Oh, My Aching Back

Wow. Guy and I entered a soccer tourney together yesterday and this morning I needed help getting Berch into the jumpy seat. Somehow, our mid 30s non-gym-jogging-type team managed to win 2 and tie one, leaving us to play the 4th playoff game. I think at that point we were all sort of "WTF??!!??" It was nice to get out for a whole day of activity and to see the old team again. My Monday night teammates are more old workmates of Guy's who don't even work with him anymore, but this tourney was members of the original VFFC (the Velvet Fog Futbol Club) from when I learned to play soccer a few years ago.

I contacted a friend about a possible full time position at a company near our house. I could conceivably ride a bike to work, which would be awesome, but I'd be working full time, which would mean both Guy and I would miss the best of the Bean. Yesterday the kid was broken from 5pm on, and I was once again reduced to putting a pacifier in his mouth to help him fall asleep because he was so overtired and beside himself. I'll need to start looking for some freelance first before I make a decision on that.

I think I am still tired. I fell asleep at 8 last night, in the chair reading the NYT. Guy tried to wake me to watch Six Feet Under and I said, "Garrrlugh" and got up to go to bed. I had an athletic cut tank top on, which I took off so I could remove my bra, and apparently I put it back on backwards (so that was what that choking feeling on my neck was). Guy mentioned it to me but at that point I was under the covers and falling back to sleep, so backwards it stayed. And this morning I was BEAT, trying to stay asleep as the Bean chirped and squealed next to me in bed and Guy was shaving his head in the bathroom. I heard Guy come in and say to Berch, "Hey, let's let mom try to sleep!" and I thought, awww, he's taking him into another room to let me sleep a little more. Instead, letting me sleep consisted of moving Berch out of the range where he could pull my hair over and over and over.... I decided to get up shortly after that.
