Back from the Trip



The Team took 2nd place in the "Beach Brawl" tournament at SPorts at the Beach, Rehoboth DE. They played like the little pros that they are, and boy oh boy, give them a few more years and they will be just like the pros! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the games and the company. Going away with this team for us is like going away for a trip with extended family. Scott made the drive fine, and arrived at the hotel, tired, but was ready to come home when it was time. He drove home too. I am kind of glad that he did because I was exhausted. After doing, going, going, helping the kids etc. I really needed to come home. It was nice to be away, but it is nicer to be at home. I don't want to sound like I am complaining, but, I know that Scott can't do the helping with the bags, the packing the loading and the lifting, so it really was all on me. That is why I really needed to come home, I can do things without a schedule over my head. As I write now, I am washing dirty clothes, uniforms and the like!

The weather was great and I have the sunburn to prove it, mind you not from the beach, but from the ball fields! I really liked going to the complex, it is one of the nicest that I have ever seen for kids to play ball. I enjoyed hearing the ocean and seeing it from the balcony, especially the dolphins swimming by early on Saturday morning. I wanted to be home, though, I really wanted to be. In fact, I think Scott did too. I think he like myself, was feeling a little overwhelmed, I know it really did hit me on the ride home. Exhaustion and fatigue set in and I looked out of the passenger window and cried. I tried not to let anyone see it, because I didn't want to let on that I was that overwhelmed. But now, back to reality, and my stuff here.

that is all for now................................
