Get off work, pick up kids, drop off, go back pick up more kids, unload chairs, camera, jackets, blankets...whew, now I get to exercise for 1 hr. This is my life since football started, CRAZY! We leave the house at 8:00 a.m. and don't get home till 8:30 p.m. I am WIPED OUT...today I laid down (my husband was taking the kids to practice for me) right after work, and decided to go to practice later. Well, I fell asleep at around 4:00 pm and didn't wake up until 7:45 pm! I missed practice, the dinner night and taking pictures for the team (I volunteered to be the team photographer...more baby steps, and I write the articles about the games to be published in the local newspaper). I feel a little guilty, but I feel really rested!
Friday, Elijah has Pop Warner practice from 5:30 - 8:00, Jullien who plays on the High School Varsity team, has a scrimmage game at 7:00 pm, and I have to find time to make dinner, (we are getting sick of fast food.) Saturday, Jullien has practice from 9-1, then a Luau for a boy (Luke) on his team who was just diagnosed with a rare blood disease and will be going through chemo and getting a bone marrow transplant beginning Tuesday.
The team will be leaving on Monday to play their first game in Hawaii (Maui) and Luke will not be able to go so they are doing a surprise Luau in his honor. It was really sad because he was COMPLETELY healthy and just got a bloody nose that wouldn't stop bleeding. I can't believe how lives can be changed in an instant. It makes you really put things into perspective. The family and Luke have amazing faith and Luke said he hopes to be an inspiration to the team this year. So I will go over at 12 pm to help set up, then Elijah has a scrimmage game at 4:00 pm. After the game we are going to the Harvest Festival at Anaheim Stadium (a Christian event), with bands and Pastor Greg Laurie will be speaking (he just lost his son last month in a car accident).
So I have a PACKED weekend...lucky I took that nap (I'm already over the guilt) LOL !
