Mini Work Week Round 2

Happy Friday everyone!  I could not be happier that I am not coaching volleyball this year.  Even though I helped with tryouts the past 2 days, I got to sleep in today & do whatever rather than having to be at the high school between 6:30-7 this morning for practice, followed by a second round of practice, followed by a parent meeting, followed by an alumni game.  Instead I got to sleep until 6:30 & do whatever I want... well until I go to softball camp tonight.  Even that isn't required though since it's for the hs girls & as a coach I can only watch since we aren't in season.  Linking up with the amazing Andrea & Amanda.

What I was up to

Monday: Day 1 of softball camp!  For 2.5 hours I helped 5th-8th graders with their softball skills.  At one point we finally got the rain I was begging for but it was towards the end of camp & so we just played it out in the pouring rain.  It actually felt pretty great.  That of course meant that I then went to Chipotle, & then a 3 hour all district coaches meeting, looking like a dirty wet dog.  When I finally got home that evening Nash-o & I kept watching Friday Night Lights.  Where is my Coach Taylor/Tim Riggins combo of a man??

Tuesday: Day 2 of camp!  Also my last day of camp.  Luckily I had nothing going on afterwards so once I was home I was home.  I decided to do all of my food prep that day.  I cooked up some taco meat for taco backed potatoes, some eggs & sausage for breakfast burritos, & some shrimp for salads.  I need so desperately to get back in the habit of not only food prep, but healthier food prep.

Wednesday: Even though there was still softball camp, because I had already committed to volleyball tryouts I did those instead.  7 hours of volleyball tryouts.  We did get a nice size break in between the two sessions so me and a couple of other coaches went to Wing Bucket for lunch & then just laid in the shade outside of the school enjoying the breeze.  I seriously love Wing Bucket by the way.  If you live in the DFW area & like wings you need to go.  I was so exhausted that I went to bed a little before 8.  However, the jalapenos from my taco potato hit me somewhere around 10 or 11 & then I was up until midnightish with awful heartburn.  The rest of the night I was up on & off getting pretty much no sleep.  So much for going to bed early...

Thursday: Another 6 hours of volleyball tryouts!  Luckily this year I didn't have to be a part of the hiding after the letters were handed out to the girls.  At the end of tryouts every girl gets a letter in a sealed envelope with their name on it.  They are then forced out of the building before they can open it & then not allowed back inside.  Last year we wound up hiding for probably close to an hour & some parent still managed to find their way into the building & back into the coaches office to try to get the head coach to change his mind...

Random Thoughts & Things

-Students go back to school on the 20th & they got their schedules this week.  Teachers however still have no idea what their schedules are.  I find it a little backwards that schedules are made & students know but we don't...  I just want to know!  I'm fairly certain I'm teaching 2 world history classes & 2 economics classes but I want to know for sure & I want to know what periods!

-Today is my daddy's birthday!

-30 is going to be the year my body falls apart I'm pretty sure.  Between the 16 hours of volleyball camp last week and the 13 hours of  volleyball tryouts & 10 hours of softball camp this week, my body is so creaky!  I need a massage... and maybe a chiropractor.

-Why do guys nowadays think that an acceptable first "date" is inviting someone over to watch a movie/tv & just hang out.  Boy no.  I don't need something fancy but if you think a)I'm going to the place you live before I meet you & b)that your lack of effort & creativity are good enough you are out of your damn mind.
