Sometimes I get a little bitchy

Shut up.  I know  what you're saying, that you already knew that.

Go soak your head.

I might possibly be in a bad mood.  What?  What do you mean how can I tell?

My two best friends on the planet, Lola and Buddha BOTH canceled on me for dinner plans on Friday.  BOTH OF THEM.  Yes, my two best former friends!

And I really needed friends on Friday because I had just found out that I had been put on the B team for a volleyball tournament on Saturday.  You can imagine how well I took that....let me enlighten you,

I cried in my car all the way home, it sounded like this,

"blubber blubber blubber B TEAM blubber blubber blubber GETTING OLDER blubber blubber blubber GETTING FATTER blubber blubber blubber I CAN STILL KICK YOUR ASS (shaking fist at gods of volleyball)"

Then Saturday I played in that tournament (a charity tournament, ahem) with a fake smile plastered on my face to try and convince people that I am, in fact, a good sport. WHICH I CLEARLY AM NOT blubber blubber blubber.

Then Sunday when I should have been doing laundry I laid around and convalesced from the volleyball which made my entire body feel like a bruise.  In fact, even as I lay here in bed tapping this message out to you I am in such excruciating (physical and emotional) pain that I can barely blubber.

This weekend was hard, tomorrow will be better (props to Lily's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes).

If it makes you feel better, you can totally kick my ass in volleyball. Badminton too, I bet.

Great post. Enjoyed the recap of crying on the way home. Now I'm thinking it was a good thing I didn't make the volleyball team in 9th grade. Saved me a whole lifetime of aggravation!

On the bright side, you played for a good cause and it sounds like there were many injuries. You are not getting old!

I am so sorry you had a rough couple of days! Hope you are feeling a little more cheery now!

Okay. I'm a little concerned when I read Eastsider's comment, "I hear there were many injuries." I know my little girl and sports. She is the one who told the big burly center on the opposing basketball team in high school that basketball IS, in fact, a contact sport! I just hope my sweet little girl wasn't the one causing the "many injuries!"

Love, Mom :)
