Haven't been writing much as I'm swamped and in a bad mood, which I tend to try and keep to myself. Nothing really bad happening, just beginning of school stuff, dealing with work stuff, you know the routine. Low energy all around.
Am I a bad mom for dreading soccer season? At first, it seemed like a good way to get my older daughter active (she's more of a reader). The practices were fine, no big deal. Now I get the schedule for the season. Practices are Tues and Thurs at 5:00 (great, except I don't get out of work until 4:30 - try picking up the kids and getting to practice during rush hour in 30 minutes ... yeah, that's going to happen). No biggie, we'll figure it out. Then I looked at the game schedule - every Saturday through November 12th. Who the hell plays soccer in November? We get snow by Halloween, on occasion. Needless to say, it's cold by that time of year. Oy. Can I just back out gracefully now? Probably not. My girl seems to like it. *sigh* By the time we get Saturdays free again, it'll be time for birthdays and holidays. Yeah, I'm a bad mom.

Heh... I've been watching for a new entry because I noticed you were scarce at St. C's.
You're not a bad mom... Soccer is an involved sport. Mebbe next time you should consider piano. =P~
I guess that one way to look at it is that their activity means you'll be active too. (Making you do less time on the treadmill.)
Good luck with everything!
well, at least it's not hockey. that's the most involved sport i can think of.
and no, it doesn't make you a bad mom. it makes you a normal, not psycho mom.
