@fullcoverbetting - kids in sports do seem to take over your life - but it's also so much fun (usually). You will look back on this time after they are grown and gone from home with great memories. My two sons were 2 years apart and always involved in sports, but just far enough apart that they were always in a different tier - so lots of juggling and even having each of them playing on a different field at the same time. Ryan played basketball all through college and we had a blast driving all over the tri-state area several times a week. I don't think I missed more than a handful of his games in the entire 4 years. Kudos to you for being so involved (team manager!) and good luck with that screamer coach. I hate those too.
