Cause Coach Cares
Here it is. The first blog from Kendra Edmonds of the year. Everyone is doing it!!! (excited face!) And we all know if everyone jumped off a cliff Kendra would figure there was a legitimate reason and join in a heart beat.
The reason for this blogging season… one jolly fella with a beard like snow.. no no not THAT wonderful man. Coach Davis! Our leader extraordinaire! We follow you to the edge of the media world and back! We heart you, Coach. And it’s because of us (disregarding the newbies.. you guys still aren’t officially on staff) that you won that beautiful Teacher of The Year award.. today we pat our own backs.. cause we sure as Hates know you won’t do it for us.
And it’s because of this solidarity that we care so dang much about your opinion! We crave your approval like a child craving pride from a father. I, myself, Kendra Edmonds, the girl who never gives a hoot what anyone thinks about her (hence the past 5 months of my teenage life being spent single) find myself waking every morning stressing about what to wear. Not because I long for the approval of my peers.. Nay, readers.. My desire to look fabulous comes from the fear of walking into the HTV room and hearing the dreaded phrase in that sarcastic disapproving tone: ”Well someone put effort into getting ready this morning”.
If Davis has ever mumbled anything remotly close to this at you, you can relate to the empty pit you instantly feel in your stomach no matter what you had for breakfast that morning. Of course we all just roll our eyes and act like the year of broadcast one melted us into rubber and every rude insult that comes from Coach’s mouth bounces right off our shoulders.. but who are we kidding.. we are glue! Those words stick to our souls and the ring in our ears for days to come causing us to go home and burn every pair of sweat pants we own, wake up 30 min earlier to curl our hair, and walk in like it was completely unintentional. Oh Coach.. How you effect us.
So here ya go, Yoda. My first blog. I know you’ll secretly love it but never give me the satisfaction of knowing that. So I’ll just dream on.. And hope that one day, when I’ve reached Carrie’s status.. then you’ll be proud of me. Until then..
Kendra Edmonds, signing out.
Just one “puke” of many.
