top 10 reasons it's ok andi no longer coaches:

1. she no longer has to get up at the butt crack of dawn for the rest of summer = staying out later!
2. weekends are free!!
3. no more traveling all over the state of mn at the butt crack of dawn on weekends for swim meets
4. no more dealing with crappy (crabby, stupid, impossibly, don't know much about coaching) co-coaches
5. no more explaining myself and my decisions to parents
6. no more dealing with swimmers excuses (which she made up most of them herself 10 years ago when she swam)
7. no more making up work outs at her other job = more time to surf the internet!
8. no more being put down by the board because they think she is some young girl who doesn't know how to coach or run a swim team, which in fact she knows how to do quiet well.
9. her friends don't have to here her complain about her co-coaches and board anymore.
10. she doesn't have to schedule time off of work for the morning after her 21st!!


so this whole not coaching anymore is starting to look up. although i miss my swimmers like no other, i'm starting to realize how much easier my life will be (see above). plus, i may have a job for for july, which is when i would be left jobless!! so i think this was all meant to be. i'll keep you posted. it's funny how life can go from crappy to being much better in a matter of hours
