Death by YMCA-Sports

3 kids
3 games
3 different locations
1 Saturday
2 hours
1 Mom
Repeat each Saturday morning for 6 weeks

I know I can skip my workout on Saturday mornings, because I feaverishly clean the house in the morning, sprint to the car 4 or 5 times in between games, my blood pressure rises, and I don't eat because I'm too busy running back and forth between games. But I don't recommend it for getting in your cardio.

What I was thinking when I signed them all up for a fall sport, I have no idea. Now I'm paying for my impetuousness. And, I realize that this is the problem when you encourage your kids to learn a sport... they actually want to play it.

You think they're learning positive lessons: getting good exercise, being a team player by passing balls, confidence and assurance when they score that goal, frustration tolerance when they don't, getting up and trying again when they fall, not whining and crying when they smash into another player. There are lots of great reasons for kids to play sports.

Except that it harries their mother when she's an Army wife.
Wake me up when it's November.
