2010 off and running...

A new decade begins! My new years started off with a lovely cold. That's right I was in bed asleep at 10pm on new years eve. It was worth it! I think I slept off the crap from 2009 because I woke up 12 hours later refreshed and ready to go. Started off with a birthday party to attend new years night. I gave the birthday girl a snuggie..she loved it. Those damn things are so warm.

We had no break from sports over winter break. It seems I'm always praying for rain now..heehe.

Things have settled down since xmas and here are the newest updates:

I booked my 1st 2011 vacation. We are so excited to be heading on the mouse to mexico! We are going to be joined by several friends from the area. The even better news is that I used my points to pay for the trip so it cost me ZERO! I am still thinking about alaska with med friends in july, but seriously disney out of vancouver is the same price as princess out of SF. Since Alaska is way down on my list of places to see....you get the point.

Soccer...Sparks are 1-3 after a bummer of a day today. Afer a strong start, we lost both games which stunk but they were great and worked very well as a team. Tay is loving winter select and is seriously thinking of trying out for competitive soccer. I just read about it and, while it would be great for her, I am not sure how down I am with 75min. away games and the costs. Guess you have to let them try.

Cheer...After the coaching snafu we have settled down and are working hard towards our first competition. Shauna did pick up coaching tays team and has recruited me to assist her. I have missed coaching cheer so it's been fun to work with the girls.

Volleyball...is rolling along. Our first tournament is coming up soon. They are all day tournaments..UGH!

I am assisting our boys basketball coaches. I have to say it's hysterical to see me out on the court with our varsity boys who are a half foot taller than me. The funniest thing is I make them nervous and they don't want to bump or push me. I tripped over one kids feet and thought he was going to freak, he apologized for 10 minutes.

Student Council is going strong. We have been commiting to our goal of local fundraising this year. The students also put together a ski trip for the kids. I will be chaperoning, but manning the lodge with plenty of books. 2 knee surgeries=no skiing!

Work is good. The economy hasn't really hit us too bad. The transistion to my new boss has been smooth and easy. I have enjoyed working for him, even working out with his wife. Although when the weather turned we stopped running. We'll start again in the spring. We switched to trivia at a local pub. Which is counter acting the excercise. Sitting on your butt with beer answering trivia not to active ya know.

Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve. I look forward to this decade, watching my daughter go thru high school and start attending college. Crap.I just realized how old I am.
