All of these are pictures from my mom's garden. I took them so I would have something warm to look at during the cold Utah winter.

AYSO Referee

Right before school got out last year, I took a refereee training course. I wasn't old enough to ref yet, so I had to wait until next season, when I would be old enough to. Anyway, my first game was yesterday (Saturday) and I refereed U-8 kids. All last week I was really nervous. I was nervous about not cheking the time, so the game would go late and that the parents would complain to the ref administrator. It started off really wierd. I checked one team in (shinguards, jewelry, etc.) I then checked in the other team, turned around and there stood a different team. I was really confused, but then I realised that it was a different team. So I checked them in. I call the team captains up (to figure out what team kicked off) and the coaches came up. These are like 30-ish year guys, and I have to tell them to get one of their player's butts over here (only not in those words) When I got that cleared up, we finally started. It gets to ten minutes (the U-8 quarter time) and I am teaching a little girl how to throw in correctly. Then one of those idiot parents decieded 'Oh, I'm twenty years older than this girl, I'm going to tell her how to ref.' During my training course, they told me I was superior to everyone on the field and its edges, so I was superior to those stupid parents.

Anyway, the quarter was supposed to end; those stupid parents decide to tell their kids the quarter's over and I haven't blown the wistle. Then the parents tell me that the quarter is over. I have to agree; the minutes said 10:33 on my watch.

The rest of the game went well, except for the fact that the game before me started really late, so I had to end our game early. I went to the coaches and told them the quarters would be cut to 6 minutes, instead of ten. I heard the parents start to grumble and say to their spouses 'I paid for my kid to play 40 minutes every game, not for this' I am thinking to myself (and wanting to scream out) THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. I AM SORRY THAT THE 9:00 GAME STARTED LATE. DON'T BLAME ME.

Stupid parents....it is just a game for your kid to have fun.

Please Pray a Lot!

Everyone......Even if you don't read anything else on this page, I want you to read this. If you are watching the news, you know this, but I will tell you anyway. Katrina just might be the worst hurricane in recorded history. People in New Orleans and the surrounding cities and states are going to be without food soon. Babies will be without diapers, some without food and water. This is so sad, it is almost unreal. Please, I beg you, please pray everytime you remember. There is now rediculous insurance rates, 40 cent gas rises, mortage rates huge........ Think about this as if it was you or family or friends, because for a lot of people it is. There is ten feet of water, thousands of people dead in their attics, without food, some drown, others are so devastated, they would rather die. Please pray.......I am crying while writing this.....it is so hard to live with this. I wish I could do something.....I guess I can. I will use the best weapon ever.....Prayer. I wish this had never happend, but it did.......SO PLEASE PRAY.
