Things I wish I could say right now:
“I cannot trust you. You have proven over and over again that you only care about yourself. When any opportunity to humiliate me presents itself, you jump on it without thought. Your words TO me and ABOUT me continue to be hurtful and demeaning. I no longer wish to speak to you or acknowledge you…

Daily Prompt 8/30/23
There’s a few options I can think of easily like yes, sorry, and some choice words that I can’t seem to shake unless I’m around certain people and I want to be really careful. I think I often agree to things I don’t want to do because it’s hard to say no sometimes. It’s definitely…

It’s been way too long
I realized a few days ago that I was approaching two weeks of not blogging at all. It wasn’t an intentional break, more of a need to retreat inside myself and keep my boundaries up with the squatter. Thankfully the squatter departed on Sunday for training and is out of the area for the next…

My kid got me sick
In fact, he infected all but one of the current 7 members of the household. Boy #2 infected us and Boy #3 is the only one who hasn’t gotten sick at all. Girl was the first one to go down with a bad sore throat. Then my wife, the Ex, and I all went down…

Soccer Starts Now
Today is our first soccer practice. Naturally it’s cold after being comfortable and even hot the past two weeks or so. It’s so annoying. Our first game on Saturday is due to be a rainy one if the weather forecast holds up. How annoying! I don’t need it to be hot or anything, just a…

Soccer Roster
I got my roster last night for the soccer team I coach. I have eight of the same kids, and it seems like four aren’t playing with this league this season. One was assigned somewhere else, but I’m not sure if she requested to be on a team with a friend. Of the eight returnees,…

Take that…
Today my younger soccer team won their last game. Our final record is 7-1. Haha Gramps…I don’t need no stinking book to coach a very successful recreational league soccer team, full of 3rd and 4th graders. I wasn’t there, but I emailed my stand-in coach to get the information. Some of the kids made a…

Sweet Moments
This past Saturday was week 6 of 8 of the soccer season. It was a good weekend. Both of my teams played amazing games. My younger team of third and fourth graders (8-9 year olds) won their fifth game of the season, 6-0. We had to actually pull players off to give them an advantage…

Why is it so hard to be nice?
It is again soccer Saturday. Both teams played well. My younger team won after being down three goals. Their final score was 8-6. It was probably one of the best all around games they’ve played. I have three goalies, with one playing goalie more than the other two. Last season he got really anxious and…

Creativity
I have always wanted to be an artist who can draw. I can’t draw. For a long time I wanted to be able to sing. I can’t sing. I can read music and play instruments, but I can’t sing. I can write. I enjoy painting that is more abstract. I wasn’t good with clay. I…
