I have to say - this week, Friday is the best day ever, for the simple fact that I don’t have to make a loooong drive to Durham, I have a little bit of work to keep me busy ’til quittin time - along with this lovely new blogging concept, and I have absolutely NOTHING planned for the evening. Life is good. I guess I should explain…..
As a full time graduate student, full time employee, full time, not so competitive lately-softball player, dedicated mother and gf, I’m a busy girl. This particular week was filled with drama on the softball field, presentations at work and in class, new buses for the kid - along with unwanted and unneeded cell charges, which I think comes along with having a kid, and an annual review at work, not to mention a $0.10 increase in GAS PRICES - don’t get me started. Now, I know this does not sound like a lot for the average, hardworking American woman, but I am DOG TIRED….. I kept my procrastinating butt up til 2:30am Wednesday night completing my research, and then tried my best not to completely KILL my alarm clock the next morning at 6:30 in order to be to work by 7:30. Hey - what can I say? I’m an overachiever. And for some, unknown reason, I felt the need yesterday to come home from class, after presenting for 2 hours and cook a meal for 6 people just ‘cuz it sounded like a good idea. Sorry B for falling asleep on you!!! Hey, a girl’s gotta sleep, and I can’t help that sometimes the snuggles knock me straight the eff out.
So, needless to say - I am so incredibly grateful for Friday to come and just take it easy. I was a bit perturbed this morning to discover that I’ll be playing in Gaffney (not really sure where that is just yet) this weekend in an 11 team softball tournament. I was hoping for a weekend off, maybe hit the beach with the important people, but I have to go where the team goes. I’m sure I’ll feel differently once I smell the fresh grass and dirt of the softball field. I love it, but right now I hate it. Ya feel me?
