9-8-15
Such a shame that the last night of my 3 day weekend is the
one I can’t get any dang sleep.
This is my crazy week in terms of just how much is going on.
Today the boys are at the beach with my folks, which means they will be wiped
out tonight after soccer practice for each of them. I will most likely be
working on pulling soccer financials for the upcoming audit, which doesn’t
sound pleasant but it is a necessary evil. If anything, it will be good to have
the time to work on it with no kids in the house.
During practice my intentions are to line the fields. We
spent much of Sunday morning measuring the three fields at Hull and getting the
initial paint down. I figured since I am there anyway, I might as well do the
second coat to ensure they are visible for marking on Saturday morning. I have
a busy morning that day, too, what with a 10:30 game for Bobby and a 12:45 game
for Dax. I don’t have the rest of the schedule yet, but hopefully soon.
On top of lining fields, I have a meeting at 7 at the house
to go over some more reimbursements for our travel team. It hopefully will not
take too long, but it is still a process. Hopefully now that we have already
done a batch, this will be easier.
Yesterday I kicked some serious ass on the house. I did a
lot of clean up throughout the weekend, but yesterday I rearranged some of the
catio along with cleaning the side of the house by the garage. It had a lot of
weeds and fallen leaves that needed sweeping up. Also we had some more of the
items pulled from the garage needing to be disposed of. I was finally able to
get the rest of it in our cans. YAY! I still have a box of spray paint that
will need to go to the hazardous waste place, but that is minor.
I even managed to do some barbequing yesterday! I hadn’t
planned it, but we smelled someone else’s food and we thought why not! I made
some nummy teriyaki chicken. I now have that for lunch. Super yay! Really,
yesterday had a little bit of everything going for it.
The boys and I have been having way too much fun with the
Playmobile in the pool. Of course, much of this is my weirdness kicking into
high gear. I named several figures and gave them elaborate back stories. Yesterday
I found Captain Von Trapp, Maria and all the children. We also have baby Lieutenant
Dan who is a kid figure with no legs. Oh, and there is Salty, the sea captain.
Found one that looked like Marty McFly, too. Seriously, we were all laughing a
lot with the silly.
Oh my goodness, why must my coworker in the next cube over
feel the need to bathe in perfume?
I took Thursday off so I can keep from stressing about getting back in time to walk the boys to
school. I would normally just work in the morning but I also want to make them
breakfast and have time to go up early to see what classroom they are in. I
will then have the rest of the morning, early afternoon to do as I please,
which will be nice. Not sure what my plan is yet but I would bet it has to do
with soccer or cleaning. Ha!
I am really starting to worry about the hells of homework
for the next 12 weeks specifically. If they boys are getting home at 3:30,
homework will only have maybe an hour and 15 minutes to be completed. Mind you,
this is a lot of time if schools and teachers adhered to the 10 minute rule in
which its ten minutes per grade level. However, as we all know, there isn’t a
teacher alive these days who uses that as a guide. It means Tuesdays and
Thursdays could be crazy. Hopefully Dax has Mrs. Van Wie since I know her
homework wasn’t too bad. I have heard there is one 5th grade teacher
that assigns very little, so maybe I will luck out. Perhaps Karma will pay me a
visit and allow me some stress free homework for one year due to my diligence
on calling out the system.
In a shocking bit of complimentary data, I was told that the
Area director for our area in AYSO would have liked me as the area treasurer.
Apparently he thinks I do a good job in the region and thought I would do well
in Area. Now, I had heard this before, but chalked it up to someone just saying
something nice, not necessarily true. I figured if he really liked my work he
would have asked me. I found out this weekend that he didn’t ask because he
knew I didn’t want to move up to Area and that I still am needed in the region.
I guess I am one of the best treasures in the area, so that is pretty cool! And
I still don’t know that I do a great job. That’s me second guessing myself.
Sigh. It occurs to me I really want to color my hair before
this weekend. I wonder if I can go get color on Wednesday and have it done
then.
Of course, the one game Ken has on Wednesdays in which Dax
can play, too, happens on this Wedneday night at 9. Sadly, he will not be
attending. Really, the only games I have let him go to is if they are at 8, but
during the summer he always went. He normally just watches, but this one team
Ken is playing is one that doesn’t have enough players so it ends up being just
a fun game of all ages. I know I shouldn’t feel too bad since ultimately these
boys need to go to bed a little early on Wednesday what with a full day of
school ahead of them and soccer practice that night. Sometimes the stars don’t align.
Damn. It’s gonna be crazy hot this week, including Thursday.
Bleah. The reason sleep was impossible last night was due to the heat. It may
be time to break down and get one of those air conditioning units.
