A Little Slow

I have noticed after I come home from a vacation that it takes me a while to post. A lot has happened this week, and I have had every intention of blogging. With that said, I haven't. Hehehe

My student, who has a brain tumor, and I had a long talk on Wednesday. We both shed some tears, but I think I helped her come up with some solutions to things that she doesn't need to really worry about. Graduation requirements, etc. I want her to have the surgery, but the doc says they must do it now before the tumor hits the spinal cord because that means game over. I told her to screw the grad requirements for right now. Do the surgery, we will walk you across the stage, and we can figure out how to get your credits. My department chair agreed with me, and we are in the process of trying to work things out. The one hitch, she is going to need to tell a few more people. She told me that she was avoiding me. I told her that she knew and I knew that I loved her very much. My job as a coach, teacher, and ultimately a friend is help her to the best of my ability. That made her cry, which made me cry. She is 17, and she needs help. She needs someone (it should be her mom) to step up and take charge. She also needs to talk about it because as I told her avoiding it would help her fight it.

Another one of my students told me that I use to look cute. Why did I let a pregnancy ruin my beautiful figure? Um, you will learn this when you are in your twenties. Until then, don't talk to me. LOL She told me that she didn't think I could lose 10 pounds by the 25th of May. It isn't possible. She also thinks that I am lying about all the work out I say I do. Oh girlie, you are on and you are going down.

I'm teaching Julius Caesar (JC), and it is cracking me up. For a tragedy, it is pretty funny. I only hope I can get that message across to my students. So far, with a little help, they think it is funny. I have been killing myself with coming up with common day similiarities. So far, so good!!

I maintained this week. Not to bad since I went to Disneyland. I didn't run very much this week because at least one member in my family has been sick. I also have been staying at school a little later than usual. My plan is to run this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Brodie is trying so very hard to stand. He gets into the downward dog position, for those of you who know yoga. LOL It is hiliarious. Conner loves racing, so we race to see who can get ready faster in the morning. This morning, he won. LOL It makes me move faster though.

I am in the process of putting my volleyball stuff together, and it is really hard planning for next year. I want it done, so I can relax throughout the summer. Unfortunately, I am not in volleyball mode yet. I am also unsure what to do about a frosh vb coach. We may, or may not, be cutting frosh sports. That doesn't help in the slightest. I am waiting it out. It may ultimately screw me in the end, but I really don't want to hire someoen and then have to fire someone.

Hope all is well with everyone!
