Well I know it has been awhile since I last posted. And I know it has been tough on all of you. The thing is right now with the lack of major cash flow life has been a little boring for me. Except when the weekend comes then things get a little more interesting.
I am Rose's soccer coach and not only Rose's coach but 10 other kids that are all under the age of 6. "Soccer" at this age should be call something like Kick and Chase. Most leagues at this age keep their teams smaller in numbers, but not ours. We have a really good team though. They are a positive group of kids. The team really gets along well although they are a very diverse group.
I have a set of paternal twin girls and a set of brothers. I have five 5 year olds, five 4 year olds, and Rose who won't be 4 until November. And technically she should never been aloud to play this year but it is amazing what happens when a father volunteers to coach. As you can imagine the kids don't have the greatest attention span. The games last about a half hour with periods that last about 8 minutes.
The periods maybe 8 minutes but most of the kids are rarely on the field that long. I will be following the game and looking for all my players and will find some of them on the sidelines with their parent(s). Its ok because usually that is the younger kids any ways. The older kids can take over games, which I love since we are undefeated through 4 games(2-0-2). Our last game was the first time we actually allowed a goal.
Another big thing with the soccer is that Mrs. Jo has to watch Robert and AnneMarie, by herself. Robert wants to be on the field so much that he is restricted to the stroller. Which as you guessed a 2 year old in a stroller for any extended period is not good thing. Thats why I love Mrs. Jo because she puts up with him so I can focus on my team. She really likes it when others show up to support Rose so that maybe they can watch Robert as well. And yes that is a hint to all of you who have yet come to see Rose in action. LOL!! Well I need to get some rest before tomorrow's big game.
So remeber this, "Stink rises and shit falls!!"

Papa dont't preach
OK,yes, I am a devote Christian, but don't think I am going to push my beliefs on you. There are some out there who believe the way to make people believe in something is shove it down their throats. Not me!! I believe that if you lead my example the others will follow.
Right now I am working with a fellow Christian. He does not have the same belief as me on this view. He thinks he needs to tell everyone how to live their own lives. Now in the construction world you run into A LOT of guys who don't live the best of lives. They drink daily, do drugs, and so on. Yes they should live a better life especially the ones who have children at home. But they are grown men and who am I to TELL them how to live. My co-worker though feels the need to be in everyones business. We will call him Tim. Tim wants to tell these guys to clean up their act. Tim keeps telling them to go to church. Tim keeps tell them if they going to keep living their lives this way they will not be saved.
Tim shut up!! Stop preaching!! Stop throwing your religion in others face!!
Yes I believe what he is saying, but grown men don't like to be told what to do. And when you push something you usually get a greater resistance. That is why I like to just lead them to my beliefs by showing a good example for them. I am not saying I am perfect in any way and that I live the perfect Christian life by any means. I am still working on being a better Christian. Everyone that knows me knows that I still have some things to work on. Especially swearing!! For some reason when I doing this though I stop myself. That is because I think before I type. I have a really hard time thinking before I speak!
I also have been raised that as long as you believe in something that leads you to live a good moral life, that you are doing it right! I would like to see more people in my life in some form of organized religion. If you are true believer in whatever your religion then why not take time out to show it. But am I going to tell you have to go NO! I don't care if you sit at home and watch on TV for all I care just take some time out and set it aside for you to show yyour devotion to your beliefs.
