Ok... am I just the worst mother in the world? I always feel really inferior and kinda crummy when all my baseball/football/basketball etc parent friends get super excited about whichever season is current.
"OH SOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT BASEBALL PRACTICE TONIGHT!!! WHOO HOO!!! GO BLAHBLAH!"
Don't get me wrong... I want my kid to be involved in all this stuff and I love how excited he and the other kids get but PRACTICE? Are these parents really super excited to spend 2 hours of their evening after a long work day sitting at the field watching a bunch of kids play baseball? I get that it's good for the kids and that they are benefiting in more ways than one from sports and teamsmanship and blah blah blah but I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't feel all the excitment. I mean, some of these parents aren't thinking "Damn, I could be at the grocery store..." or "Man, I could be starting dinner right now" or "Damn... I'm missing 30 Rock". Is it just me?
I wish I could be all gung ho and stuff but damn... I'm tired! I've been up since 4:45 AM and these 8 PM start times kinda suck!
Now I'm not saying that I'm the only one who's tired and that a lot of people don't do a lot more than I do to make the season go smoothly and I really do appreciate it I just want ONE PERSON to say "Damn! Practice... ah crap...." Is that asking too much?
