May has been marching along, and here we are almost at the end! The days have been taken up with me subbing, volleyball, Lacrosse, horse riding, watching hockey (go Oilers!), birthday parties and more. A busy Spring as always! Well, the watching hockey part isn't always there, but how grateful am I that I am still interested at this point in the season lol. They are up 2-1 on the Flames with game 4 on tonight, I am hopeful but always ready for disappointment. The last time I blogged we were also up 2-1 in the series and then ended up losing the next two:-/. Although we did win that series in 7, I don't think we would survive the same way if we let that happen again so we must win tonight! Once again I say - GO OILERS!
I have been following the progress of the little birds nest that showed up on our deck a few weeks ago. The eggs hatched sometime on or just before the 14th (that is the day I noticed there were birdies there instead of eggs) and just yesterday (the 23rd) I noticed that the birds had flown away. All grown up and leaving the nest! It was fun to watch them get bigger in their nest, they were so squished in there yesterday morning that it was not surprising to me when I checked in on them later in the day and they were gone. I wish I could have watched them fly away! Have a great life birdies!
This past weekend I attended a three day volleyball coaching clinic at UW. It was a very stretching experience, I learned a ton. I was put on the spot a few times and made to feel very uncomfortable, but I am coming to understand that the discomfort may be an okay thing to have experienced - I don't know if you can learn hard things without being uncomfortable. I am very glad I did it, even if I never actually coach above the Kirkland Boys and Girls level. On Friday night, my boys and girls club team had their first game against their parents and it was so much fun! The kids pulled out a narrow victory and everyone had a great time:-).
After a very busy week and weekend last week, we are rolling into a much more laid back week. I did work this afternoon at Horace Mann as a sub and will probably pick up a job somewhere for Thursday, but our weekend is looking very relaxed at the moment. The kids and Brian are off Friday and Monday for Memorial Day but we aren't going anywhere. May do a few small things as a family but will probably hang around the house a lot. I do want to do some more yard work. I'm hoping for some warmer temperatures than are being forecasted though, seriously where is Spring!
Hopefully the next time I write I am still interested in hockey! Time will tell!
