I have been awake most of the night due to a gross sinus infection. Pollen and I have a love/hate relationship. I know it's great and important but it really makes me miserable. When it reaches extreme levels, my Zyrtec just can't keep up. I finally gave up on sleep and wandered downstairs to make coffee.
My lack of sleep may be attributed to baseball too! Last night was horrible. After the game David tried to talk to our "juvenile" coach about moving Cooper to the infield and the coach acted like a 5 yr old. I must be really crazy (well I am usually but this is different :) ). Why is it that when you coach a TEAM it's about putting your child first? There are 12 players on our TEAM! Cooper was one of a few players to get 2 hits last night and the ONLY outfielder to make a play. Our 3rd baseman let 4 balls go right past him and gave up 4 runs and the coach left him there b/c he's a coach's son. Why not give someone else a shot @ stopping the ball? If not my kid, one of the other older kids that you have stuck in the outfield so that your 1st year kids can play the infield. My husband travels for work and can't coach or he would (the coach yelled the remark @ David as he walked away "There's a sign-up sheet for coaching, feel free to sign up next year"). We've had this same coach in t-ball and had the same issues. This will not happen to my boys again. I just think @ this level (machine pitch) that coaches should be working on the skills of the whole team, not just 2 or 3 kids that are coach's sons. I don't think the other coaches are this way, I've observed the other teams that we play....
Whew! I feel better. Now maybe I can sleep.
Parker isn't going to be attending The Lowell Whiteman School in Colorado. The scholarship money wasn't enough to cover more than 6 weeks of school. Apparently, 3.75 GPA doesn't mean a lot unless you are a snowboarder @ LWS. That's okay. I was having a hard time letting go anyway... He's good w/ the decision. He's looking forward to summer football workouts and working w/ Blackberry Little Theater and lighting/sound manager this summer. FPHS is getting i-pads for all the students next year, textbooks will ALL be digital. Park has an i-pad but it will be different b/c it will only have school programs. So there are a lot of positive things about staying here for school.
Ok, I'm finished for now. It's time to get the boys up for school and get some more coffee :) I'll post pics and a link about my rainbarrel I made @ The Earth Day festival later. It is awesome. Again, it's the little things.....
