Not quite a soccer mom

I may or may not have mentioned my biggest goal in life. The one thing I long to do, or, well, be. I want to be a soccer mom!

Ok, now by soccer mom I don't actually mean I want my kids to play soccer. If they want to great, but it's way more than that. I want to be a minivan driving, hamburger helper cooking, president of the PTA full-fledged soccer mom!

I want it all. The house in the subdivision (though a quiet neighborhood will certainly do), the minivan full of kids, the cute aprons, the happy husband, the busy schedules and the manicured nails....I WANT IT!!

And here is the good news: I am well on my way :) I just got home from tball practice with weelassie. Me and the moms talked about snacks and practice and making signs for the float in the parade and all of that stuff that soccer moms talk about!

Weelassie is also in ballet. And while there isn't as much for me to do there, it does add to the whole "soccer mom" feel. She starts Pre-k this fall and I plan on signing her up for cheerleading, and of course I'll be at every PTA meeting :)

Now, please don't get me wrong, if at any moment she doesn't enjoy all of it, she can quit. I am not about to force anything on her for my own "reward" that just wouldn't be "soccer mom-ish" at all. After all, the cardinal rule of "soccer mom-dom" is "The kids are always first".

Ok, I'll be honest, I have no idea what the soccer mom "rules" are, but that is what this soccer mom is all about!!

So yes, technically I am a ballet/tball mom, but that is close enough for me!! Now where is my apron??
