The first half of my day was spent at a special roller derby practice with a guest coach. The first 45 minutes was spent working on getting comfortable being up on our toe stops. So ya... ouch! He's a great coach and is teaching us a lot of valuable things, but I feel completely invisible at his practices. It seems like he only sees the "star" skaters, the jammers. Fine, maybe he does, but I still work my butt off out there and will keep doing so! I am determined to be a better, more confident player. There are times when I'm scared to play or to scrimmage, wishing it was over or wondering what I've gotten myself into. I hate feeling like that. I just want to love it! Once the nerves settle and I get into the game it does gets better and I start to really enjoy myself. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy derby - I just find actually playing it can be pretty scary sometimes! Our next bout is on the 15th, so here's to hoping my confidence level is just a little bit higher by then!
Then my evening was spent with my 6 month old seemingly unable to keep anything down. She threw up her supper, milk, water - anything I gave her. She's now sleeping after a big feed and fingers crossed she keeps it in her system! I'd rather not have to run to the hospital with a dehydrated baby tonight thank you very much! Luckily she doesn't have a fever and is still pretty happy and playing so I'm thinking it isn't too serious. I hate seeing my babies sick! (Though can I admit that I do love the extra cuddliness when they are sick? Is that awful of me?) Hoping that by the morning we have our happy little girl feeling better!
