Saturday - Massively cleaned, SS planning with Anna, hang with Anna and Kae1. Church as always was great and quite timely with the things going on in my life. It was about God being in control and His timing being intentional and perfect. Anna and I taught the Sunday school review which went really well. The review game was a hit. Thank you internet searching.
The afternoon was productive, prepped my spiel/devo to go along with the writing something nice about each player and things for Monday's practice, prepped some for an interview Monday, talked with Charlie, got a nap in. After the business meeting at church, I headed home and spent a couple hours talking with mom and dad and helping dad with his iPhone/computer questions. They seriously frustrate me when they can't remember any of their passwords or they spelled it. PARENTS. For some reason, all of my life they have chosen Indian names of people that helped with my adoption but they can't for the life of them remember how they spelled it. So I forced them to simplify it for their sake but mostly mine, seeing how I do a lot of things for them. Gotta love parents.2. Monday morning I had my interview and was told I would hear back later in the week if I made it on to face to face interview. I'm confident in my decision not to work at Wynalda but that also means a lot of uncertainty. I'm thankful God knew each of my days ordained before I was even born. His plan is much greater than I can imagine. Practice I wasn't able to have the gym, so I pulled each girl out to talk to them one on one like I did at the beginning of the season. Chatted, spoke quite honestly with them about what they bring to the team and how I appreciate who they are not just on the court but as a person - it was good. I also asked for feedback from them on coaching - quite a few of them said they want me to be meaner. haha, noted. Headed home, grabbed some dinner and for the first time ever decided to watch The Bachelor during the night of - I've never really followed it but for some reason one night was bored and watched it online. Anyway, thought it would only last an hour, then an hour passed and I thought ok an hour and a half. Nope 2 hours. Yeah, I definitely felt like I wasted my night. Not to mention the guy is an idiot for keeping Courtney around. Hope he gets a serious wake up call.
3. Tuesday night I didn't sleep well and kept dreaming about seafood. Every time I woke up, I was completely irritated that I kept dreaming about lobster and shrimp. I had no idea why - which kept me up wondering. Upon morning and getting ready, it hit me - the went lobster diving on The Bachelor (quite poorly...1) middle of the ocean with no reefs around, not the best place 2) grab the things with your HANDS, feel free to use a glove - we may or may not have lobster dived in FL quite a bit growing up. Anyway, I have no other explanation for the random seafood dreams - then I woke up hungry and craving shrimp and lobster. Hm.
I got this text from dad before heading off to work. I kind of thought I was in trouble (not sure for what though).
I went back upstairs after kitchen counter and came across these.
My first thought response thought was "Oh, it's Valentines day?" I haven't gone to the store in awhile nor do I think twice about the day. Guess that proves my singleness. I love my dad and the way he makes you feel special.
Then got this text in the morning...out of the blue but completely appreciated. Oh and feel free to take note of the beginning part of the text, as you will probably start there anyway. I laughed out loud when she asked what time it was in GR when she was in Detroit. Same time zone, my friend.
A quality someecard email from Anna. Funny!
AND one last funny photo. I was sent a survey on my car - instead of being single, I am "not married". Ironically it was on V-day, which made it even better.
Not a huge fan of V-day (not because I'm single...in Sanderson terms, "it's a Hallmark holiday") but it's sure a blessing to be surrounded by great friends and family. I won't go all sappy and junk but man, I'm blessed and I know it.
We had a game at night. I'm pretty used to losing by now but it's sure frustrating to me when my team just gives up, talks back to me, and pouts. Rough. Or when I seriously go out of my way to get them something for valentines and all I hear are complaints about what kind of candy. It was a frustrating night. THEN to get a follow up email from a displeased parents. You're kidding me. The nerve. After the time, energy, and money I have and continue to put in to this team...
4. Wednesday was a night at home, just chilling and doing nothing. I'm really unsure of what I did. Watched Survivor. Could be a hit or miss season. We'll see.
5. Thursday had another game. Those kids make my head spin but I really am going to miss spending time with them. The first half of the game was pretty miserable mostly because they choose not to listen to us. The second half, we come out and they do what we ask of them...we look like a basketball team. Go figure. Before the game, I was approached by displeased parent -- who had a completely different mindset from a couple days before. It was surprisingly good. I got home around 10ish, messed around on the internet a bit, and tried to sleep. The last time I remember seeing was 12:30...I couldn't sleep, stupid mind. Then I woke up around 4 and was up an hour. Eww. Yet woke up feeling rested.
6. Sitting at work on Friday and I get call from the Sport's Director at school saying we have a mutany on our hands because 1 parent, married to displeased then pleased parent voiced his opinion LOUD and CLEAR at a board meeting on Thursday night. You're kidding me. Really getting fed up with this particular family. This particular mom who still drove made it quite apparent she was unhappy about it before we left. Seriously had to continue praying over and over for patience towards her and her daughter. Anyway, drove out to Lansing and right before the game, Gabe texts and says "possibly going into labor" ...awesome and we're in Lansing (mom and Lydia, too). Thankfully she didn't go. We lost the game - a game we should've won. If you're keeping track, we haven't won one yet.
7. A 3 game week sure takes a lot out of you. Saturday was clean day. I didn't do that last week - bathroom and bedroom turned into a disaster area. I mean really. Even the car was bad. It was time for that to be cleaned out as well. It was nice not to have practice again this Saturday morning. Anna came over, chatted (poor Anna only hears about basketball from me and then comes over and gets an earful from mom as well - I should be accepting the bad friend award), and planned our Sunday school lesson. Then Kae came over - we baked, hung out, and watched Moneyball. Good times, good friends. 1 more week of full out basketball (another 3 game week), a couple practices the next week and our tournament game. Almost done. Then we are having an alumni vs current teams games, which is going to be awesome. Can't wait.
Sorry for my lack of posting lately...been a little busy, I've got quite a few drafts made up with blog ideas but haven't had the time or energy to develop them. I know you've all been waiting anxiously for the next meaningful and insightful post of mine.
