football

I was watching my son Kyle at his football practice tonight and I realized how much fun it actually is to just go hang out and be a football-parent. Not to be confused with a soccer-mom, but kind of the same. I realized just how much of my time and energy went to my work and how many evenings with my family I gave up to do a job.
Honestly, my son cares that I'm at his practice. He cares that I spend time watching him play. Kids equate love with time. They figure that adults give their time to what they love. I'm giving my time to my kids now instead of my work. It's a great feeling.
