Hoping for less stress and more success

This week was a stressful one.

• I was frantically trying to get things finished for a move.  I had my landlords (my parents since I have been living in the house they unsuccessfully bought four years ago with the dream of flipping it quick for a major profit which is now a significant loss) fill out the forms about my rent history.  I had to have the new renters come by my place for a home visit (never heard of people doing this before letting you move in).  I signed a lease.  I got the keys to the new place.
• I missed two days of practice and one track meet because of the housing madness.  I have to say, that it was a bit worrisome to be away from those two days of track, but at the same time, it was wonderful to be home earlier and still have a good portion of the day left.  
• I had only four kids show up to practice one of the days I was gone.  Four out of at least 20 who should have been there.  The next day, I went off and had two of the athletes proceed to pout like three-year olds.   Fortunately, one of my assistants dealt with it before I snapped and forced them off the team.  
• The lack of commitment from the athletes led to me only entering 2 of the 30+ sprinters into our Saturday meet. 
• The meet was decent.  Saw a lot of old friends.  One commented on how he missed me and my ability to make him laugh.  That meant a lot.  The host school did something completely unheard of... had a massage table in the gym for the coaches to utilize.  I have never gotten a real massage.  It.  Felt.  Great.
• Today, after finishing this and eating breakfast, I pack.  I organize, throw whatever is left to throw a way away, and I pack.
• Tomorrow, movers arrive at 8:30.  The last time I moved, I hired movers, and I really don't even understand why anyone would ever move things on their own.

I am glad I successfully found a place in such short notice.  And I am glad that I am able to coach the kids successfully and am getting better at showing them natural consequences.

I am always glad for good company and caring friends.

Hopefully, this week is less frantic and full of more joyful moments.

I feel as though I can see successes in the short-term, but am not sure what success means for me in the long-term.
