i wear many hats

and today i was a cheerleading coach.

now, if you know me, even a little bit, you know i am not really a cheerleader "type" nor did i do cheerleading in high school (though i did briefly for a rec league in middle school), but i was a coach today!

my coworker, paige, has been coaching the teams this year (both the middle school jv and high school varsity squads) all by herself with no help and not a lot of coaching experience. she was telling me about how things were going, and i told her if she needed some back-up "knocking skulls" that i was there for her... and she took me up on it!

so today i was back-up bad cop for the team, and i have to say it was a lot of fun! i've done a lot of "coaching" in colorguard, horseback riding, dance, etc so it was kind of like going home to be coaching again. best of all, paige seemed really happy, the girls seemed happy, and i got the added benefit of doing something more with my day than just laying on the couch after work. i've been having a hard time getting back into the swing of working at school, and to add to that, i'm fighting off a major sickness, so i feel like crap and all i want to do is sleep. getting out today to be outside, hang out with some fun girls, and help a friend accomplish something felt really good!

now i guess i just need to keep it together long enough to do some school work before bed... but the sickness is trying to take hold of me, and the snooziness is taking over. we shall see :-P
