On the wane....

When you work multiple sports you are really trying to pace yourself so that you do not go crazy or drive the people you live with crazy because you are always gone.

My wife fixed that problem rather quickly after my son was born when she told me to "pick one and live with it."

JRutledge, you just hit the nail on the head. Limit the type of ball. I like that, and until my wife put her foot down a few years ago, I couldn't see the forest for the trees. There is nothing like doing a football or baseball game, but doing it in a crappy setting just deflates it all.

I am not married but I live with my girlfriend. And I would not tolerate that kind of choice. The girlfriend I have now knew me as an official. If you have to give up things you love, why are you married?

Considering what I have read here, if you (not you but anyone this would apply to) stop working games every single night, maybe you would have time for your family. I do not work a 100 basketball games in a season. How in the hell do you work 100 football games?

Peace

I would never have to be subjected to that choice, either. My wife has said, "You were an official before we met."
