Last night was our second football match. It was also our second match against Kabira International school. Unfortunately due to a penalty we lost the game but this time we put up a good fight. Our team played much better this time and it was a joy to play. This time I was playing in the midfield section so I was covering the strikers and the defence. I definately got a work out. It was a fun evening and we look foward to next term where we will be playing a Congolese team and the final match will be against some senior students from Rainbow.
Due to Simon being in Sudan Joshua and Zara came to watch. They had more fun playing with the other little girl who was there and doing somersaults off the other goal posts than watching Mum play football. However he was really disappointed to find out we didn't win. It is difficult to explain to a 5 year old that its the taking part that counts and if you win then its a bonus. He wasn't for buying that argument.
On the way home we stopped for some chips. Joshua and Zara thought this was great as not only did they get to stay up late but also have chips too. We did however get stuck in traffic on the way home and right in the middle of the jam my little 3 year old said "I need the bathroom". If it had been Joshua he would have gone in the spare plastic bottle I had but girls are another challenge. Thankfully we made it through the jam onto a road with a ditch. We stopped and did what most Ugandans do when they need to go..... in the ditch or by the side of the road...not many public toilets here. Thankfully Zara is still at the age where she doesn't mind where she goes......maybe it has something to do with growing up in Africa where when you gotta go you go!
