terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Well, okay, it wasn't too bad. But I am still upset over the whole soccer thing. I figure most people reading this would think--What is the big deal, seriously? Well, it actually is a big deal to us for a few reasons.
First-we just moved back to Texas and Nate is seriously having a rough time. He's bored most of the time, as all his friends live thirty minutes away. He hasn't made any friends at church yet (neither have I...but that is another post...only four weeks of attending church and barely anyone has talked to us...)
Second-Nate is not enrolled in preschool. We just can't afford it right now. I'm still looking for somewhere that might let him come for free, if they even have space available. He spends three days a week with me at the YMCA childcare which he says "is for babies because there are only babies there and they have baby toys." He hates it and I have to drag him there M-W-F.
Third-I was looking forward to the fact that I got to enroll him for less than half price because I'm an employee. It was going to be only $20 for him to play the season of soccer. Cheap fun.
Fourth-He's been talking about playing soccer for weeks. I kept reminding him that he had it to look forward to. It even became a bribe of sorts to get him outside to play..."Go practice kicking the soccer ball so you'll be really good at it when soccer season starts."
Oh well.
It also wasn't the best day because I had to do something really brave that I've been putting off for almost six years. I'm not kidding. And you thought YOU were a procrastinator! Let's just say, it's going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of effort and maybe even some self-introspection. Oh, dear.
But the day ended okay...I was able to go to dinner with some old friends. They were ladies I worked with at the YMCA when we lived in Dallas before. It was really nice to get together and just be an adult. Plus the food was yummy. And the vino flowed like wine (for them) so the conversation got funnier and funnier as the hours rolled on. I love my friends.

I am so sorry that your day was no fun. I am now very curious what you've been putting off!
sorry you had such a bad day. My curiosity is also peaked...
Man, I bummed for Nate. Poor little guy, that's not fun at all. You should sue! :)
And you can't post that and then not tell us what you're putting off, LOL. I'm going to venture a guess -- dentistry?? :D Hahahaha, if I'm right I win a prize, right?
Good guess. But no, it's not dental work (although THAT is on the to-do list too once Adam's insurance starts)
Keep guessing, or call me if you really want to know.
Julie, you even baby-sat for me while I went! I'll tell you all about it later ;)
I feel so bad for Nate.....But I am so proud of you for being "That Mom". It is so hard and it can be embarassing, but it is right.
I figured I might have,but make it a point not to ask. I figure if/when you want to tell you will. love ya!
we are out of town this week. lets get together the next week. Zach had a great time with Nate.
Sorry about the crappy day. I am sad for poor Natey!!!
And I am curious what you have been putting off for so long too!!!
