This afternoon was the dreaded long-anticipated Mamma Match for Sofia’s floorball team.
It’s when the team plays against their moms. It’s the last thing they do of the season.
That’s me in the green shirt.
I realize it looks like I am totally hip-checking that small child, but really, I was only reaching for the ball.
Some people have been wondering what floorball is . . . it is quite similar to floor hockey, only the sticks are more aerodynamic . . . and the goalie is down on the floor (and uses no stick).
We lost . . . but it could be because the ref scored for the kids or he blew the whistle to change strings every time we were setting up to score (he’s their coach) . . . or maybe it had do with the goal that was scored while I was in the penalty box (for tripping . . . my own daughter . . . but I swear, it was not intentional).
And yes, we did have a couple of older brothers helping us out (thank goodness – it gave us more time to breathe between time on the court).
And tonight I am feeling really old . . . Stefan and I went out for a walk yesterday evening . . . our road is in bad shape from the harsh winters, and sorta slopes down along the edge (it is not flat, but higher in the middle). Anyways, while I was walking, I noticed that my left leg was taking deeper steps (like I was limping) because it was farther down to meet the road. I figured already then, that my hip was going to bug me today, and sure enough, after the first five minutes of floorball my left hip started aching.
Oy vey.
Where’s the heating pad?

8 friends had something to say . . .:
haha! It totally looks like you're body checking that kid...and, the penalty box?? Hmmm...methinks someone played to win ;D
Sorry about your hip aching...know how it feels *sigh*...hip problems seem like such an "old person's" ailment, doesn't it...?
Great job doing the whole floorball thing...think if it's ever my turn, I may claim 'aging hip problems' as a legitimate attempt to cop out ;D (and, you ever feel like someone missed sending you the memo about the event's dresscode...? I'd totally have the exact 'outfit' you were wearing, but apparently shortie tights and lady's exercise t's were on the list for the day... ;D)
Hope the heating pad does the trick! Take care, my friend :)
ahhhh so thats what floor ball is. It seems rough to be the goalie? Well glad you made it thru the game, all the kids probably love to play against their parents. It looks like a lot of fun. sorry about the hip, but no pain, no gain huh?
Men Barb. Tackla ett litet barn på det där viset.:) Det finns ju bildbevis också. :)
susse
Hahaaahahaa! You totally rock, Sista! Miss you!
Advil usually helps when I am sore after chasing, I mean runing with, Aidan around the block! Sounds like you had fun, though!
Yeah right.... Baves! We all know what you were doing! Not checking...hmmm....the evidence is there! Btw, who won?
The coach actually put you in the penalty box for "tripping" your own daughter? What a hoot!
Sounds like you all had fun1
Great story! And, I love the the labels for this post are aging and floorball. What a combination!
