Step 1 ... my name is pickledad, I am a sports junkie and addict
Step 2 ... I am more passionate about dd's sports than she is ... and she is VERY passionate
Beyond those baby steps, dd plays OF for Sapphires 14u, and is learning to ignore my rants and become her own young lady, student, and athlete ... a good thing. I am successfully driving towards becoming her own person. I will lure her back to be "friends" though in a few years with money and car keys ...
Other than that, I keep the book, do what picklemom tells me to do (mostly :
), and enjoy my 4 kids immensely (one of which is in uniform on the other side of the earth right now, hooah).
