I have had to be an high speed the last 4 days or so... The week was pretty busy with appointments and coaching, and then on Friday my Mom and I started painting this house, (the inside.) We got up at like 5:00 am on Friday and went and painted for like 6 hours or so. Then I went right to the pool and coached for 4 hours. Then on Saturday I went and coached for 4 hours, drove to Tucson, and then coached another 5 hours. This morning I got up and coached for 4 hours, drove to Avondale and painted for like 4. Tomorrow morning Mom and I are getting up at 5:00 again to... you guessed it, go paint! Haha... The house is really big, and it's way more then I should have bitten off. The ceilings are almost all vaulted, and there are lots of walls with really dark walls to cover. I pray that somehow some way we can finish the house tomorrow... My Mom is not so optimistic haha.
Coaching in Tucson went fairly well I guess. I felt a little awkward, and I wasn't sure I was being very helpful... They said it was great though and they would love me to come down again sometime if I can, so that made me feel better. It's nice to feel appreciated for what you do!
I got an e-mail last night from the team saying that besides tomorrow, (Monday,) they don't need my help at all for 2 weeks. Although I'm not really surprised, I am a little upset because it's like yet another slap in the face. Next week is US Nationals, (at the pool that the team trains at,) and they are not even using me to help coach at all. I have been the one coaching pretty much all the figures, and yet they are not even bringing me in for that part of the competition. Instead they are bringing in someone from out of state who hasn't been coaching the girls at all. It just doesn't make sense... I don't get what they are doing... It's completely baffling, and definitely very hurtful. I guess I will just come and watch the meet as a spectator, and visit with my all my synchro friends from out of state, (which I am looking forward to.) I will also use the opportunity to network... I just want to feel out if there are any possibilities anywhere. I don't think I want to move, but for now I am keeping my options open until I figure out what I want to do next. Hopefully it won't take me forever to figure that out though!
Anyway I am exhausted and think I will sleep really well tonight. I sure wish I didn't have to get up at 5:00 to go paint haha... Gah, I sure get myself into predicaments!
