He still can be a pain in the rear, especially to his brothers. He was refusing to share something with Aaron today. I got to talking with him and he told me that he didn't want to share. I told him that sometimes we have to do what's right, even if it's something we don't want to do. There are lots of times I don't want to do right, I want to do what I want to do. That's just how humanity is. Thank you, Jesus, for grace. Thank you for breaking the bonds of sin so we can even choose what's right over what we want. How often do we forfeit what is right for what is convenient or fun?Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-40923497404728421542011-02-07T21:11:00.002-06:002011-02-07T21:11:41.586-06:00ApologiesIf your car pic didn't get posted, I'm sorry.

We had a blast. We watch G-Force and both boys really liked it. We saw the Rangers beat the Tigers Tuesday night and went to the Fort Worth Zoo and had a great time. Lots of fun. I learned a lot about solo parenting and I'm not really good at it, but I got better really fast. I look forward to our next adventure. <br /><br />Football begins tomorrow, so I can officially say goodbye to my family for an extended period of time.

I think I will when school starts. I am uploading a few football films to YouTube, so y'all should go check that out. I have a change is coaching assignment this year. I'm doing freshman football and some form of HS basketball and baseball in the spring instead of track. I hate not coaching track, but have really always liked baseball and I'm really looking forward to it.<br /><br />In other news, Sunni has a doctors appointment on the 17th.

Three days in a row with a blog post is pretty sweet though, huh? Well, sweet for y'all, my fans. Both of y'all. Today was a cold day.<br /><br />McDonalds has free coffee drink for the next couple of weeks to promote the new McCafe. It's gonna be like Starbucks, except for poor people who eat at McDonalds. I will never understand how you can buy a box of Swiss Miss for $1.50, but you pay $2.39 for a "gourmet" hot chocolate at the McCafe or similar setting. Oh, and another thing. There is no longer a double cheeseburger on the dollar menu. Yeah, the double cheeseburger is $1.19. That is crap, people. They do have a new "McDouble" on the dollar menu which is just like the DCB minus one piece of cheese. They decided to tell me this after I placed my order and was taken aback by the higher-than-normal total. The single piece of cheese on the McDouble is definitely worth the savings. I don't think a piece of cheese should cost $.19<br /><br />So, Sunni and I took Kody and Aaron out in the stroller to look at some Christmas lights. That was fun. It was pretty cold outside, but they had their hoods, so it was all good...in the hood...HA! Kody decided to argue whether the sun was asleep or not. He clearly identified the moon was awake. But then he also argued the sun was awake, because the moon was awake, and he kept pointing to the moon and saying, look, the sun is awake. I mean, technically, he is right, the sun never sleeps and the moon has light because of the sun, but I seriously doubt he knows anything about that and can argue that point from that level. I am thinking he just likes to argue.<br /><br />Well then, I guess that just about wraps it up. Tomorrow is Friday. Yeehaw.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-72216440713929599902008-12-03T22:08:00.002-06:002008-12-03T22:23:18.347-06:00A good dayfor some reason, I just can't seem to feel rested. In class, it feels like if I stay silent for 5 minutes, I will fall asleep. I guess that's why I talk so much. I'm sure all the kids I teach are pretty tired of that by now. I just don't know any other way to teach. Hopefully some kids are learning something. Aside from all that, tonight was fun. After a really long day, I got to spend some qualitytime with my boys at the house. We watched the end of "Cars", and both Aaron and Kody really like that movie.<br /><br />Kody is really trying to solve problems and figure stuff out and that is really neat. He's asking "why" about almost everything. I am told I did that a lot, too. Aaron seems to be talking more and more clearly in the last week or so. He is just adorable. We were going to try to get some pictures made this week, but Kody decided to hit himself in the eye with a coke bottle last night. Sweet little shiner. He told me the lady that was babysitting called it "soda" and not "coke" and that really puzzled him and he questioned why one thing can have two different names. I know teenagers and adults who never ponder that deeply.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-48047281777250273862008-12-02T22:53:00.002-06:002008-12-02T23:04:17.134-06:00ForeverI seriously have not updated this since September 2007. That is pathetic. There is way too much interesting stuff that happens on a daily basis to keep it all to myself. For instance, tonight at volleyball, I, or the team I was on never lost a game. See, this is the kind of crucial information you have been missing out on. I have a friend/acquaintance that usually plays, but he was "busy". I think he was acting like a homophone of a city in Saskatchewan. Maybe that is a little harsh. I take my volleyball very seriously. It is 11. It's bedtime. I will try to keep everyone updated on these fascnating details of my jet-setting, rockstar lifestyle.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-61196998405179886512007-09-01T22:48:00.001-05:002007-09-01T22:51:02.126-05:00Here is the TD!This is the brightest of bright spots in the loss to Coleman.

If the dead-ball personal foul penalties can be eliminated and we will stop shooting ourselves in the foot, then things will be OK. It still hurts, though. I will try to upload a video of Prennis and his 65-yd TD run. Until next week.<br /><br />Congrats to Appalachian State for beating Michigan. Good job yo!Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-7280371792085121462007-08-27T22:22:00.000-05:002007-08-27T22:24:15.241-05:00The First Day of SchoolMan, it was a great day. I have the best job in the world. I had fantastic kids in class and everything was awesome. I am super-pumped about this year. Athletics was good, too. I think we have lots of conditioning and learning to do, but we are going to have some success this year. I am pretty excited about everything right now.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-80620748007487926212007-08-25T16:34:00.001-05:002007-08-25T16:38:24.367-05:00A Pretty Good DaySaturday work was good this morning. The film breakdown was pretty fast, and it was put in the computer easily. We headed to Austin earlier than expected. That made Sunni pretty happy, I think. We went to the Saks 5th Avenue of Goodwill stores in Cedar Park on the way to Austin. Nice stuff all those rich people donate. I got a couple of shirts, a belt and a pair of shoes. Sunni got 3 pairs of jeans, Aaron got a pair of shoes, and Kody got a book and a straw hat, and we got out of there for around $40. We are staying in the Double Tree club tonight. Aunt Bonnie is having an anniversary party and we are staying here for that. Really nice room. Super comfy bed. I am sleepy now, so I should take a nap while Sunni and the boys are out shopping with her parents and sister and her kids. Laters people.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18873649.post-60362232720438921262007-08-19T22:49:00.000-05:002007-08-19T22:53:46.504-05:00My Fantasy DraftI think I did well. I goofed on my RB's, two of them have the same bye week, but I'll try to make a trade.<br /><br />QBs - Jon Kitna, Byron Leftwich<br />RBs - Shaun Alexander, Marshawn Lynch, Mike Anderson<br />WRs - Chad Johnson, Santana Moss, Mike Furrey, Amani Toomer<br />TEs - Dallas Clark, David Martin<br />Ks - Jeff Wilkins, Nick Folk<br />DEF - Dallas, NYG<br /><br />We'll see how all this works out. Now I am going for a walk, and then probably play some Madden. Scratch that, Sunni is gonna do Tae-Bo instead. So I will skip straight to Madden.Coach Cateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12237246507599684467noreply@blogger.com0
