It's terrible.<BR/><BR/>I don't have much advise here though, sorry =(<BR/><BR/>What I can do is tutor you in the art of couponing, thereby freeing up some of your income for any special training sessions for your boys. If you're interested, let me know. I'd be glad to help!!LunaNikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981677669711596784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275878771187870033.post-65748065072373371582008-04-16T19:50:00.000-07:002008-04-16T19:50:00.000-07:00Get some sleep.

I agree that everyone needs to not forget the love of the game!

Clearly THEY are the ones who should be taking stock of their parenting skills and deficiencies and not you and Coach.<BR/><BR/>I echo Burgh on this one. Because of forces you can't control sports is losing some of what draws you to it in the first place. Fun. Take a day and go play together. <BR/><BR/>I have no doubt by the way, that Coach has done a fabulous job with the boys. No doubt.<BR/><BR/>Call me if you need to!<BR/>XOCecily Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833641996572085518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275878771187870033.post-82086798877968682962008-04-16T08:38:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:38:00.000-07:00Oh, honey. *hugs*I can't help but think (from the...Oh, honey. *hugs*<BR/><BR/>I can't help but think (from the outside peeking in and in no way qualified to do so) that maybe everybody is starting to lose focus on why y'all love sports so much to begin with. Because you LOVE sports. I know the world is now filled with over-competitive types who will do anything to see their kid become the next A. Rod, and I would hate to see that become you. Maybe it's time for a day full of just plain old fun and no stress for everyone?<BR/><BR/>I know, easier said than done.<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275878771187870033.post-6645688963556491192008-04-16T08:05:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:05:00.000-07:00Oh sweetie, what a tough spot for you AND for Coac...Oh sweetie, what a tough spot for you AND for Coach.

I think copious amounts of sleep might be a start, just for handling all of this, not making it better. Before your body takes you down with the flu or something.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it IS hard to watch a teen boy fall apart. With my teen daughter I expect it. And I just watch, sometimes hug. Fortunately my boy doesn't mind a long hug. His new coach sucks, BTW.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.com
