Feeling Bitter, and Starting to Stress

My stomach is churning. You know that feeling, were it's not butterflies, but that sickly, churning that the thought of eating would make you feel nauseous. No, it's not from bad food, or like most of you think, from me drinking too much... it's from friends. 'Huh?' you think.

I mentioned my friend Ginny moving to NC. She is supposed to be flying back the 1st, loading a U-haul trailer, and driving back to NC... all by the 4th. A mutual friend was staying at her place, trying to help get everything packed, etc, but they have had a falling out, and as of today, "kicked" the friend out of her place. So, though most of the house is packed up (in many boxes) there are still a couple rooms or so that need to be packed, and the garage. I went over today, as I was to put the hitch on the truck, and take it for an oil change. I put it off until Monday. The friend was telling me "everything" she thought I should know to tell Ginny when she gets back, because as of now, she is no longer speaking to her.

Great.

So, I am the only one with the Ginny's truck key. I am now the only one with a house key. At least 2 people are supposed to be by sometime - no clue when - to get the washer/dryer, and the bedroom suite. I fortunately am friends with both, so can make arrangements with them in order for me to be there to open the door. But now I feel like it is all down to me, as a friend, to finish what everyone else has been doing, just so she can leave on time to get back to the job on time, because she supposedly can't miss any days of the training. I know there is no way all the boxes already packed, will fit in the 6xwhatever size trailer she is getting. U-haul won't let her get any size larger due to the type of truck she has.

So, I am stressing out a bit about it all. How far as a friend to I do things.... and is it proper to have to draw the line. I guess it depends on 'how good of' friends I feel we are..... sigh.

I am screwed.

I have been challenged

One person has commented about my last post ( I won't mention names) but he has pointed out some 'protocols' that he feels should be followed. Isn't that nice? Oh, but let's leave out details, wait, I should not bring his identity to bear, unless he wants, so that is out.

Here is what I have decided. I am still coaching the team as of this moment.

Anyone, that includes all you players that read here and do not comment, and I know there are a few of you, that has a problem with me being coach - tell me. Don't want me - fine. Get a majority vote, talk to the bar owner, discuss amongst yourselves, quit for all I care. Fuck calling people to tell them they are off the team. Fuck calling people to call and ask them to cheer us on. I am not here to please parents. I am not here to run a team that is going on to have a championship in the Olympics. IT'S A BAR LEAGUE. You want to play so badly, and I cut you out. CALL ME. How simple is that?

And if you can't call, but just have everyone vote me out as coach, hell - no problem there. Just tell me you don't want me doing it, and you get off your ass and do it.

Enough said.

I guess this weekend I will have to address everyone that shows up on Sunday of this issue going on, and ask what "they want to do". I am sad to say, that when you have friends that have these sort of issues, even when they know the right out come, .... hell I am done. Got more to say call me 602-695-5549.

In the meantime, I am moving on with my life and registering my 10 year old son for football tomorrow. He is excited! Full gear and tackle! Watch for him in 10 years to be one of those best linemen!!!
