I am not sure if I should be ecstatic or sad. I definitely know that I will be overwhelmed. Football season always takes so much out of me. The boys have practice 5 days per week for the first 2 weeks, then for the rest of the season, it's 3 days per week. Why are little kids 15 and under practicing for 2.5 hours per day? Do they not realize that us moms are going to pull our hair out? I have to get everything done by 5pm each day in order to get the boys to practice. We get home at a quarter till 9pm, and they have to eat dinner, bathe, and clean the kitchen. I hate feeding them that late. Then they are so tired in the morning, it is so hard to get them up and moving. I will have to figure out a way to streamline our schedule. If I feed them before practice they will be starving, and I will have to provide something ELSE for them to eat after practice, which will up the grocery bill. Ugh!!!! But hey, God will help me out, and we will come out bigger and better.
The good thing about all of this...? I love seeing the boys doing something they love. Savion looks so cute all padded up, and Jaylem is just in his element. I will endure this for the next 3 months just to see the happiness in my boys.
My kids love this sport, even the little ones. This makes them happy, so I am happy. I will put on a smile and endure. It's hard not to be happy when you are smiling, isn't it?
