Now I was faced with a dilemma. I really wanted my kids to be around two years apart. That would mean getting pregnant at the end of '08 or early '09. Well, being pregnant and playing volleyball does not really work for me; I tried it with Little Lady and was very sick.
So, it was either volleyball or pregnancy.
I chose to put off the next baby for a few months and do a little something for myself and I am LOVING it!!!
We had a great volleyball team. I made my sister Jana sign up
with me. She is a great player. Because of our age difference we have not ever really played together. It was so much fun playing with her! The rest of our team was made up of all the ladies that signed up on their own. We called ourselves the Eclecticats. We used our first games to get a feel for how each of us played. By the second week we were on fire! We played really well the whole season. I believe we only lost three games. For tournament we were placed in the top bracket. We started our games at 6:00. It was double elimination. We lost our first game and had about a 20 min. break before playing again. We won all of our games after that. Around 10pm we were playing the first of two Championship games. The team we were playing had not lost yet, so we would have to beat them twice. We had just played 9 games in a row and they had just come from an hour break. Needless to say, we were exhausted! We played really well, but we lost in the first game. I was so glad. I did not want to have to play another game that night. By the time the evening was over it was 11 pm. My whole body hurt, especially my feet.We did so AWESOME for a group of ladies who never played together before!! We got 2nd place!

How fun. So glad you got some time to yourself for a while. It is definitely needed! I'm with the others...can't wait to hear a prego announcement.
That is awesome! Way to do something just for yourself! I realize with families that can be tough and you might feel guilty, but remembe, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't no body happy!" Congrats on 2nd Place!
