It’s going to be a long and interesting week.
Our house guest arrived yesterday afternoon. He is a nice
guy, but incredibly quiet which is a little awkward. Of course, he could have
also just been tired. He had been traveling for a bit which would wipe anyone
out. Hopefully it is all a little more comfortable over the next couple of
days.
Tomorrow is Dax’s birthday, which means that I would like to
take cupcakes to kids at his camp. I am hoping to get the count of kids when I
go today. I am considering even surprising him with balloons when I show up. I
think he would love all of that. The coach mentioned something about trying to
see a Galaxy game tomorrow night, which if that worked out would be super fun.
Sadly, when I looked online this morning it looked as though the game was
already sold out and from what it sounded like, we would need to get tickets
(it wasn’t like he just had some) so it doesn’t look like that will happen. It
means instead we will be going to his restaurant of choice, which is apparently
Hometown Buffet.
The weekend was once again jam packed. Friday night we were
at the Zagala’s much of the evening working on the coaches binders. It was
actually pretty fun despite being hectic. I wish I could say the same about the
following morning. The coaches meeting where teams are handed out seemed slightly
off and even though I felt I brought my A-Game, a handful of volunteers didn’t
seem to be nearly as chipper as I felt they should be. I am going to just chalk
it up to a bad day for everyone, but I am keeping an eye on it. I worry we portrayed
our region as very angry in some ways when really, we should have been really
chipper about all these people taking time to coach a team. In addition to
that, once again there were those “secrets” that didn’t need to be which made
me feel like an undervalued volunteer. Even in all of the best days of doing
what I do, I am once again wondering if perhaps I should start looking for a
replacement so that I can step back and work on only the social media aspects.
We will see.
Happy happened when Costco still had the shelf I wanted!
Yay! I haven’t started loading it yet but it is built and ready to go. I don’t
anticipate working on it this week what with soccer camp happening, but I am
jazzed to get to work on it next week, or maybe even Saturday afternoon. The
quicker I get downstairs ready for school the happier I will be. I also need to
re-do the catio and rid ourselves of the desk pieces we are not going to be
using. This weekend can probably be the time in which this will take place.
Yesterday we went to the Lomita Train Museum with low expectations
for Harry Potter Day. It started pretty slow but in the end it was awesome what
with the boys being able to play some Quidditch! Holy crap that was fun to
watch. Bobby played beater and he was really good. He outran one kid to the
ball at one point and it was awesome! Dax played the golden snitch which I wish
I had filmed the second run. The announcer was in awe of how fast he was and
how he was outrunning the two seekers. The whole thing was fantastic and it
would be really cool to go watch some of the colleges play. I hadn’t laughed
that much in a while.
We got the uniforms for the boys’ teams. Dax is blue and
Bobby is this grey with a bright green on the side and green socks. Bobby
needed new cleats and we happened to find bright green ones that will match
perfectly. Super fun. I am betting we start practice next week with both teams.
So starts our busy period!
Now to just get through today’s work day.
