So yesterday morning I got a phone call from my dad. He is coaching my youngest sister’s softball team this summer (she’s 11) and his assistant coach wasn’t going to be able to come to their practice game last night, so he asked if I could come help. I didn’t have anything to do last night, so I went. I worried all day if I was going to actually be any help, it’s been 8 years since I even picked up my glove, and they play fast-pitch now, and I’ve only played slow-pitch. Anyway, I got out there and had so much fun I couldn’t stand it. My legs are killing me this morning (I have a joint disorder that causes pain in my joints if I do too much physical activity), but it was sooo worth it. I got to spend some quality time with my little sister, and it felt good to be able to do something I really enjoy with my dad again. I told him that I would help out anytime I can. With my business going the way it is these days, I’m pretty busy, but I’m sure I can work something out to be able to do this more. I am going to his house this evening to help my sister out with some things she needs work on. She said she likes working with me more than my dad because she doesn’t feel so pressured. I know exactly what she was talking about since he coached me when I was her age. He’s a tough coach, but he’s good.
Do any of you have things like this that you do just for fun? I am actually thinking I may sign up to “oficially” help him out next summer, or maybe even have a team of my own.
I make soap for gifts and for fun. I also love aerobics and somtimes running. Going to the dog park is another fun, relaxing thing I love to do. Movies and sushi dates are super fun with hubby.
