Life of a Soccer/Baseball/Football/Clogger/Ballet Mom

Hannah getting ready for her soccer game.

Annika rummaging through the over stuffed soccer tote
to find her soccer essentials.

Annika getting ready. All children know how to get ready on
their own. Which makes a huge difference.

I remember the good old days when my children were all under the age of 7. I had only Jaren in sports. I thought it was such a chore to get Jaren dressed and ready and then load all the kids in the van and head to his game. Gone are those easy going days.

Now any day of the week my nights are filled with 2 if not 3 sporting events. Anything from a soccer game to a football game. From clogging to ballet and a baseball practice thrown in for good measure. AND homework to add a little spice.

Have you ever committed to something without realizing the consequence that comittment would bring? My eyes have been opened to that huge mistake. My life is so OVER BOOKED right now it' not even comical. I feel as though I am running from game to game to game to practice to practice to me going crazy. I'm sure sometime in the future I'll be able to look back and say, "Dang you fool!! What were you thinking?" And maybe throw in a good chuckle.

Not right now. I blame my husband for our over scheduled lives. If it were up to me, my children wouldn't be in sports at the moment. Homework is hard enough to keep on top of. I have told Brent repeatedly, "We will NEVER do this again," (said with the evil eye).

Moral of my boo-hooing: JUST SAY NO!!!!
