I can’t believe it’s been almost a month that I’ve blogged. Well, I guess it has been a month.
This month has been consumed with softball and baseball.
As I’ve mentioned both Aaron and I are coaching, and I did not realize how much time this would take. Every day the question arises, “Who has the kids?”
Don’t get me wrong, I love coaching. And it’s nice to do something that’s so natural, and just get back into it. The girls have made it both enjoyable and stressful. However, no matter how much fun I am having, there is an amount of guilt I have. It has always been our dream to both coach, and have our kids there with us. I’m sure there will be a time where that may happen, but until it does make me feel sad I’m not there with my babies.
This week alone we’ve played 10 games in 7 days. Aaron went 3-1, I went 2-4. “How do we do it?” This is a question I get quite often. My answer is quite simple. “I don’t know.” A lot of patience, time, and energy, I guess. Not a lot of late nights, as I’m usually in bed by 10.
My entire family has always set the example of being there for one another. Yes, we’re there for every occasion – weddings, birthdays, bbqs, etc. But if there is one thing we’re known for, is being there for one another. My family has been nothing short of amazing these past few weeks. They’ve come up for a couple of weekends. They’ve met us half way to do a kid exchange. They’ve bent over backward to help us fulfill our coaching obligations. I didn’t know that at 32 my parents would still be coming to my rescue, but we couldn’t be more thankful. The kids view this as a vacation. Each night they go to bed watching Disney movies, and in the morning it’s cookies with Gampy and Grandpa Ponce. They’ve gone to Disneyland, the LB Aquarium with Tia Kristi and Bear. As I write this, I’m realizing they aren’t missing us at all!
As I know my family reads this but doesn’t ever comment….. Thank you for helping us and loving all of us SO much!
