Aaryn played her last day of volleyball today. This did not sink in until early this morning when I realized that not only was this her last tournament of the year but that it was over as graduation is this spring. So I made the trek to Gimli to watch one of her games. Where has all the time gone? It seems so recent when I took her to school in kindergarten. There sure is a lot of reminders about our aging. Like watching the midgets play tonight, having coached some of them since squirts. Adison and Jayms are right behind Aaryn and before I know it Gaylene and I will be home alone. So I quickly remind myself not to live in the past but continue to look to the future for there are so many great promises ahead.
Tomorrow morning is turkey loading time at Darren's. I've got three weeks of barn cleaning and then it's back into my barn for the start of another year of egg picking. We have our labour force in place so it's been a little easier sleeping at night. Speaking of barn cleaning, I'm actually looking forward getting out and more into the physical part of work. I've been doing a lot of bookkeeping and getting my office back into somewhat of shape. Hope the weather stays decent.
Hockey is well on it's way into the season. I'm looking forward to the challenge this year to make our team more competitive. We have a large team with a lot of players that need a lot of work. Do I have what it takes to push the kids forward? I really struggle with kids that seem not to care about their improvement. Why should they play? Fair play or equal play? Do I push my way into the fair play and away from equal play? Some kids don't have the stamina to play at a high level like others. What about special teams and disciplinary issues. Dressing room behavior? You guessed it. Parents won't be happy when their kid starts sitting. Hey it does not matter what skill you have but you had better do your best!
Got to go to bed, have a great day or night or whatever you do.
