Cheer practice starts this coming Thursday. As in 3 whole days away. Basically 75 hours from now. I have mixed emotions. First, I am sad that my summer is coming to an end. It has been a good one. Unusually hot, but still good. On the other hand, I am excited to see the girls and get geared up and work hard and have them live up to their potential. I am excited about the propects of what this squad is capable of and how far they can go. But, I’m also worried that they aren’t going to push themselves much and will rebell against me pushing them. We shall see. I’m gearing up for a big pep talk first thing on Thursday.
Besides getting ready for practices to begin, I’m trying to jam an incredible amount of stuff into the next couple of days with a somewhat weird schedule. Sounds pretty much the same as my life usually is from this time through mid March. I never understand how other people can get so much stuff done! I figure they must not sleep. But I shouldn’t complain. This weekend I was talking to some friends about facebook (which seems to have become overrun with people these days) and told them that my pet peeve is when people will write a status like “I have so much to do today! I don’t know how I’ll ever get it all done.” And the response in my head is always, “Well, get off the damn facebook and maybe you’ll have a chance!” Of course I never actually say that in a comment. Because that would be impolite and confrontational. And then I’d get uncomfortable.
Anyway, I’m just reporting my schedule to you. I’m not complaining. So no one needs to confront me about the fact that I’m blogging right now instead of actually getting my crap together and getting something accomplished.
Welp. I’ve thought about starting a blog for almost a year now. And I just haven’t done it. But here tonight when I have a billion other things I should be doing I’ve decided instead to finally bite the bullet and get it done. Mostly just so I can avoid putting my clean clothes away and cleaning my bathroom for a little longer.
I’m not sure how much I’ll post or what I’ll post or who will even read what does get posted, but oh well. I’m hoping it might be a bit cathartic for me to get some thoughts and words out there. And I’m sick of writing in a journal – I’ve done that since about the 1st grade and where has it gotten me? I do know that since my techie skills are pretty low some of you might not be too impressed with what I can manage here, but I guess that’s not really the point, is it? I think having a place I can write and people can respond if they’d like would be great. So we’ll see how it goes.
Anyway, this ends my version of the classic “why I’m starting a blog” post.
