Well, hello there...

It's been awhile since I've written on this bad boy and I figured since my lesson plans are all done and I've graded all my tests for the week I would update the old blog. Things have been quite ridiculous for me lately. I'm coaching three days a week at a pool that takes me 45 minutes to get to. So, basically what should be 4 and 1/2 hours of coaching per week turns into 9 hours of coaching per week. Oh, and I only get paid for 4 1/2 hours. On this team, there is a kid who likes to challenge me about what we are doing. Yesterday he asked "Do you want us to do real dead lifts or use the step because..." and I stopped listening and said "Umm, do what I tell you." And he mumbles everything he says in an unintelligible tone. He also told me "It is physically impossible to do planks on your forearms. " I wanted to say "Funny, but the old woman in my classes at the gym do planks on their forearms all the day. You're 15. I think it's just because YOU SUCK" but alas, I could not say this. Only because his mom was there. This, of course, is the kid who should not even be on a swim team because he is beyond help. Oh, and I have to stay at practice until this 15 year old is out of the locker room "in case he hurts himself." Yes, that's right. In case a 15 year old gets hurt in a freak locker room changing accident. So, sucks to be me.

I am also now the big Whistle Blower at my job. Apparently, my tone of voice isn't really controllable lately at work. I inadvertantly made a comment about some things at a staff meeting and now I am a big trouble maker. Last year I was refered to as "The Superstar" and this year I am the "Trouble Maker." I am giving up my lunch on Thursday to teach a workshop at the high school- which is wrong on soooo many levels- and yet I can't really bring it up because I am apparently a thorn in my new princiPAL'S side. So, Sucks to be me.

Also, my pants don't fit as well as they used to and I have black eyes. Oh, and possibly a case of ring worm. Eww. I am seriously a dirt bag. Hmm, sucks to be me.
