I got to go to the coaches meeting tonight. Hubby is taking on the task of coaching two soccer teams. Not one, two. He had class tonight, so I got to hang out with all of the MEN at the coaches meeting. My kids went along to the meeting. I told my daughter to look around the room. I pointed out that there were way too many men and not enough women. I reminded her that she'd be a great coach and that I'd like to see her in this room again someday, as a coach.

Since hubby had class, I got to play coach for the night. Apparently I'm a control freak -- I LOVED the power. I got to sign up for picture night (picking 7:00 and 7:15 for our team times so that working mom's could still manage to get the darlings there looking decent -- thank you very much!). I also picked Wednesday since I will be having class Monday and Tuesday night this semester.

I was pretty much drunk with power. FINALLY a picture night I'll be able to attend and deal with! No more panic at the work place or cringing at the thought of pictures during the night class. I WILL BE THERE. There is MUCH to be said for being in the driver seat.

Sure, we have to give up our lives to coach two teams, but I got to pick picture dates!!!!! Granted, all of this planning and preparation means pictures WILL suck this year. Every time I plan it equals doom. I accept this...

It will take everything I have not to control this whole deal. Hubby is not a paperwork dude. I've now got his email password and he has agreed to name me as assistant coach "in charge of the details." This is better than a corner office! I'll track who will be there, and will prep the rosters for him. I get to plan the snack schedule too. I know you are thinking I need a life. I need help, don't I????
