Volleyball @ MindSay

Well it was bound to happen with how busy I am now that I am a full time student on top of being a full time stay home mom whose husband is gone between 50-80% of the time.  I am playing hooky the rest of this week minus going to school Friday morning to take a proctored exam for an online class.

 

I am starting to feel run down, stuffed up, and stressed out.  Randy point blank said stay home!  I am gone for two weeks, your parents moved to the city, and we are FUCKED if you go down with being sick if it isn't the flu!

 

I played pool last night and before hand went to a mandatory workshop for my TRIO program instead of just relaxing at home yesterday.  I think that is what screwed me.  I am being a typical groody house mom today!  I threw on clean pants and underware but threw back on my pool tshirt (it's comfy!) and took the kids to school.  When I got home, I did all the necessary emails and phone calls to professors, counselors, and recruiters (they are for my student ambassadorship).

 

For the last two hours I have been chit chatting with friends on the phone, cleaning my house back to the point I will accept it, and finishing up the winterization because it is getting down to freezing at night!  That wind is cold during the day!  Plus I am having issues with the dayum grain feed place getting my propane!  I have been heating the house for the past week by doing laundry and running my dryer!  Randy finally took that over this morning while on the road.  He is getting them to get out here to fill our propane tank up but they are screwing around still by saying it might be tomorrow instead.  If they dont' show up today, I am going to use who one of the Tribe's contracts out to!  They are loving the fact it opened up a new customer base outside of the Tribe and Tribal memebers who receive tribe paid propane!  They are comign down twice a week to fill up for Tribe paid accounts and are willing to give private paid Tribal memebers and None Tribal members the same price!  So if the fuckers dont' show up today to fill up my propane they lost my business and then I go bitchy as hell on them!  While getting CHEAPER propane from a different company.

 

So one less stress taking care of, but it isn't going to last.  Once I get my hosue cleaned up today and tomorrow, I should be feeling better.  But I doubt it! 

 

I have a budding volleyballer on my hands with my daughter.  She has played two Sundays so far and I have missed both of those games due to me having school obligations before her schedule came out.  According to Daddy and Grandma, DeLaney is taking after her Auntie Theresa and is a natural born volleyballer.  I can't wait to go to her next two Sunday's worth of games to take lots of pictures.

 

Then my son!  My baby!  He is a strong combo of smarts from his dad and mom!  Don't get me wrong so is Mz Thang but she is more like her dad and could care the fing less about school.  She is one smart cookie but she gets bored and looses focas really easy.  She is getting all A's and B's but she has a very competitive class when it comes to grades.  She will have to step it up a notch in the next few years.

 

Anyway we always knew our kids were high ability learners.  And if the teachers would just fucking listen to me about DeLaney she would be where her brother is sitting at!  With an invitation to the gifted program!  That is right my son scored a 93% on his national tests OVER ALL!  Only one other 4th grader had an over all compositie score almost as high as Coltin's!  The other two 4th grades invited scored high in one or two subjects! 

 

Now my Monday's just got that much busier until the end of April.  Since the school is a small K-12th school, they don't have the money to do the program every day afterschool or even twice a week during school like my neice's program is, so after school once a week on Monday's, Coltin is now not going to get home till about 5:30 quarter till 6 at night.  They make up the other days they don't do the program by holding special feild trips for the 3-6th Gifted program on weekends.  Coltin is as bored in school as his sister is but he doesn't loose focas like she does.  He takes after me in the aspect of being very competitive with his grades. 

 

Both Randy and I are very happy that our kids are finding their niches in this school even if there are some social issues there (that is all because of how snotty the people are in this town the school sits in) but thankfully they have listened to me and say screw the snotty kids!  I'll dress how I please, I'll do the things that make me happy and if you don't like it kiss my ass.  I don't have to be a jock, I don't have to be a nerd, and I don't have to be the "popular" kid to have friends.

