Soccer coach

I'm coaching soccer again. Two teams this time instead of 'crazy' three. I love it. I love being with my kids, sports, and helping kids in general. The season usually runs six weeks. And by the last week the kids (and the coach!!!!) are pretty much ready to be done. Well, this season the coordinators announced the season would be 12 weeks instead of the usual six... without consulting the volunteer coaches.

Oh this has been L-O-N-G! And I am so ready to be done! By the last couple weeks, the kids are so comfortable with me that some of the... um, not so well behaved kids, can be down right stinkers to me. We are also involved in two other sports. And on top of that, we are doing HUGE projects on our house.

So here's the rundown:

• Tired, whiny kids who want to be done with soccer (my own that I can discipline) - Check
• Sassy, naughty, patient-trying kids (on the soccer team that I can NOT spank) - Check
• Games and practices twice a night (of varying sports) , almost every night of the week - Check, check
• Dirty house because of huge projects - CHECK ... ug!

Oh the end is in sight... I just hope it comes soon!

Happy Things

I have two words... New Carpet! Sigh! I may never ware shoes again.

Movie recommendation

I am usually loath to recommend any show or movie because people's tastes and standards of entertainment differ so greatly... But today I'm making an exception.
My family just had a movie night. Popcorn, candy, grabbed a red box film and snuggled down. It was way fun!!! So the movie was called "Angel in the House." And it was darling! Great family movie with some fun actors and a sweet story. (For you Brits I think it's called "Foster." And by the way, I'm tickled pink that you've been stopping by. Be a good chap and leave us a comment now and again).
Hope you get a chance to check it out. Oh, I can't help it... I've got Britain on the brain.... Cheerio!
