their kid, watch out, this one can wallop that ball (talking about your kid) BIG GRINS!! Enjoy it, super fun! AND, what is soccer, without the orange slices??? That's the BEST part!

    ReplyDelete
  34. How exciting! I'm totally jealous! I looong for the day one of my kids gets interested in SOMETHING. I wanna be the crazy mom on the sidelines cheering her kid on! Woohoo! lol

    ReplyDelete
  35. So fun! :)

    Found your blog through SITS!!

  36. Congratulations on adding Soccer Mom to your repertoire! I'm an MMA (mixed martial arts) mom myself, and there's nothing like cheering on your kids as he's putting another kid into an arm-bar or triangle head-lock with the goal of getting that kid to tap in submission. And don't worry about those other moms, they won't wanna mess with someone as fabulous as you! :-)

    P.S. can't wait to see pic of his first practice and game!

  37. we'll be right with you in the fall - I have two heading to soccer. go us!

    ReplyDelete
  38. That's great. Let me know if you need any advice, I played on a traveling soccer team and have 3 fake gold metals as our team was state champions for 3 years when I was in middle school. Traveling and playing was the best thing my parents could ever have let me do. It's the greatest sport, in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  39. LOL! you WERE born for this role. haha I love the idea of coordinating outfits to the team and you should coordinate your snazzy obnoxious lawn chair too. You should definitely embroider "Mason is the greatest" on the back and at the bottom say he is better than all yalls will ever be. Just throw it in their faces. Yup thats right yall he is the latest and greatest thing. Oh and you should get a horn to blow at the rep!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Don't forget the huge pin that you can wear on your coordinating outfit that has your son's face on it! I mean, I wouldn't want you to look silly ;)

  46. You are going to be a busy woman being a soccor Mom! :) And yes, saw Katie Holmes on SYTYCD. What did you think? I thought she was okay, but I thought it was way too easy of a routine and I didn't like the lip synking (sp) :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Throw some elbows, dude. There's nothing wrong with that. I do like your comment to the ref, too. I may need to hold on to that one for future reference.
