Stress

I have decided that in order to do a blog, every post can't just be about the good days I experience here, because that wouldn't be very realistic.

This past week has been mounting in stress leading up to this first game. It's tense at practice, you can just sense it. That's a normal occurrence though. Everybody feels that nervousness before the first game of the season and like it or not it's probably going to be tense during that week. It's not the first time I've experienced that!

Yesterday, however, just started off bad for me. Every night I set my iPad alarm for the next morning. Tuesday night I set my alarm and fell asleep without plugging it in to the charger. I'm sure all of you can guess who DIDN'T wake up to an alarm in the morning. Luckily, my roommate Sue thought it was odd that I wasn't up and moving around so she knocks on my door and asks if I'm ready. At that point I did the normal cussing and jumping out if bed. Luckily we always get there about an hour early so we weren't late by any means, but it did set the tone for that practice AND the rest of the day. Basically I practiced bad (there, Morley.. There's an update for you :)

I can't wait to get our uniforms on and just be in the flow of the first game on Sunday. I'm hoping that will take some of the tension and stress away.

I think about everyone back home everyday. My nephews are already looking older and Hudson is saying legitimate words now. I heard him say "hair cut" the other day. I tell them every time I talk to them that they aren't allowed to forget me!

Thanks for reading, the next post will probably be after the game so stay tuned!

Until next time,
Jess
