Rewind back to classes, at this point, I am really wishing that I would have kept better track of what I was doing and when. So I'm working thru the Orange curriculum and enjoying every second. I'm getting lots of time at home with family, life is good.

     When you have kids, you want them to have fun, be active and hopefully find something that they are passionate about.  Anytime you have to push them to do something they don't want to it becomes a struggle for everyone involved. They are still little at this point point so you put them in activities you think they might like, the majority started by 18:00 and were done by 19:30. Kathryn started dance and T-ball, James just T-ball. None of these activities interfered with Kung Fu because they were early or were on opposite days. Worked for me so still didn't miss many classes.

   That quickly changed, the next fall hockey needed an assistant coach and that conflicted with my classes  but only occasionally so still good, just more rushed. That spring tho while still running around with hockey, baseball starts and they also need help and coaches and that spring I left Kung Fu for 3 months. There was just no way to coach and make it to class in time, they were on the same days. Sifu Brinker was not really excited about that fact, probably believing I wouldn't return. Well...still here.
