Hi guys. I dont have photos for you because Im blogging on DC's hp PC. I love this thing! its super fast - way faster than my laptop. I can surf at lightning speed!!!!
So want to touch base with you on DC's current assignment. The Wyoming call was cancelled and reassigned days later to the Yreka, CA area in Siskiyou County in Northern Cali. The crew drove all the way, stopping over in Las Vegas for a night. Then they stopped at the Cabela's Store in Reno for supplies! *wink wink* As of this evening they are RON (resting over night) in Susanville, CA. I told DC that Ken Shamrock lives there, FYI: population density is 13,000. Way less than Holbrook, Arizona. I had no clue who K, Shamrock was - but knowing my hubby - instantly he replies- uh yea! he a UFC fighter not to mention a WWE wrestler. Doh! Yea? like Im gonna know that. BTW I got that tidbit from wikipedia online. LOL
So my first practice with the 4 and 5 yr olds went absolutely chaotic. They didnt listen for nothin'. They were completely out of it. Running all over the field, chasing the ball well past the boundaries. At one pt I just stood there watching to see how far they would go. By the time I caught up to them - yelling all the while to stop - two to three minutes had passed and I was outta breathe. LOL So Ive been doing my hmwork this week. I spent most of my evening at the soccer complex watching other U6 coaches corral their preschoolers. Hrs later and many bug bites later I think I have a plan. Maybe tomorrow at openfield jamboree I can pick up more pointers.
Practice on MOndays - my temporary asst coach (DC) has gone wilderness hicking in Cali and Im ALL Alone to face yet another energy draining soccer practice! Ugh! Funny thing did I tell you guys that the first practice on july 28th I was saved by the rain. During coaches training we were told to have practice atleast 60 mins.
As practice went on - I continued to eyeball my watch. Praying 3/4 of the hr had already passed. On half past, I began to struggle and panic on activities because quickly I was losing them. At this pt they had stopped listening to me. THEN! a huge cloud burst poured down on us with strong wind gusts. I helplessly stumbled toward my bags and at the top of my lungs yelled out, "PRACTICE OVER!" throwing my neatly arranged and crafted gift bags full of treats to the team members - hoping they'd like me even if I was a terrible coach - just because Im the coach that gives'em junk food! Awhaw! Thats the way to their hearts.
When preparing the treat bags I found a similarity to the movie,"A League of Their Own" with tom Hanks. DC said something about holy cow! treats. Their there to play soccer not eat treats. then he so cleverly said, "Treats - theres no TREATS in soccer"! HAh. Hah. HAh. Ur so funny hunny.
So alot has been ongoing and if any of you havent received a return call from me I apologize. Ive been super busy and tired with all this weeks errands. Trying to change your name after being married isnt so easy. before getting married - if you ever have a chance to get one of those packages that contains forms on changing your name- TAKE IT! Its usually a small fee for the package but its a great resource to start with. Wish I hadnt been so cheap. Had I sent all the info away in one packet - I would have this headache. I need finger prints for the School District. trying to make a professional resume - for which ive never done!!! Trying to ask people for references. By the way! Guys I need references for my applications so if I ask please help me out. PLEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Preschool registration - what a headache. Wish someone told me to think about these things at 2.5 yr old. ALL the schools in the town are FULL and now we have to Pay AGAIN for private preschool. Ugh!
So this new keyboard is ticking me off - Im not familiar with it and I keep deleting my paragraphs. getting sick of retyping what I just did. I will blog again later. FYI: stampin up is having their 20 yr anniversary convention in salt lake as you read. Boo hoo! Wish I could have gone but the fee for guests was $400. WTH!!! yea like Im gonna blow that on rubber stamps..... oh wait I did and more while demonstrating stampin up as a demo. Doh! take care my peeps. Holla! LOL too funny just wanted to do that. *still laughing*
