It was quite the week last week and appeared that the weekend was going to fall in the same way...
Wednesday afternoon, Dizzy had to pull out of her first cross country race with more back pain. Same thing happened Thursday after school and so it was off to the doctors Friday morning. ITB muscles are inflamed and causing her pain. This means 7-10 days of rest to let them calm down and see how she is doing. Unfortunately, there is only 10 days left of her season. Aaaannnnndddd, this mom forgot her camera, so has no pictures of her daughter in her first XC season. Feeling awful here.
So, in late to work Friday, left early to head north to Bean's XC meet. It was the Great Falls Invitational, located in Black Eagle on the Anaconda Hills Golf Course...A bit confusing if you don't know the area! He had another good time, improving from last year and seems to be running well. His only comment after the game was that he hates that course. You have to like running hills (and steep hills) to enjoy this meet. He does not.
We went home and after dealing with some issues with Dizzy and letting us know what she is doing, went over to a friends home to enjoy a bonfire and time with friends. Had a great time and managed to get home earlier that we would have liked, since we had a full Saturday.
Bean had to be at XC practice (yes, on a Saturday) at 8, we had to drop Dizzy off at the gym for a gymnastics clinic (they are learning their routines) and then to the XC family brunch. It rained. I'm not saying it sprinkled a little while we were there. It rained steadily, the I should have not bothered doing my hair today rain. Back to pick up Dizzy at 11 and off to Bozeman to enjoy Homecoming at MSU.
The rotten rain ended before we got there, but we were all wet from brunch and didn't look our best.
Thanks to one of the Boss's coworkers, we managed to score a pair of extra tickets and attended as a family.
The rain quit, the wind started and I was left wishing I had packed winter jackets instead of rain gear. Oh well, it was a chance to celebrate Homecoming at our old college and enjoy(?) the throwback 1984 uniforms.
The zebras were not the best officiating team I have seen, I spent the game trying to encourage the girls to find less offensive ways to show their displeasure than they were hearing from the crowd. The Bobcats won, so at the end of the day, it was a good day.
Soccer today, Tater was the goalie for a half. Mom was scared to death, but she did great. So very proud.
No goals scored on her watch, she rushed the ball when she had to and has a great team who helped wear out the other goalie.
The rest of today is football, homework and laundry. Hoping for a quieter week next week. Off to Butte to see my brother and niece (my sister-in-law is up north helping harvest sugar beets) and watch Bean run his favorite course in XC.
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to take time to smile!
