I Think I Need More Sleep

It’s been a long week and I don’t think I got all the sleep I need. That makes for some cranky times but I’m doing my best to fight it. I’m sure I’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight since tomorrow’s Sunday and I can sleep in just a bit.

So, do you know why I’m so sleepy (now I get tell you a little about me and my family)? Well, our daughter Brittany plays volleyball for Texas State University and their season started last Saturday. We took off work last Friday and went to San Marcos, Texas to watch her play in the their home tournament. Then we spent all day Sunday spending money on her. The team won three of their four matches and all in all, it was a good weekend.

But that’s not what made me sleepy, it was the Tuesday night game against Baylor University that started it all. Brent and I took off work at 2:00 p.m. and were on the road by 3:00. Two hours and 45 minutes later we pulled into San Marcos, stopped for a bite to eat and headed over to gym. It wasn’t a good night for the Texas State Bobcats, they got stomped, three games to one in a match that was best of five. It was 9:30 when we headed to Whataburger for dinner with Brittany, 10:15  before we were on the road again headed home.

Yeah, it was a really short night after we hit the bed at 1:00 a.m. and to top it off, the first week of the month is brutal for me at my day job. I’m an accountant and in closing the prior month’s business there are deadlines and long days. I was so glad to see Friday and get some sleep.

Brittany and the Bobcats are in Arizona this weekend playing some really good teams in another tournament we decided not to attend. They lost two matches and won one against Texas Tech. Not too bad since they kind of anticipated those losses, Arizona is a PAC 10 team and that conference is the best in country. And Santa Clara was even better, they beat Arizona.

I better be sure to get in a bunch of sleep before Tuesday as we’re going to do it all over again. They play at Texas A&M on Tuesday and then there’s another tourney at University of Texas that runs through Friday.

This is our third year of doing this as Brittany’s a Junior but why does it seem so much harder this year?
