rip van winkle has awaken

I have finally been able to catch up on some sleep that had been stolen from me for two days straight. Thursday morning i had to awaken at 6:30am to my dad pounding on my bedroom door (no thanks to my youngest brother for telling him i was still asleep), forcing me to get up, feed the cats, get ready and out the door to make my brother's baseball practice. After that practice, I went home and caught an hour of sleep on the couch before i was 'wide awake'. Okay, so i was stupid to stay up thursday night until 1:00am but i couldn't sleep. AND when i did try to sleep, my mind wouldnt rest!!
I got about 5 hrs of sleep until i was woken up friday morning at 6am. Again, my brother had to be at trenton thunder for his game at 8:15am. what in the world is up with these coaches??? if i absolutely have to be up at that hour, there should be french vanilla coffee from wawa waiting for me. but, alas, there wasn't and i had to rub the lbs upon lbs of sleep from my eyes and stumble through my chores and into my clothes. I did my makeup in the truck (which, from the many bumps and brakings, it's a wonder my makeup was perfect). We arrived at the stadium about 20 minutes before austin had to be on the field and stretching. I was able to catch my breath and relax for a little bit before walking into the stadium and sit for 2 hrs. I did bring my book but with the many fouls hit by the boys i felt it was best i kept my eyes on the game rather than the print of my book for fear of getting knocked in the head with a small white round ball.
with the first game over, we came back home around 11am. it felt like a whole day was wasted! i felt so...weird. Again, i collapsed on the couch and slept for about 2 hrs. I woke up, stuffed a grilled chicken wrap in my mouth, chugged some water, and headed out the door with my family for austin's second game. this time, my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousin accompanied us. sadly, though, the guys acted lathargic. I would too. i think it was very dumb for the coaches to send the boys home and then bring them back for another game. In that amount of time the kids probably took showers (at least i hope so), ate, relaxed. you can't expect them to come back when it's hotter than it was in the morning and play another game, especially if that game is postponed due to another team waiting for photographers from ny to come see the 'major league players' (please! they're in high school for cryin' out loud!), it's just physically impossible...well maybe it's possible for some but the majority really didn't seem to care as much as they did in the morning. but, the game was played almost until dark and they didn't even put the stadium lights on for them.
today, i didn't even know it was saturday. i've been in a daze for two days and now i'm just recuperating! good thing my parents didnt make me do heavy labor today or else i would be completely spent.
tomorrow i accompany my friend jill to a church service in the second oldest baptist church in the country. should be interesting. she's obsessed with the chicken...went on and on about how i should come, that the chicken is to die for. she's soooooo beyond crazy it's hilarious.



"are you sure i'm not alright? cause lately i've been feeling fine"
