Soccer mom status...was this a good idea?

Well, JD is officially signed up for the fall soccer league in Sykesville. The Sykesville-Freedom Opimists Club run the league. I talked to some one at sign up to see how many practices they have and how many games...you know, to see what we're in for. LOL He said JD's age group would be at Eledersburg ES for everything, which is great beacause it's close to us. Practices start in August, two days a week and then switch to one day when games start. Games are on Saturday. Still not sure if this is going to be a good thing or not for several reasons...

1. I envision JD just sitting on the feild refusing to play because he can't do something right (according to him).
2. Better yet, I envision him refusing to go to the first practice
3. He's going to be (blessedly) tired the first few weeks of school...soccer practice might not go so well.
4. Game times on Saturday vary...morning to afternoon. Have we just ruined plans for fall camping and anything else we want to do (rennfest?).

I guess we'll see what happens. Luckily his friends, Max, Savannah and Lindsay are playing this year too and we could put down his friends names on the form and they'd try to get him on a team with one of them.

On top of all this, I realize I'm starting to get a little stressed about school starting. Not like, "Oh my baby is going to school, he's growing up!" stressed. Been there, got him on the school bus for his pre-k program. Stuff like this runs through my mind (and I'll add to the list as I come up with new things running around my head):

• If we do before school care, we have to send breakfast for there and then lunch for school...where is he going to put this stuff and not take a giant lunch box. Since he's coming home right from school, he can't leave a separate bag for breakfast at daycare to be picked up later. Paper bag for breakfast, maybe?
• I hope they don't give alot of homework the first week...okay, month, of school. I'm quite sure JD will pass out early because this new schedule is going to be a shock to him.
• I hope he gives things a try. I'm afraid he's just going to give up at things he's has to try more than once to get. I'm afraid he's going to not answer or participate because he doesn't know an answer or thinks he'll be wrong.
• I hope he's not picked on by other kids and for that matter, doesn't pick on anyone else.
• Does he need to know how to tie shoes? (Not that he has sneakers with laces at the moment, but he'll have to know eventually)
• Is his backpack large enough?
• What the heck is he going to be taking for lunches? Sometimes he'll tell you he wants something and then doesn't want it. Guess he'll learn, if he's hungry he'll eat it.

I should be completely nutso by the time school starts. LOL
