I just wanted to post this because I am soooo excited and happy this evening and I am not getting much support here at home. I feel like a little kid with a shiny new toy, and there isn't anybody to share it with, so I picked you guys. You have given me such good advice and comfort for the anxiety and bad stuff.
This afternoon I got a call that I was selected to work home plate for a district semi-final softball game tomorrow. I have polished up my shoes and belt, pressed my uniform, fixed my hat(that would be my "cover" to our military types lol), and gotten out my Underarmor.
I don't even want to work tomorrow, I just want to umpire. My name has gone into the pool of umpires for the state championship tournament now! It's kind of a big deal in my life.

Thanks for being here for me.

Congratulations! How exciting! And be carefull back there behind the plate.
Having been a softball player I know how important that must be for you.
Keep a good eye and have fun! Report back as to how it goes for you.
Sorry you are not getting support at home ((((( Blue ))))).

Hi Blue... changing the subject just a bit. Have you heard Blue Diamonds by Rusted Root? Michael Glabicki (who wrote the song)

Nony, thanks!!!

Some day I will send a pic in my uniform. Today I was dressed in school in uniform and the some kids were saying' "do you have a game today?" I'd answer, "No, I just wear this cause I heard that men like a woman in uniform." Of course, my mind was saying "women like a woman in uniform!!!" lol. I think I will have to get the upgraded version of that to send the pic. Someone here might even ask me out, they'd be so impressed. ROFL

It was an awesome game. No mistakes and my partners and I didn our rotations without a flaw. I think we might get a district final for Thursday. I also have therapy on that day, but I'm gonna have to cancel that.

YAAAHOOOOOO!!!

No, Nell, I have not, but I will check it out on iTunes this evening. Thanks for the heads up. Will it be my new theme song?

Cat, thanks, sister.
One of my girlfriends came to watch me after work, no not a gf, but a friend. I did tell her yesterday that if she ever wanted to take a walk on the wild side, I would be there for her. lol. My dh never did show. Gee, I'm shocked.

Thanks, TiNG

IT ROCKED!! Doing these games is such a rush. I keep the self talk going all the time. My favorite phrase is "You were born for this." Yep, it was good.
