Episode Synopsis

It's happened to me. I didn't want it to, but I'm now the mom in a minivan just driving everywhere all the time. Sometimes it's soccer practice (hello fellow volunteer coaches!), sometimes it's softball practice, and sometimes it is piano and flute lessons. Chauffeuring is not what I envisioned for myself. It's not what I ever thought would be the best thing for my kids, and yet here we are, crazy busy, doing uncomfortable things, and looking for the positive. Life's unpredictability is scary and also exciting. I'm trying to focus on that second part. I'm giving my kids opportunities and doing my best to help them make the most of it. Do you know that I kinda wish I was involved in more than two sports as a kid? I love sports, but I feel most confident on the field when I've had coaching. That is something I keep in mind when my kids start randomly talking about something else they want to try.
