Awesome...congrats!

 

[MetsFan]

Thanks everyone! Yeah, we got discharged last night so we're at home now. Unfortunately, I'm already having to do some work since the other engineer I work with is swamped. I hope it's just this one request.

had meet the teacher last night for Minisnick. Same Pre-K teacher but different aide. He was so excited to see his teacher he ran up to her and gave her a big hug. The aide from last year got a big hug too. He starts tomorrow.

Today's mini-ble1's 5th birthday. Where the heck did the time go? We went to his kindergarten meet the teacher last night and he starts school on Monday. I can't believe that he's already that old. It seems like yesterday that I was holding him in the hospital for the first time.

^ Crazy! Congrats getting through the preschool years, ble. Is the Mrs. already crying and contemplating having another baby?

My 2 year old this morning: "Mommy, we're going to watch a movie about legal shits."

Me: "About what?"
Baby YMZ: "Legal shits."

Me: "Daddy?"
Mr. YMZ: "She's saying 'Lilo and Stitch'."

 

[Ble_PE]

^No crying and definitely no baby!! She's actually excited that he's getting ready to start school although I'm sure it's going to hit her once he's actually going. I think it helps mini-ble1's attitude and overall well-being to be in a structured environment like school and I think that he's going to do well. I'm sure we'll have our share of bumps though.

Our little ones are starting to repeat too much of what we say so we're having to be much more careful around them. They already say what the hell fairly regularly and mini-ble1 said the shit word this weekend after mrs. ble said it for some reason.

minisnick started today. he also likes the structured enviornment better than daycare. so we shall see how the first day goes. is your kindergarten half day or all day?

 

[Ble_PE]

All day. I believe the hours are 7:45-2:30, but I'm not entirely sure on the end time.

so I got my soccer roster today...two of the kids parents emails have the word soccer in them. Is that a bad sign that there expectation are going to be higher than what I can provide? for example one is [email protected]

 

[FLBuff PE]

I think you just found your two asistant coaches. And you like to delegate practices to them. Just show up for the games, and take all the credit. You know, like a manager.

Yup, you're screwed.

They can kiss your ass if they think they know more than you and won't coach.

 

[Road Guy]

I'm sure they will be like most parents of kids I have coached in the past "oh were too busy, we travel, we have another kid, etc" to help out. normally 80% of parents on any team I have ever coached just show up to criticize your decisions!

 

[Road Guy]

--- okay I'll have a little better attitude than that! but yes Im going to go ahead and send them a special email to them since they have that in there name (after I look them up on facebook first)

What's the age group?

 

[Road Guy]

11 year olds...

only thing I am hoping, is that by the time my other kids got to this age, the kids whose parents thought they should be playing travel ball or some other higher level have usually moved on. this is just rec ball..

actually the best (most fun) coaching season I had is my oldest last year of baseball, same age, we were always short a player, no one had to sit out an inning the whole season, kids new if they couldn't pitch or handle first base, most of them just played like they were playing in someone's backyard..

 

[Road Guy]

I also coached 8U baseball - 11U + softball many years, while overall I enjoyed it.. I admit the thing I hated the most was making the batting order and the position chart. I never could make the same kid bat last every game ,and I couldn't make the same kids sit out every game like most coaches do..

usually in rec I would be very fair about field time during the regular season and then at the end of the season tournaments I would be the asshole coach and mainly play the good players.

I take the kid to football practice tonight, since my husband is at a bachelor party. He went in depth about how to tie the football pants.

I plan on telling the coach how to coach tonight, since I have all this experience watching the NFL.

Taking the kiddos to the dirty jerz shore. Must be mindful of the hypodermic needles and broken crack pipes in the sand
