The Eichhorst Family Weekend Update

Friday March 11th:  Not really much went on Friday. The kids did have school and then the usual as every other day. After 3pm, kids are home and then the weekend starts.  However,  facebook scrolling got me a good deal.  Let me rewind so you will understand what happened. My lovely man doesn't listen to me. How many woman out there have mean that don't listen? Well, I told Ken this fall when we decided to drain the pool due to the water changing colors again and it to late in the year to refill it. Well needless to say he didn't listen. Well this past February. Instead of snow this year we have had a few snow days a lot of rain days and windy days. Well on one of those stormy windy days. The wind picked up enough and threw the swimming pool upward and the deck pole busted through the bottom of the pool.  Well, swimming is something in this area with children my age you really can do on a hot day.  So we have talked about Lord what are we gonna do to be able to get the children a pool. Well needless to say a lady on Facebook that actually use to be my children Parents As Teacher (Teacher) had her pool up for FREE. That right we got a four and half foot deep pool by 42 across for FREE. On top of that it is a medal pool. So That's what ended our exciting night.

Saturday March 12th:   That morning we woke up and I showed Ken and my neighbor mark where the house was to be able to start the process of taking the pool down.  Then the exciting part was I went and signed Ryleigh up for softball and I some how got talked into being a coach or assistant coach. HAHA, I miss playing softball.  That should be enjoyable. Keep a watch out for The Eichhorst Family You Tube Channel for hilarious videos.

Sunday March 13th: This day started out like any other Sunday besides loosing and hour of sleep. I mean an hour of sleep. Ryleigh had a birthday party for a friend. So we got ready and headed to the party. In which I ended up booking Brayden's birthday party. Yes, we know that his birthday is in February. But we have had so much going on and waiting to see what the weather was going to do that's exactly why we have waited. However, he went from wanting a Sonic Party to a Pokemon party! Good thing I have way over a month to plan for it!


That's the Recap of  theEichhorstFamily Weekend.

How was you guys' weekend!?

Little League

I am extremely disappointed this year in the lack of coaching support. I signed my son up almost a month ago for little league tball. I called last week wanting to know about when they would be starting practices.  One week from today exactly  they had the coaches meeting. Still after a week I heard no word from anyone regarding my son sons tball team. Today remind you one week after the coaches meeting I was in town and went by the place my son will be playing through. The place that my son playsvtball threw the employees were disappointed too hear we stilll hadn't heard anything. They gave me the coaches name as well as number to contact them myself and after calling all day. Finally got ahold of one coach to let alone to my surprise the coach whose phone kept going straight to voicemail is the head coach and she was suppose to call everyone Monday night to inform the parents that there is a practice Tuesday May 12 at a certain time. Your right that is today and I found out two hours before after already having plans. So my son missed his first practice of the year due to lack of coaching communication. What's even more funny is this coach himself, the one in whom I spoke to, wasn't so sure about anything. And another parent had contacted him curious as to when practices were going to be. This coach didn't even know where the practices took place considering this is his first year.  Sad part is they start games in less than two weeks.

My thought if you are going too volunteer to coach at least follow these guidelines as follows.

1. List a number you can be reached.
2. Similar to number one communication is the key to a successful season especially if ya want your kiddos the to play.
3. Waiting last minute gets you no where. Do as you were instructed at the coach's meeting. Because you were instructed to get a hold of your WHOLE team, not just one or two hoping that need would fly in the wind.
4. Yes I understand its volunteer and no pay but have some compassion/passion. The kids are only 5&6 year olds they get their hearts broke easily.
5. Similar to Number 4, volunteering or not you agreed to o this therefore do it. Don't be so busy with other things. If you work more than I'd say 30 hours a week job and that's pushing it, don't coach tball. If ya have a million and one other things you do that occupy you more than 50% of the time, coaching little league tball is not for you.

Am I angry? A little because after shell in out $50 for my on to play summer tball. I casmt even get the head coach to call me back.
