I did actually talk about taking up boxing, its something my S11 has wanted to do for a long time, and I think at least the training side of it would be alot of fun to me as well. At 39 im not real sure im interested in getting in the ring and someone punching back, but I could work a bag over pretty good. Something like that will have to wait until November though, I coach my sons youth football team and our season starts on Saturday so between 3 day a week practices and games on Saturday and church on Sunday there's not alot of time to squeeze in something else right now. At least for now my early morning runs will have to suffice.
I will say that as far as 180, GAL goes etc I did go to a parent/child kickball game last Saturday with my S11 and we had a great time. If not for this sitch, im positive I wouldnt have played. One of us would have most likely dropped him off, or at the most stayed there but not participated, but I played and I had a great time, but more importantly it really made an impression on him and I was happy to see him smile like that....(and I know I shouldnt care, but he's gonna tell him mom all about it b/c thats what he does and she'll be surprised...can't hurt right).
Im trying to find more that he and I can do together at times, im really trying to balance b/c I know it can't be a party everytime we're together, but I was so against it being a party all the time before that we ended up doing nothing so we've seen a movie and played kickball in the last couple of weeks. Im thinking real soon we'll throw in some bowling...im terrible, but i've always had a good time doing it.
