Softball Hell

First of all, I know I still have the mind-set of a 20 year old but my body is clearly telling me that is NOT the case. So Friday night we just hang out because we knew we'd have to get up early for the great softball experience on Saturday. "Hanging out" stopped at about 330 in the morning. Saturday 5 am comes and getting up is not happening very smoothly. Not good. We tell ourselves, "this can't be good". But we are troopers and carry on like faithful soldiers. 7 am, in Plano meeting our new team...Seem nice enough, funny and they too obviously had long nights. Again...Not good. First game, 8 am. We didn't get beat, we were spanked (18-1). It was incredible. Now, we are tired, hungry, pissed and already starting to get hot. Second game, we win. Third game, we win. This game both Sarah and I were hurt. Sarah slid in the dirt that felt like it was made of kitty litter and small pieces of glass, looks like a really nice road rash. I did something to my quad. At this point I am playing catcher so that's not helping this leg issue. Carrying on...moving forward. Play through the pain, right? "Damn, I am getting old" I keep telling myself. And the field just felt as if it just absorbed the freaking sun. Game 4, wooo hoooo! So excited to still be playing in the 105 degree heat. We are blessed to get to play the team that just whooped the crap out of us. Great, this is so much fun. We lose, not sure the score, but wasn't the beating we took that morning (thankfully, 2 and your out). Now, it's late, hot (can't mention enough how hot it was), burned, injured and finally get in the car to make that hour drive home. During this hour home, I was stripped of any decision making or planning for our weekends. I don't really understand this as I am just trying to keep us busy and out of trouble. LOL.. That excuse did NOT work with the girls. So, I have a feeling for the next couple of weeks until I can get back into the good graces of my "partners in crime" my social life will have come to a halt. Probably a good thing anyways, HELL, I CANT EVEN WALK. Just a little sub-note, thanks Loop for the use of your pool and house. You are the best. P.S.S. Coop where are you? I think I could have used your moral support....Then again you might have disowned me as well. Also, good luck with your new coaching position!!
