In Which My Bubble Is Burst

I’ve taken over coaching #4’s soccer team.  Their coach had something come up and I’m the only parent willing to take it over.  When push comes to shove….well, look at the title of the blog. 

I played soccer for years and was a pretty good player.  We lost the first game with me as coach 14-2. 

Today was my first practice as the boss.  I had a game plan.  I was prepared.  Heck, I’ve even lost 8 pounds and have been running.  Ready as ready can be.

The girls got to practice and ran and hugged me.  There’s nothing sweeter than 5 year old girls.  Then one of them buried her face in my stomach and blew a raspberry on my belly fat.  She looked up at me with an angelic face and said, “I love your baby belly.  When will it be borned?”

Yeah.  I was feeling hot because I lost 8 pounds, then a little person came along and reminded me that I still have 20 something to go.
