I’m worried that I will need to start a whole new blog and I really haven’t got the time. Or the money for the lawyer to get me off the hook for libel.

Good luck – you are a champion – the world of junior sport has more politics than parliament. But I’ve got faith in you – and remember when it gets bad it will make for some great blog posts!

This year, my daughter’s under-6 team is short on coaches and I have bravely volunteered to coach. I have 3 weeks of cramming and speed reading coaching manuals before the first session. I’m excited and a bit paranoid.

When you’re watching from the sidelines the yelling sort of comes with the territory, no matter how non-competitive you are. I think it’s because you know you can see things that the people on the field can’t….

I played for 9 years. I have no competitive spirit, even though I was on the competitive team. I played defense. I would talk to the offense on the other team and ask them how their day was, how school was, etc, etc. If I had to go back and do it again, I would have started dancing earlier. I danced from 7th grade through 12th grade.

Also, what’s the driving age over there? Then maybe Hippie Child can drive herself to a few games… and you can get your wine back 🙂
