Officially a Soccer Mom

As Fall slowly slips into the air I took Mason to his first soccer practice. The weather was cloudy but still warm out and I, along with a multitude of other over zealous parents following their small children around, try to get Mason to follow the drills and make the goals. But mainly we just kicked the ball and visited with all the doggies that came to watch.


He may not be the next Beckham but he sure is my favorite soccer player.

September

Listening: to the sounds of the power sprayer in the warehouse....and easy listening radio.

Watching: Waiting patiently for "The Office" to start.....I know Jim will propose!!!

Reading: "Raising our Children, Raising Ourselves" by Naomi, Ph.D. Aldort. I am doing a little over the phone book club with my sister who lives in Connecticut.

Making: A hemp band for my mother's new cowboy hat. Putting together Iron-On Sponsor Kits for dirt bikers.

Eating: Lunch, consisting of a half a turkey sandwich, pretzels, grapes, a banana and water. Yum Ü

Wanting: Summer to last a little longer and my mother to stop smoking.

Thinking: About the book I am reading. It says that you need to have one on one time with each child you have. This helps them to build self-esteem and confidence in them selves. I am just thinking about how much one on one time I got to have with my single mother growing up and if it had any effect on my needy characteristics as an adult.
