It does not get easier with older kids. Last night I missed my 4th grade daughters basketball game and my 7th grade daughters basketball game. Tonight i will miss my Jrs. Orchestra concert and my 7th graders basketball game. Tomorrow I will miss my 7th graders basketball game. As your kids get older they will become involved in more and more activities which you will want to attend. I officiate basketball only. All of January and half of February I will call 3 to 5 days a week. I miss a lot of family activities during that time. I did take a week off to attend the inaugural parade in Washington DC to see my high school daughter march. Take time with your family at every opportunity and have the good fortune to have loving and understanding spouse and children.
