Day 31- My Dad

Hey guys,

   I know, I know, I've been TERRIBLE with posting lately. Yesterday was a very long, VERY trying day, full of baseball and waiting, LOTS of waiting. We left our house in Lenoir at 10 o'clock AM, and we didn't even get back til midnight...fourteen LONG hours of baseball and waiting. Our day started with dropping Jack off at his practice, while I got a little practice for myself, driving practice that is!! That was basically terrible, for those of you who don't know me well, I am a HUGE perfectionistic, type A kind of a person, and I've been trying to get this driving thing down for almost two years, so driving practice has basically become, "If I can't get it perfect, I won't ever get it", and a HUGE source of frustration for me. When we had made it back to the game, I was in tears, my Dad was at a loss of what to say, and frankly, the boys probably just wanted to get out of the car as soon as possible...Three miserable hours later, the game was over, and we were ALL frustrated at losing an embarrassing 6-3, my dad, (bless his heart) bought us ALL slushies at Sonic, in an attempt to kill time before their next game. When we got back to the field, we saw that the team that we were waiting on to finish their game was going into overtime. We ended up waiting for 3 MORE hours for the game to end, (it ended up being 11 innings, and this league usually plays 7...). In that time of waiting, my dad(AGAIN, bless his heart) went out AGAIN to Sonic, to buy dinner for all of us. When the second game finally started, it was almost dark, and of course, our fields were NOT lighted, so in the third inning of the second game, we had to SWITCH fields, and surprise, surprise, we had to wait AGAIN for the team in front of us to finish. Just as we were arriving at the second field, I came down with a MASSIVE light and sound sensitive headache. My dad, being the most amazing dad out there, walked back to the car I don't even KNOW how many times to get chairs, medications, waters, sweatshirts, and numerous other things in order to make me more comfortable. All in all, I don't know HOW we would have gotten through yesterday without my amazing dad, so THANK YOU!

<3 Always,
Rose
