Trying out

 

 

This week is soccer try out week at the middle school. I hope he gets on that team! He is a good player and the rec league at this age is pretty lame. We can't do the travel leagues for several reasons and I want him to be able to continue improving and playing this game he loves! I am a nervous wreck! He said yesterday went pretty well but he has to have goalie gloves to try out as a goalie so that is my assignment of the day. They try out today and tomorrow and then there will be a list of those invited back on Thursday and the team will be listed on Friday. I only have 2 more afternoons of ulcer inducing anxiety until we know if he makes the team. Then we will have to deal with soccer versus musical...

The End of an Era

CARY - The date Feb. 2, 2011 will be remembered for the rest of Panther Creek's wrestling history. It is the night it won its first conference championship — but more importantly, it was the night they ended three of Cary's winning streaks that had last 20 years or more.

It was Cary's first home regular-season loss since 1982 (410 straight matches) and first conference loss since 1990. It will mark the first time Cary has not won a conference title since 1983.

The Catamounts (18-2, 8-0) won 31-25, but needed a final-bout win from senior Anthony Mejia to pull off the biggest win in program history. Cary (25-3, 7-1).

"I really don't know what to say. I'm beside myself," Panther Creek Jon Armfield said. "If we were going to do it, this was the year to do it."

This is part of an article in the Cary News about last nights wrestling victory. Madsen was so excited, even though he wrestled JV, he was part of the team and will now have this to build on in the next 3 years. We are excited for the boys. It is so much fun to be part of something like this and although it sounds silly, they will remember it fondly for the rest of their lives. Good job Panther Creek!

what to do?

How do you keep your mind off of something troubling that you won't know the reality of for several weeks? How do you not go into panic mode when said event could have a very real and significant effect on your life? What do you do about it when it is completely out of your control? Live life as normal? Make small changes now just in case? Make big changes now just in case? Say lots of prayers and hold on tight?
