Sickies

I finished up my basketball season. It ended on a bit of a bad note. Long story short I made a decision that the A team coach felt was bad and she didn't tell me very tactfully, Ha. She called and apologized for her delivery. It was fine to bring my attention to something but it got me worked up regardless. It brought up a lot of my insecurities of being a coach in the first place. I'm still kind of worked up about it and it makes me anxious about coaching 7th grade. I think they want me to coach the A team and I really don't want to. I don't want the added pressure of being the head coach. We'll see what happens. I'm glad to have a break. I have 3 extra hours in my day now. That will be an adjustment. I've basically been coaching since the middle of August. Dinner time will be much less stressful. Ha. On a positive note I just loved working with my team. It's so fun to watch their progression over the season. I'm so happy with their successes. We had three games where every member of the team scored at least one basket.  We won 8 games and lost 2 over the season. The two we lost were good close games. I still have a lot to learn but I do enjoy so much of it.

All of the kids have colds right now. Corbin was the worst and missed school on Friday. He seems to be doing much better.

I hosted a friend's lunch on Thursday. I made my creamy chicken noodle soup and homemade rolls. I think 8 people came. It was fun.

Scott and I got to go to dinner for Scott's work Christmas party. It was at a restaurant downtown. I love/hate downtown! I hate trying to find parking. It was very festive and pretty down there and the food was good. Scott got a whole cow to himself practically! I just ordered a salad, all of the entree's did not seem like good picks for me. Ha.

I think we are mostly ready for Christmas. I got all of the kids presents wrapped yesterday.This week I will try to think about neighborhood treats. Tonight I'm meeting my closest friends for our Christmas dinner and gift exchange. I'm excited for that!

My friend came and watched my game and took some pictures. She caught this moment when my last player that hadn't scored a basket made one in the last 2 seconds of the game! I was so excited. Ha. 

My friend's daughter is hand painting ornaments. I was lucky enough to get an order in before she stopped taking orders. It's so cute! Gabby is even holding Lizzie but Lizzie is not green so she was not as impressed as me. Ha. 

Check out that long grey curly hair I plucked out. I am getting more grey hairs everyday! 

My friend is getting rid of her bunny and we decided to take it. I will go pick it up on Christmas Eve. I hope the kids will like it. I also hope our fence is secure enough for her not to escape. 

Ryan got creative this morning. Ha. 

Corbin followed suit. He even made cuts in his to look more like a Santa beard.
