Traditionally sundays are tied to writing, reflection, and football. I have a little bit to say about some of those things. I don’t have anything coherent enough to design an entire 10 minute post around. So, I’ll just dive into…
Some Thoughts:
- The Dragon Ball Hunt is officially back for 2017, and I am looking for ideas to make the hunt amazing. I’m thinking seven or maybe even an 8th clue this year and tying the whole thing in with Naruto as both sets of kids are Naruto crazy right now.
- It reminds me that I am hosting my kiddos for thanksgiving this year. Ugh. I don’t have a clue what to do. Maybe I can piece together a turkey bowl? That seems quite ambitious though.
- Starting tabata training with the boys this morning. They need to get ready for a long and rough football season (all three are on new and largely raw teams) and I need to not die from the fat belly.
- Tabata. One more responsibility I’m adding to my not so short list. It might be time to write down the list of responsibilities and figure out what stays and what doesn’t.
- Coffeenerdness: I have issues with the Ninja Coffee Maker. Issue #1: Once the cleaning light goes on it never ever goes off. I cleaned it about 10 times. #2: And this is a good issue. It definitely tells me the quality of my coffee. Largely this is discovered through the condition of the coffee in the filter post brew. Some brands look ready to brew again. Some resemble the nastiest variety of sludge.
- My son’s cat is crazy lonely. She mewls about it to me once or twice a day, like a patient coming in for therapy.
- I had a lot of fun experimenting with plays on friday, but I am not sure the team felt the same. It can’t instill confidence if the coach changes the play as you’re repping it. However, I plan to pitch that Tuesday as my process and seeing what players are capable of and building around that. It is true: You play to the talents you have, and not what you wish you had.
- That being said, I maintain doubt that we field a team at all. 11 kids is the most I’ve ever had show up at a practice and that does include most of the regulars. We are not even allowed to go to war with less than 14. Current roster size is 15. Of that number there are probably 4 kids who shouldn’t be on the field at the same time because of size. They’re all too small and a such limited in what they can do. Likewise, there are two players who are over the weight limit, which means that we really only have 13 or we go unweighted and kids will get hurt bad.
- My kids are spending their allowances on beyblades. This is cool, because it means they will truly enjoy the stadium. Down the road we will have a fun tournament with only the leftover extra parts.
- I’m still stupid in love. At this point it has become a permanent state of mind.
