WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 11

[confusedinpa]

The day got better in the afternoon.

While my 3 year old napped, my 7 year old and I played video games. My 7 year old wasn't feeling very well in the morning (he think he was coming down with a cold). I gave him a double shot of vitamins and kept pumping OJ into him all day. He was feeling better by the time the 3 year old woke up from his nap.

I vacuumed the house as the boys dusted (I'm trying to make it so it's not just fun and games all the time, plus it was something I needed to do). They enjoyed helping me.

I made dinner as the boys played. We ate and then we went to my 7 year old's soccer game. My wife told me that she wasn't coming today as she was taking a class. Her mom came to watch.

I think this is one of the toughest things to give up by taking the job as I coach my son's team. The team has really come together (as much as it can for a 7 year old's team) over the last 2 weeks. We had gotten blown out (6-0) the first game, but we won the last 3 by at least 2 goals each time. Today, we shut out the other team. All the kids were excited. Even the smallest girl on the team (it's coed) scored today. She was so excited. My son was very excited as he scored the first goal today.

After scoccer, it was still really nice out so the 3 of us ate ice cream on the patio. I had the boys called my wife as my 7 year old wanted to tell her about his soccer game. My 3 year old didn't want to talk to her. All he said was bye when she said bye. I could hear my wife trying to get them to talk to her, but besides the game, they didn't have much to say to her. I didn't get on the phone at all.

We got done with the ice cream and went into to get ready for bed. The boys helped me fold the towels as we watched a video.

It was a good nite.

I had told my assistant coach that after next week, I will only make the Thurs nite games (we also play Tues). He seemed a little nervous but said he would just ask one of the other parents to help. I had thought about saying something to the team tonite, but thought I would wait till next week.

It will be hard when I do start the job, particularly on Tues nite as I know I will be missing the games. I'm going to ask my wife to video/take pictures. I hope she is willing to....
