I’m a soccer mom.

November 18, 2023

I have spent the past few weeks bemoaning the hours I spend in the car, driving in circles around our local landscape. Our kids play on three different soccer teams. Plus Penny is the number one fan for her high school’s team. It’s a lot.

I complain about it. I also kind of love it.

What are the things that you complain about and love at the same time?
