I love Saturdays! I went over to see Jake and Sam after their Kumon today and rode with them on the way to the Fort. Jake has soccer in the area so we thought it'd be a good idea to just grab grub in the area. We had quick lunch at La Nuova. I so enjoy interacting with my children. Sam is very quick-witted and Jake is sooo naughty. What thoroughly crazy traits I love. Hmmm I was telling Sam that I was dark, ugly and curly when I was her age and without batting an eyelash she asked me, "So you're not ugly now?" Haha, how can an ugly buck sire such beautiful children?? I look at my kids... I'm sorry, they are both simply, simply beautiful.
And today, I finally got the chance to watch Jake play football. The experience was nothing short of AAAWESOME. The fact that he was a great defender did nothing to quell my excitement. My very own Carles Puyol. He is quick on his feet and surprisingly agile. Props to my son for keeping his eye on the ball.
They tied the first game and he was saying he wasn't a good defender. I was like thinking, wow why is he being so hard on himself? He was doing a great job! They won the second game, lost the 3rd game and won the last game. Ultimately, Team B placed 3rd!!!
It will probably just be one normal soccer weekend for Jake. Playing soccer and me accompanying him. But it will go down as one of the best moments in my life. Very extraordinary just being there watching my child all tanned, grown and beautiful!
So funny when the other parents were asking me where Jake's dad was. One asked me where he was & I said, "uhm...I don't actually know where he is." The other mom asked me how the dad was. And I said, "He's okay." I told George, casual and certainty in the answer would make one think he and I had just gotten off the phone because I spent my day with Jake. Hahahaha! :D
One thing though, it was the first time I did something with my kids that I didn't feel compelled to share with him that I was so proud of our kids. Honored to be their mom. Like even after we split up, I'd get the urge to share my parent happiness and who better to share it than with the dad right? But lately I've started moving forward and kind of see how the future could just be me and Jake and Sam making our memories together. Does make one think that life holds so much beauty if we unleash all our beautiful hopes and dreams into the great out there.
I feel that I am blessed in so many great things that my priorities are straight and so visible to me. Everything is as it should be.
