This is Liam's first season of tackle football. Practice/conditioning has been going on since May. I could see the difference between this league and the flag leagues right away. This is some serious business. When it was just conditioning, practices were 2 hrs 3 nights a week. Which was already too much for me. Joe has always been Liam's head coach so I never really had to go to practices before. And I liked it that way. 6 hours a week sitting at a football field was just ridiculous and torturous to me. On Monday, they started full pads practice. Now practice is 2 1/2 hours 5 nights a week! 12 1/2 freaking hours a WEEK just sitting doing nothing at the field. OMG. This is killing me. I get home from picking the kids up at almost 5:30, then we have to be at the field by 6. No time for a decent dinner. No time to relax after a long day at work/summer camp. When we get home at close to 9 pm, kids have to eat, shower, brush teeth, relax. Our new bedtime is now 10pm. Which I don't like at all. Ugh. Don't even get me started on what goes through my mind when some kid much bigger than Liam completely flattens him on the field. I almost started crying last night :( First game is in 2 weeks. He is awful cute in his pads though...