 

they kdis are still bugging to be homeschooled because DeLaney admitted she learns more when I teach them something.  I think it boils down to that DeLaney needs to have more one on one interactoin and she would do excellent in a Charter School system.  That girl is super smart!  Especially when she is helpign me to study for Spanish and Math!:D

 

Anyway.  I best get off of here so I can go clean up my kitchen and then sit down in a blanket with a book!  Chatter at ya all later!

Tommorrow there's a meeting for volleyball I can't wait! I've been waiting for this all summer long! Haha

And tommorrow if I make a blog I will have finally blogged one entire month. Every single day. 31 days man.

Lifes good right now
Very good

Aime Pelatan, President of Allsportrating.com and Joe Francis, Vice President, are founders of Allsportrating.com. They started Allsportrating.com to provide an athlete rating formula for amateur and professional athletes. Allsportrating.com has an office in Orange, TX. The latest web site was published in the spring of 2007. Allsportrating president, Aime Pelatan, was contacted by coaches, sport agents, and sport recruiters to create an athlete rating formula.

 

Mr. Pelatan wanted to give the average athlete an opportunity to participate in sports. Athletes can feature themselves with personal information, personal resume, statistics, photo gallery, messaging system, peer rating, three action performance videos, personal photo, personal athlete rating, and personal URL.

Athletes around the world have an opportunity to receive a free web site. After completing an athlete profile the athlete can be featured and receive international exposure.

 

Allsportrating.com gives athletes an edge with an athlete rating in their field of sports. The athlete rating is a great way for athletes to promote themselves. Athletes will have a better opportunity for scholarships. Teams and schools can manage their team and showcase all the athletes.

oh thursday...

 

i'm on fumes. but playing DDR didn't help.

the yoga stretches did, but not the DDR.

 

my brains lay on the floor of the ICC library,

right next to the journalism section, go figure.

i was almost late for my examen de espanol.

then i raced around to get something basically

cohesive enough to pass as a rough draft on

the volleyball team. she said it was going well,

we'll see on Monday. ooh monday...

 

i interviewed the team. they were receptive

and only some were slightly put off by my

floral slip ons and dapper cardigan. they

looked way more comfortable in lycra and

cotton. i got half of the team to talk, the other

half i'll get tomorrow. yay.

 

i've been consumed with love lately. i smile

more, i think about saying nice things more.

for instance, i saw an amazing spider web

between two fir trees on campus. i wouldn't

have noticed it but the sun was just coming

up, glistening over the dew covered... every-

thing. oh, it is just so hard to explain, but it

was one of the most beautiful things i've

ever seen. and i felt love through it. through

that simple things, it all just makes sense.

 

and this thing with gaige... i didn't love him,

i didn't even like him all that much, but it

hurts me that he won't talk to me. and i didn't

even do anything. it also made me question,

well will i EVER meet a great guy who will

stay and man-up and be all that i need?

because yes, in some ways i need a good

man, and i mean a GOOD man. then my

mom sat me down and said yes. but it won't

just be this casual, oh, well, i think he likes

me, or i think i like him. it'll be there, it will

be consuming, and it will be amazing. i know

in my heart that i'm not ready for him to

come into my life. i'd be scared and unsure

and immature. God knows what he's doing

and i can't believe i ever questioned that.

it'll happen, when i'm ready. and i think, well

i think i'll know.

 

maybe it will be an ootz in my stomach.

 

or stars and a jesse mccartney song. =]

blah i just got back from Notre Dame volleyball camp this afternoon and man am i sore!!!!My friend and i got to to stay in the dorms from Wednesday to today and we played volleyball for like 9 hours a day. But it was totally worth it. becasue if i wouldnt have came then i wouldnt have seen all the hundreds of hot in shape guys that were at the hockey, soccer, and lacross camps. Yupp theres nothing like getting to dinner 45 minuets early just to be the only girls in a room full sweaty, stinky guys!!  ohhh yeah totally worth it

   I only get one day of rest and then i have another camp to go to!!!! YA!!!  im going to kill that ball in some lucky chick's face!!!!!!!!
