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.

Hellooooo, women! and SB!
I got the call this evening to do a district final game!!! I am going to be on first base tomorrow for the event. What to wear....oh, yeah, don't have to worry about my purse matching my shoes, etc, I've got my ever so attractive uniform!!! I look just like those guys on TV, well, except I'm only 5'3" and I've got boobs. I think some of them have manboobs, though. ROFL!
I am overwhelmed and jumping up and down right now. God, I hope I don't screw up.
You won't screw up... but if'n ya do, just make sure it's not a baseball off the
worlds undone
THANKS!! Ummmm, nobody cheers for the ump. I have tried for 36 years to get the dh to see the technical aspects of what I do, but it is all for naught. Sometimes I get the call wrong, I'm only human, after all. (heehee, my therapist makes me say that. I just want to be perfect) It's being in the right place at the right time, in sync with the other guys (yeah, they'll all be men--shocking isn't it), and THEN getting it right. Most people on the field never watch the officials. We can be smooth as silk, though, if you know what to look for.
Okay, I'm a little charged right now and keep yammering on. Sorry. I can't help myself right now and YOU know how fast I talk. My fingers can barely keep up with my thoughts.
I wonder if I will sleep tonight. Might have to seek some tylenolpm help. Or not. God, this is amazing and I hope the feeling never goes away. Sorry guys, I am beyond redemption right now.
This ranks right up with the college championships I did at the beginning of May.
THAT was a rush, too.
Hugs to all you patient folks out there and you too, Caly.

Only if I'm bathing with somebody and I just can't do the calories with the wine tonight. There are other things, though.... ;)

Why, thank you, Cat. It comes from having to keep all the kids entertained every day. I do at least 5 acts a day! I think Laurie and I could do a bang up job at stand up. We are both evil and wild enough to play off of each other all night long. Of course, she is the expert and I would defer to her on all the technical aspects and I would have to get my timing down. :)
Hugs
