Okay....

How do ya'll do it? I think i need to shorten my things to do list during the week. We decided not to continue the soccer team for Enzo :(. The team parents were very aggressive and not very positive. I just did not feel it was right for Enzo to be around people like that. I kept feeling anxious everytime it was time to go to practice or games. So, we decided to call it quits. It is crazy how some people can act. There was one parent who yelled at the VOLUNTEER coach about how he coaches and that she felt he was leaving her little boy out of the practices and games. Well, first of all he is a VOLUNTEER coach and does not need to do this and if she thinks that her son is such a superstar---she needs to have him in a professional league. I have never had this experience with Ales' soccer teams. I guess we have always lucked out. :)
Moving on...
School has been great. Ales made an A+ on his first spelling test . He had practiced hard all week and is very proud of himself. We have been so happy with the school since moving from St. Mary's Hall. His teacher is great and the campus is beautiful.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to handle two kids doing sports or other activities at the same time? Do both of ya'll(parents) attend each event together or does one parent go to one thing and the other parent does the other? I hope that makes sense. I have not found a good rhythm to do this.
Well, i have enjoyed reading ya'lls blogs and suggestions for books. Currently i am reading a autobiography, Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is a good book. I have not gotten to the Monica Lewinsky issue, but i do not think she gives as much detail as the public wants. I think she talks more about how she dealt with it and moved on. Well, i guess i will see. It was nice to talk to ya'll. We have to do this more often.

Take care,

i usually put my kids on the same soccer team but in your case with them being a little farther apart, i would take turns taking them. you take ales one day and let your hubby take enzo and then switch.

i'm a big believer in quality family time so we only let the kids play one sport per semester. they usually pick soccer :)

Wow, you have one busy schedule!

And um, what's with the parents on the soccer team?

I've been meaning to read Hiliary Clinton's book. Let me know how it goes.
