Trying to move on

[ClingingToHope]

Walking a tightrope with D10 on something. She had a very good report card. Two As and the rest Bs. No Cs. I owe her $15 for the good scores.

She said she wants to quit swimming. I asked her why and it's a lot of excuses. Finally, the truth came out. She got too tired.

D10 is extreeeemmmmmmeeeeelllllyyyyyy lazy when it comes to exercise. She'd sit and watch TV all day. Now that she's 10 though she's developing a booty and a tummy and she's interested in boys and wants to be skinny.

I just want her to be healthy. She used asthma as an excuse when she was younger not to run. Turns out she didn't have asthma, we just had really old, musty carpet.

She's promised she'll walk/run the dog with me this summer. I told her I was disappointed she was quitting swimming. She actually has the body type to be a very very good swimmer.

Now she says she wants to try basketball. I did not say this, but she has no hand-eye coordination and she doesn't like sports where people are physical. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

But I told her I'd look for a summer league for her.

On a positive note, D7 said she wanted to play soccer again this summer. Last year, we signed her up and she didn't concentrate and it was like pulling teeth to get her to go.

Ahhhhhhhhh the joys.
