Soccer

I wasn't able to get my computer in the shop until Friday so I have one more day with my baby. I thought I would post Catie in her soccer gear! She did so well today at her first practice and I think I did pretty good myself!! It wasn't too hot and we mainly ran drills and practiced long kicks to see where all the kids stand in the way of skill. Catie did well considering she has never played before and she showed some real potential. I think if she could learn how to run she would be a great athlete. She has the skills but the poor child can't run!! She flails her arms about and looks too funny. Max wanted to play too but Aunt Em took him and Charlie to the playground to burn off some energy. It was a great afternoon but I am really tired today.





While I was cooking dinner tonight Max escaped out the back door and a very kind neighbor brought him home. I wanted to kill him!! He is such a monster and how he has figured out the child proof knobs is beyond my realm of understanding. He can't pee pee in the potty but he can get a child proof door knob open. What am I going to do with him!

I saw an old acquaintance that happens to know our family very well and I found out that there is a certain member of my family that isn't happy about me going back to school and isn't going to be supportive. I had been wondering for awhile if this person was happy about me going to school but after a little incident this week it all made sense. It is hurtful to me that someone who is supposed to love me doesn't have faith in me and it just makes me want it that much more. The funny thing is that when I do graduate from school this same person who has no faith in me now will try to take credit for me finishing and it just burns me up inside. But what can you expect from a dysfunctional family like mine?

Well I am off to bed. I am weary and this is the first time all day I have had the chance to sit down for something other than feeding a child or driving. Tomorrow will be better!
