sorry this blog was written two weeks ago and was never uploaded...can't let it go to waste.
I have not updated since St.Patricks day....lame? yes I think so.
So well to cover the basics...summer was great..wish I was still on summer vacation. Football started out great Aug 1st at midnight...after working basketball tournaments in GA days prior I drove back that night, was a home for 15 mins and LP took me to midnight madness. The season hasnt been so great, on the winning side and on the injury side.
We are overall 1-6....yes and 1-1 in the conference. We took out union pines and then were viciously crushed by Douglas Byrd who hit hard and ran fast all over our defense. Its hard to watch these guys get crushed like that.
What makes it all even worse is out senior QB completely dislocated his knee 3 weeks e ago....ACL-gone, MCL-gone, PCL-partial tear. Some how both minicuses are still there! He wont have surgery for a couple more weeks allowing for the MCL to heal. Ive got a junior who tore his ACL - surgery is wednesday (hope they let me watch!) We've had bad concussion (dude didnt even know what month it was!), heat exhaustion (almost a heat stroke), cracker humerous, torn labrums, sprained MCLs....and then theres the normal bumps, cuts, bruises and more. And losing just adds more salt to the wounds.
Im conflicted though, I dont think I have another year in me for Overhills. I love it, but if me and LP move to the parsonage I will have to drive 45 mins every day one way. And the underappreciation and lack of respect is getting to me a little. I can handle it from coaches and other staff, but from the players? Its hard to take, these are the kids i invest my time, energy and degree in! they can give me a little credit no? They are not all bad! there are certianly those I love and dont want to leave them! Cleveland High School is being built a few miles down the road from West Johnston. New school....new start? Im hoping so, we shall see.
Other than all that Im working this weekend in Durham...AAU basketball tournaments...good money. But not good timing for work. Ive got a second job taking some kids to school in the AM...and of course i start the week that I have a home game everynight and football thursday and friday ...Ive been so tired and busy I havent done anything else! I have an online class that Im desperatly behind in, I just hope I can finish what i need to by the end of tonight and early tomorrow. We have half day tomorrow, no games and everything practice must be done before 3...I hope thats God giving me a few crucial hours...
As you can see I am one busy woman! haha if that covers it. :/ Most of all right now I am homesick! I hate hate hate being away from LP and maggie. I had to spend the night in creepy durham at a Days Inn that was ehhh ok....
