Nice package….

Dear Packaging, You suck. Me I realize that you don’t want to make it too easy to break into a package of razor blades from Costco but at some point I would like to be able to remove them from the package after I purchase them. My first problem was trying to do this with my bare hands. Perhaps it was my over inflated ego of my Physical Therapist telling me I had super strong forearms that made me think I could rip through the packaging. I could not. Then I decided to open it with the metal nail file that is attached to my toe nail clipper. I think you see where this is heading. Disaster and a new puncture wound. But that did not stop me, I finally punctured something other than me. Stupidly I assumed now that it was punctured I could rip it open with my bare hands again. Yep, not so much (I’m starting to think my PT was lying to me about my super forearms of doom). Some sort of plastic coating was not in my way. I did what I normally do, which is swearing … [Read more...]

Everything falls apart….

“Everything that falls apart baby, sooner or later gonna come back together Well everything that comes together baby, sooner or later falls apart” –Dog’s Eye View You may have noticed on Facebook if you are on there a bunch of you know you’re from Some City when kind of posts. Well, the very first school I ever taught at started their own page. It’s been quite amusing/embarrassing seeing what the student and teacher remember from back in the day. This has also led to many a student hunting me down and friending me. It has also led to them opening up to me about their lives just like they did in junior high. I think once you gain a kids trust it just kind of sticks with them. And while I sugar coat every food item I seem to make, I do not sugar coat life. Which they often tell me I was just the kick in the pants they needed. :) One of my students is going through something incredibly painful. I have listened to her and tried to be there for her as much as one can … [Read more...]

Be Pea ever so humbled…

We have a player on our team who has been with us since the beginning. His wife was going to start going to school full time and their income was going to be split in half. The first season I found him money through some local sponsorship (a local physical therapist…hockey brings big business). The second season however I could not find him any. So I sent an email to my team and asking them if anyone would be willing to chip in to help cover his costs. Which everyone gladly did varying from $10 on up. At first he was taken back because of the fact that the team paid for him, but then I kindly reminded him that we were a family, all be it a hockey family, but a family all the same. And families take care of each other and that we could not imagine a season without him. I also told him I am sure if he was in a place to help out other he would (he would). BTW, if you want to see the Sheep in action check out this cool video that one of our players boyfriend made. Black Sheep … [Read more...]
