Spring Soccer

Well Spring Soccer has Sprung! And you are never going to believe who they got to coach. I know what you are thinking and don't feel bad I am thinking it too. I truly have no business coaching. The absurdity of this was also confirmed when I told friends I was coaching soccer and one of them got choked laughing so hard. (Thanks, Tracy) Turns out those people at the Y should recruit for the Army, they do not take no for an answer. So my arm was twisted, and I am now the coach for Emmy's soccer team. I bet you also did not know that you do not have to have ever played, watched or even like soccer to coach a 6 year old team. I am telling you they were desperate. Turns out my skill of yelling at kids is a plus, though.

Steve and I have the same debate every sports season. I did not play a lot of sports as a kid, he did and wants our kids to play. I want to sleep in on Saturdays not stand in the cold Oklahoma March weather and watch kids run back and forth. My kids have played a lot of stuff over the past years, meaning I seldom win the argument whether or not they play a sport each season. It is harder than you think to make an argument for laziness. I will continue to try, baseball is coming up and there is already talk about it here. This one is going to be hard to fight. I have always been a push over for a boy in a baseball cap. The first time I saw Steve he was wearing a baseball hat and it was love at first sight, and now all these years later our son loves to wear this worn out old baseball hat and he looks so much like Steve and it just melts my heart. It is starting to look like we will be playing baseball this summer. ; )
