We started the day with the Girls Varsity Lacrosse Sectionals. It was a beautiful morning and, for the most part, an outstanding game. It was a frustrating loss - at least one really bad call and frankly, the other teams ability to keep the ball down by the goal and run the clock...for more than 10 minutes total. There were tears from our girls, but they still came out with their heads held high.

When I got home I read this on the team FB wall:
Strength and courage aren't always measured in medals and victories. They are measured in struggles they overcome. The strongest people aren't always the people who win, they are the people who don't give up when they lose.

I can say with 100% sincerity that the girls played their hearts out. I can also attest that although they were bummed out, they WERE able to eat at Panera's where I had the pleasure of sitting with four of the girls and two of their friends. They were able to laugh, show me prom dresses and talk about what's next. We planned a dinner here with a date TBD, and we all went our separate ways.

THEN, it was prom shoe shopping time. I am not a fan of shopping. I really never have been. Bella, she LOVES to shop. So, to Marshall's, Famous Footwear and DSW we went. Victory was had at DSW and I highly recommend shopping there for they will order your size if they don't have it. The shoes were a ridiculous price (as in less than $50) and Bella is happy. Score one for the mother.

Tonight there will be lots of singing here as Bella and her friends decide what to sing for a performance they will have in a few weeks. I look forward to it.

I wish you all a most marvelous Saturday.
Music today - a wild mash-up victory mix for the girls!

A number of viewers are keen to watch comic video clips, but I like to watch awesome shoes music videos on your blog.
