And so it begins

My little girl has her first organized sporting event tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.

Soccer.

I knew that the time was a possibility and the only drawback is that I need to leave at 7:00 for the 2 hr drive to go watch it and my weekends will be cut short by a day for the next few months.

Ex and I discussed it when she expressed an interest, so the rule is that she needs to finish the season if she doesnt like it. Thats all. Don't have to play next year, just finish out the 6 weekends.

It just makes more sense that I miss a day on 3 visits because of that drive. The kids will come back with me on my saturdays, but i'm not going to tell her "No, that's daddy's day". I miss a few overnights, if she likes it, we will encourage more athletics that she may be interested in. (she gets those genes from me, hehehe). And I will be at every one of them.

I also get to meet the boyfriend tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. If anything, to get it that much more behind me. I've been told he is nervous. Theres no reason for it. He made the move that he knew would require me meeting him; he's moving in with Ex and my kids, and I think its next weekend while I have them.

Delores, if you are reading this, congratulations, again. I am VERY happy for you :)
I won't steal your thunder
