Something is wrong with the mail server at my work (the one everything is currently forwarding into) so if you are sending me email, it needs to go to the queensu account otherwise there is about a 24 hour delay through my other server.
All the messages from the past 24 hours came through about lunchtime.
James and I made it home from soccer camp before the rain, though it seemed to be threatening all morning. Some bits and bobs from soccer camp:
*James never goes to the bathroom while he's there
*Lorna asked what their lunch is at soccer camp- on Monday they had pizza, which James ate 1 slice- on Tuesday they had a grill and made hamburgers and hot dogs of which James ate nothing, he's not big on grilled food and he was anxious for me to pick him up to catch the early bus. Today they had chicken from minos and fries from KFC. James was refusing to eat again because he claimed he didn't know what it would taste like. The coach had me sit down with a plate and James would eat then. He ate one bite of the chicken and agreed that it was good, but would eat no more. He did eat the fries though.
*They were playing some sort of elimination game and I'm not sure what happened but James got eliminated but the coach put him back in because he was honest. It was some kind of disputed call. He was VERY pleased with being honest, so that's good.
*The kids are mostly all boys but they are pretty well behaved, considering. James' school class was way more out of control than this group. Part of the key might be that they exhaust them totally. These kids run and run and then they run some more. James was really tired during last nights U6 game and on the bus into soccer camp today, he lay on the back seat and rested.
*When I dropped James off this morning some kids' dad was trying to tell the coach that they need to be doing more stretching. I don't think the coach agreed.
My head is currently trying to wrap around the idea of applying for a job that my (former) boss thinks I should apply for. I am not sure if I want to as they have treated some of my friends very badly. I am not sure if it is a team I want to be part of. The main benefit that I see is that it would be permanent which would source of stability instead of all the contracts I normally work.
