So I've talked about Matthew's baseball coach so you all know how I feel about her. This first rant will further explain why I have a problem with this woman.
A few weeks ago was Matthews team pictures. We arrived early, like we were asked by the coach, and then had to sit and wait for the coach to show up. While getting ready for the group picture the photographer noticed that Matthew didn't have his hat. Matthew lost his hat sometime after his first game and we can't find it anywhere at the house so I'm guessing that he wore it to school and left it there. I told the coach that we lost the hat she said "I have a extra hat, here" and gave me the hat. She said nothing about her just letting us borrow the hat for the pictures or that we needed to give it back. After the pictures we had a baseball game so there was plenty of time for her to say something about the "extra" hat.
Last Thursday the 16th we had a game. The coach started having problems with Nick and I when we noticed that she hadn't put enough of our players out in the field (we needed one more player) she didn't even acknowledge us when we asked if we had enough players out. She kept looking at her papers then finally sent a boy out into the field. This shouldn't have been a problem we were just trying to help. She then glared at us for the rest of the game and wouldn't respond to anything we said.
After the game we passed out the treats and one of the boys couldn't find his hat. Everyone was asked to look at their hats to see if they might of picked up the wrong hat. Nick took Matthews hat off and saw that it didn't have his name written in it (something he learned to do from last year). I tell Nick we lost Matthews hat. This is when the coach remembers the "extra" hat and starts yelling at Nick.
Coach said "you told me at the pictures that you had left Matthew's hat at home, now your telling me that you lost the hat"
Nick wasn't at the pictures and had no idea what she was talking about and therefor could not have told her anything. Both of us are now surprised by her yelling at us about a hat and calling us lairs. All I can think to say is "I told you we lost Matthew's hat and you said you had a extra". She glares at me so I take the hat off Matthews head and give it to her and we walk away. Back at the car we pack all our stuff in and the family who's son couldn't find his hat find out their son's hat had never left their car. I look back to where the coach is standing. She is standing there holding the "extra" hat red faced talking to her family pointing at us. I so want to go talk to her but Nick says it wont do any good. I just can't believe that she would be so nasty to us over the extra hat the the city sent with the other hats.
Last night Matthew had another game and all day I was worried about going. What if she continues to treat us badly? What if she was rude to Matthew? Nicks idea was to stay as far away from her as we could. But I was worried that if we weren't close to Matthew that we wouldn't know what was going on and the coaches husband likes to yell at the boys on the team when they aren't doing what he thinks they should. So I pick to put our seats right by where the boys will be sitting while waiting for their turn to hit.
Thinks were so odd. The coach acted as if nothing had happened at the last game, she even tried to joke with me. I don't know how people can do that. I am the type of person who has to have closure. I can't just pretend that it never happened. But this time I will because we only have to deal with this coach for only one more game and as long as she treats my son good then I'll just forget how nasty she has been in the past.
Wow that is a lot of complaining so sorry but I feel better getting it out and that's what blogging is about right?
Now I'm thinking that I shouldn't do anymore complaining but the next bit I need help with so ...... here I go.
Last night was really a tough one for me.
Kaitlyn is the perfect baby, but when she does have a problem there doesn't seem to be anything that I can do to help her. So I need help.
Kaitlyn woke up at 11:34pm I did the typical 5 min wait before going into her room. I then stick to the "rules" I didn't talk to her or pick her up. I gave her blankie back to her and turned her sound machine on and left the room. This is usually all that needs to be done (like I said perfect) but it didn't work this night. I got back in bed and watched the clock while I listened to her cry for 5 more min. Waiting for the 5 min just breaks my heart but I know that it works so I hold off and watch the min tick by. I go back into her room and this time I pick her up, hold her close and do the mommy dance. This does nothing to stop her crying and so I know that there will be no sleep for me (been here and so know what to expect).
I now go through the check list.
Is her diaper messy? No.
Is she too hot? No
Is she cold? No
Is she thirsty? No wont drink any.
Is she hungry? No, she wont eat anything?
So I hold her humming lullaby's and do the mommy dance. She keeps crying. I try to lay down with her thinking that maybe this will help. Kaitlyn flops around trying to get comfortable still crying a bit. Finally we are laying still with no crying. I think this is it so I wait till her breathing is even then slowly get up and lay her in her bed and sneak out of the room. As I'm pulling the blankets on me I hear her start crying again. I roll over and look at my clock 1:55am so I lay there listening for 5 min and we start over. In her room I pick her up again and we lay down again, if it worked last time maybe it will work again. Nope she's not going to fall for that one again. So we start at the top of the check list again. This time I am able to get Kaitlyn to eat something and take a few drinks. Back in Kaitlyn's room I lean against the wall with Kaitlyn laying on my chest and hum lullaby's again. Within min she is quiet. I listen to her breathing waiting till she is further in sleep. Very carefully I lay her back in bed and again sneak out of her room. Back in my bed at 3:15am. It feels as if I just fell asleep when I hear Kaitlyn crying again. Now I'm so tired and very frustrated, I roll over and look at the clock, 3:30 am, almost a half an hour sleep. I wait the 5 min and then climb out of bed, stumble into Kaitlyn's room and nearly yell at my poor baby. I immediately feel like crap. Obviously something is wrong its not her fault and I should never take it out on my poor innocent baby. I pick up my baby, hold her close to me and whisper to her "whats wrong Kaitlyn? Tell me what I can do to help you". I sit back down, give her another drink and hum to her again. This time it takes a while for her to fall back to sleep and I don't climb back into bed until 4:47am. I don't wait up again till Nick wakes me for my goodbye kiss before leaving for work (normally I wake when he leaves the bed to shower but I slept through him showering and dressing, guess I was really tired lol). Unfortunately Kaitlyn wakes just before Nick leaves the house. So I don't know why Kaitlyn wakes up and how to get her back to bed quickly and keep her asleep. I need any idea's that anyone can give me. I don't want another night like this and I'm pretty sure that Kaitlyn doesn't want to either. HELP PLEASE!!!!
Alright I'm done and will promise to not do this much complaining ever again.
