The new job is great, so far. Everyone is very nice, and once I get up to speed, I'll be able to do some really cool things. This is quite a schedule-juggling week, though!
Yesterday I was very tired, as I was still on the stay up late/sleep 'til noon schedule. I crashed at about 9:30 last night, and got up at 6:30 this morning, so I've quickly broken myself of the old way of sleeping. Today, A. had a softball game, on the Sammamish Plateau, at 6:00. Thankfully, she has a friend who also goes to the Y after school, and is on her softball team, so her friend's mom took her to the game.
I left work about 5:20, walked about 6 blocks to my car, as I haven't gotten a parking pass yet, arrived at the school to pick up Katrina at 6:00, where she was marveling over my lateness. We left the school and jumped into the extra-fun traffic going to the Plateau, swung through McDonald's for a snack to hold us until after the game, and got to the game about 6:45.
Tomorrow we need to leave the house extra early to stop at the grocery store and get stuff for the girls' lunches, as we are sadly out of any and all lunch-type foods. Then I need to dash back to the eastside after work, as I'm leading the last girl scout meeting of the year, which starts at 6:15. Abby has another softball game Friday evening, too.
Abby did great at her game today. Got hits all three times she was up to bat, and got one run. Our team totally stomped the other team, to the point where the parents in the stands were glad that there was no scoreboard so that the other team didn't feel quite so bad. The girls have improved so much from their first game, especially with their field work. It used to be that they over or under threw everything, and now they are making some solid plays. One girl even got a double play today, as she caught the ball and then tagged the base that the runner had gotten off of! She drank her whole bottle of Gatorade that was in her bag, too. Feeling so bad Saturday night must have motivated her to drink up!
