wow, I am so glad this past week is over. I was stressed about getting the cheerleaders to the Homecoming peprally and the game and over working them and bruising their faces for the photos coming up and them sticking the stunts, etc…but they did a great job, got tons of positive feedback, and really enjoyed the Homecoming game itself….
So here are a few things I have learned about myself this weekend…
-When I have children that play sports, Daniel and I are going to be the psychotic yelling parents. I was crazy at the basketball game on Friday night, what an amazing game! The boys were playing as well as I had ever seen them, you could tell they were loving the big crowd cheering for them and I so wanted to boost their moral and was infuriated at the unfair ref! Have mercy on our poor emberassed children to come!
- Being a cheer coach is more exhausting then I thought, I slept till 11:30 on Saturday morning, which I never do anymore, and it was glorious!
- I love when my apartment is all clean and everything is in its place, it really does bring a sense of peace and order, Daniel and I will try our best to keep it this way..we shall see!
- I had my first official party in the apartment yesterday (thus why it was cleaned) and it was really fun! The few of us who could fit in there had a good time and I know the more I learn about football the more I will get into it as well…talk about a good Super Bowl Game..we were loving it!
- I relate to the character of April in Revolutionary Road. Not in the way where I want to harm myself in any way…but I get her, and I get her feeling misunderstood and like shes flailing in a floating world. This movie had a deeper meaning for me, and I would guess many out there. She wants more for herself and more for her husband than being caught up in a “Keeping up with the Jones’ ” world and everyone thinks she is out of her mind. Oh, how I understand and oh how hard it is to feel one way and live another. The only one that gets it is the lunatic..oh the irony. Obviously someone in the world has had the same thoughts that I have, or maybe its the cry of our souls that we were put on this earth to experience and live more than just the rat race which many simply endure.
- I think I would rather spend money on traveling than having nicer things for our home.
- I am annoyed at my “All or nothing” personality, and not sure how to fix it.
This was a good weekend, but it flew by…and here we are..Monday again!
