Here we go again

She back on the field, and I’m back in the saddle.

Okay, so not a saddle, but my rocking camping chair. That sucker has lasted the last 4 years of softball. I love that chair.

Today was the first tournament day of the fall softball season. My kiddo was awesome. I swear, that kid was born to play the sport. She’s only slightly rusty, but she was still on fire. I was also given (unsurprisingly) the book. I don’t mind, I actually like keeping the book. It forces me to pay attention to every play and it keeps me in the know. I hate watching a game and not knowing the score. Side note, there are no scoreboards in travel softball, so without the book and/or Game Changer, you’re out of the loop.

After the three pool games, we had to go to Dick’s. After new sliding shorts (her old ones need to be burned, seriously, eww), more white pants, more white socks, another water jug, a sports bra that actually holds her girls in, and whatever else she threw in basket, I left with $230 less in my bank account than I had when we walked in. Granted, she needed most of it. Especially the bra. Seriously, I made her try on about 15 of them. Basically, every single “high support” bra in her size in the store, but we actually found one that works. Best $50 I spent today.

Better go to bed now, we’re back at it tomorrow.
