Melancholy

I am not sure how I am feeling. I have many things weighing on my mind. I am worried about Mark. He hurt his knee again in the last game. He is planning on sitting out this week, in practice or the Rio Linda game. I am not sure if he should even play anymore. They lost the game this week to Casa Robles, but it wasn't a league game so it doesn't count! He got another touchdown in the first quarter. He played until the fourth quarter when his knee really started hurting.

Mark and Patty broke up a couple weeks ago. I am not sure how to feel about that. I think he should just stay single go on dates and enjoy his senior year. That kid has had a girlfriend since seventh grade...he needs to just enjoy himself.

Jacob is sad because he isn't getting much playing time in football. I am kind of annoyed by this. He does good. He is a tackling machine. I have a feeling it is because I made him late to a couple practices because he hadn't finished his homework. In the rules I was told they can't be punished for that. I will have to check that out and decide whether I should talk to the coach. I don't want to be one of those kind of parents that complain about their kid not getting enough playing time. But when you lose a game because tackles are being missed and you know that your kid could have gotten them...what should you do? They lost to Marysville 12-6. They weren't there in the first half, but they came back in the second half, just not soon enough. Oh well not a league game!!! Jacob was happy though, Amanda came to his game!!!
