I was asked to coach Scout's soccer team this week. I said yes but I am apprehensive. I don't know the first thing about soccer or about coaching. The more I think about it the more stressed out about it I get. I am not the make a decision without consulting everyone else first type, but it's up to me to chose where and when and how long practices are. With us being the "new" ones on the team I worry about everyone else being annoyed because I am not doing it the same way they did it last time. On the other hand I think that they can't really complain because all of them had a chance to sign up to be the coach before I did and none of them wanted to. So I am just flying by the seat of my pants and hoping it will all work out in the end.

On the other hand I am really excited. I remember having my mom as a coach when I was little and I want my girls to have that experience. I want my kids to remember me being actively a part of their childhood and look forward to this as a bonding experience.

Scout is so excited to be on a soccer team. When we got her uniform she immediately tried it on and wanted to wear it everywhere, saying it was her "library uniform" so it would be ok to wear it there. I hope that she ends up really liking it because she needs something that gets her up and moving instead of just sitting all day- on the computer, playing video games, watching t.v. and reading.
