I drink wine and coffee. I am 56 years old woman. I have 2 adult children. They used to play sports but did not pay attention. I do not own a car.  I am a housekeeper. I admire artists because I am bad at art. I use to paint. I do not like art. I might start photographing things. I live near street art. I think the street art near me is gorgeous. I have not heard from my children. I did not try calling my children.
I like wine and coffee. I coach little league. I coach kids from 6 to 11. I drive a mini van. I go to photography school. I don't think photography and painting are alike. I have a husband and 5 sons. We take turns watching the kids. My sons enjoy sports and video games. My sons are on sports teams. My older sons play baseball. I organize their team practices. I always carry my camera with me. I enjoy photographing nature. I fell and broke my camera. I own a telephoto lens.  I purchased insurance from my camera.I want to take photos of an eagles nest.
How did your sons baseball practice go?  More organized this time? A little bit, but not much better. I think I might be a terrible coach Don't be too hard on yourself.  Getting kids that age to focus can be really difficult.  You'll figure it out. I appreciate the optimism, I thought organizing my sons practices would help me coach little league, but its not working like I thought I imagine coaching takes a lot of patience.  I know when my boys were young and in sports they drove their coaches crazy.   Do you remember how their coaches dealt with it or did they just deal with it? The best coach they have had, just broke things down into the simplest possible parts, then got them to focus on what part at a time.  One time I remember they spent the whole practice bunting.  Other coaches just yelled a lot, which didn't help. I try not to yell, but sometimes I get frustrated and it seems like that is the only thing that they respond to If you hear them groaning, it probably means you are doing something right.  If they are groaning, it means you have got their attention.  The year they had that coach they won the league championship on a suicide bunt! What? No way! What a team way to win. Your kids winning the championship must have been so fun. I can only imagine what it is like to win as a coach I'm sure you'll get the chance to find out!  You care about coaching, and that's the most important thing.   Thanks, talking to you has really helped. I'm ready to get back out there tomorrow and do my best for the kids
