It's no secret that I'm a competitive person. So it's not surprising that my offspring is also competitive. So, after 10+ years of watching my VERY competitive daughter play soccer, I must say, I have acquired a lot of sideline experience. As a coach, I heard attitude from parents and a few kids, that were … Continue reading What I HATE Most About Watching Youth Sports

Do Your Job.. or Someone Else Will…
I'm utterly amazed at the things I learn in my line of work. I work in a production environment that caters to education....all levels...as well as SOME businesses and individuals. My job is nothing special and really, a "well trained monkey" could probably do most of it. That being said...I don't care to lose my … Continue reading Do Your Job.. or Someone Else Will…
AP EXAM — scam?
OK..so I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer these days. I'm okay with that. I do read at a college level...and I can process details pretty quickly.

Well I'm glad you and I agree on something.Having been a coach and parent of active kids, I receive emails from our local parks & rec department from time to time. This one has me most upset. Why? The first … Continue reading Favoritism….another form of Bullying
Enough is ENOUGH!!
CAUTION: Rant ahead!! Proceed with caution.When is enough finally ENOUGH? Schools operate on an entirely set of different rules than most of society and I get that. Especially when it comes to raising funds etc. However, when did it become acceptable to charge $50+ for a yearbook that does not even get into the students' … Continue reading Enough is ENOUGH!!

As a former employee at the college and primary level, 18 years volunteer experience for public schools in two counties, a mom and now employed at one of the TOP suppliers for sports apparel in central Kentucky I have … Continue reading Making Decisions….for others.

Always Playing Catch Up…
Seems that even in the slow months I can't keep up with posting things. I seem to think of all these posts but when I have time; I'm too tire to post. Or I forget what I was going to post. Is that a sign of aging? NOPE. I refuse to believe that. It's NOT … Continue reading Always Playing Catch Up…
