The last two days I have been just completely exhausted. Womp womp.
Yesterday morning, I was planning on going to Bikram at 6 am just to get it out of the way since Hubs didn't have to work until later in the morning. So I set my alarm for 5:15. At 4:30, Bubs fell out of her bed and screamed bloody murder so I went to her room and comforted her and then I figured it would be stupid to try to go back to sleep, so I just waited it out and went to yoga. By the time noon came around I was dead. I was craving a nap sooooo bad. So, I took a nap when Bubs took a nap.
And then, I went out for drinks with one of my classmates and didn't go to bed until 2 am, and Bubs got up at her usual time this morning (6:30 am). So I was exhausted all day today as well. When I put her down for her nap, I took a nap as well, but that child only slept for like an hour today so I was in hell. By the time Hubs got home, I was so sick of the word "Mom" that I just wanted to hide. I feel bad. I'm supposed to be spending all this wonderful time with her before my classes start and she goes to school, but all we do all day is hang out and watch Disney or Nick Junior and go to playground for about 45 minutes. Other than that I am cleaning. I just feel like she's not getting much out of our time together. And I felt even worse today because even though she only slept for an hour, I slept longer and she just kind of played by herself in her room/the upstairs hallway. Ah...I'm a horrible parent. I think we'll probably go outside twice tomorrow instead of just once, just to get some energy out of her. She went fishing with Hubs on Monday, and she absolutely loved it. Hopefully they can make that a routine thing that they do together on a regular basis.
After I was done being a horrible parent today, I went to my first indoor soccer game in about a year. I played in the field in the first half (probably only about 10 minutes because we had lots of female subs), and then I played goalkeeper the entire second half. I made some pretty good saves, and we ended up tying 3-3. So not too bad for my first venture out in a while.
Some backstory:
I've played soccer my entire life--as a goalkeeper. I played for the varsity team at my high school for all four years and I played on some pretty great club teams as well. I've been to the state championships for both club and high school. And I've played on ODP teams (those are the teams that get you onto the National team). I played division 1 college soccer and started all but like 3 games in my entire career. I didn't play my senior year of college due to some stupid shit that I'd rather not get into, but I graduated early anyway so whatever. But I miss soccer a lot. Since graduating from college I've coached little girls teams, coached at camps, and even coached a division 3 women's college team. Now I just miss it a lot. I was playing indoor soccer a lot early last year, and then my knee started acting up and I stopped. Then I had that surgery in December and I figured that 7 months later, I'm willing to give it a go again. My knee does NOT feel 100% at all and while I've been able to run long distances, I have a really hard time pivoting and cutting and exploding off of my left leg. So tonight was little rough on the field and I didn't feel completely confident going in for tackles or making long runs. But since I'm more comfortable as a GK anyway, that part went well. I even made a last second save at the end to preserve the tie. So, go me! :) And for the record, I did wear my knee brace when I played on the field because that would have just been silly not to. Plus, it makes me feel safer when I do wear it, even if I look dumb with it on.
Anyway....so that was yesterday and today. Tomorrow I'm going to yoga in the evening because I need to rest a little bit in the morning, and then right after yoga, I'm going to go play in another indoor soccer game at a different facility with a different team. Hopefully it goes as well as tonight did. Fingers crossed. At least I know I'll be all warmed up from yoga when I get there! :)
