Today after school Marina had a Volleyball game. Er.... Marina tells me it's called a "match." They played at Mt. Baker Middle School so they were the "Visitors". She played in two games and I only arrived after work in time for the second game. And since I went straight to the school after work I didn't have my camera so I had to just take a couple of pictures of her at home in her costume. Er... Marina tells me it's called a "uniform." Whatever. So Marina is going to write all about the Volleyball Match. If she starts focussing on who won please remind her that winning doesn't matter... school sports are about having fun, being active, making friends, learning and improving skills and practicing good sportsmanship. And now, introducing.....MARINA!
I played in the first game and the last. The first game, WE WON!!! YAY!! We won 25 to 12, and I even scored the first point of the meet. My team was really good, and we worked really well together. I scored the first point because I was tall enough to block a return hit, yay for me! My second game I was in, we lost, but we played really hard, and at the end felt proud of ourselves. WE lost 23 to 25. Oh well..
My coach is really nice, and an eighth grade manager we have is making up cheers all the time for us to do so that we always feel supported. Our latest is a version of Jiggalo. "Hey Rainier, Hey What, Hey Rainier, Hey What Hey What? Show us how you jiggalo! We set up high we bump down low and this is how we jiggalo!!" We always have lots of energy, which makes volleyball fun, and everyone is always really positive, and there with a smile if you mess up, which we all have done.... oops... So, that's pretty much our volleyball match... Back to dad!
Here she is in her Volleyball sweats. Her team name "Ree Ree" is on the back, below.
DeeDee got her hair cut today too... doesn't she look good when she's not a big hairball? She certainly smells better too.
And I just couldn't resist the urge to take a picture of one of my hanging baskets... they're going to look so good once everything starts filling in!
So that was pretty much the day. Now I need to get online and do some work. I have so many accounts to refer that I am never going to get caught up. We're just beginning our busiest season and already I feel so overwhelmed that it is debilitating. Today I had my "Roll Out" meeting/training for the staff to introduce the renewal of my Select Hotel program which renews every year on 6/1. That went well. But between that and the other meetings scheduled today I didn't have time to do any of my own work. So I need to do some tonight. The good news is that tomorrow is my Friday off. I work extra long days so that I have every-other-Friday off. And tomorrow is my "off" day. I am excited. I'm going to choose to spend it at work. Because I have too much work to do. At least I am thankful to have such a wonderful family to come home to in the evening!
