Guess what? Football season is over for the high school and after a short week break we are full into wrestling. I had forgotten how much time is taken up with these activities. Rides to and from practice, day long meets and clinics. It seems to be never ending.
Every time I ask, "Where's Cole" the answer is wrestling, he is always at wrestling. Thanksgiving weekend when everyone is supposed to be shopping there is a Saturday mandatory practice.
Now I do understand how important extra curricular activities are to the high schooler and when I was raising the first batch of kids it was band, baseball, Demolay, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and other clubs, so this should not have come as a surprise to me when the boys became involved.
I know I will survive wrestling but I also know at the end of the season it will be all about Track. Then immediately summer football and it starts all over. Maybe it is time to give in and let him start work on his driver's license.
The down side to that is I will be stranded without a car and who (in my position) can afford another car with the attendant expenses of gas, insurance, maintenance. How do we deal with all of this?
In all honesty…..we just deal. There is no way I would ever deny them their activities but somedays I would just love to curl up in my pi's and let them find out what it would be like without Gran and Aunt Amy as their personal chauffeurs.
