Long Weekend.

So this weekend was full of fun and excitement. Practice on Friday night, where I had sharp shooting pains and had to sit out the last 20 minutes, they disappeared by Saturday morning though. I made the mistake of going to a spinning class for the very first time Friday morning, so I have no one to blame but myself.
Saturday from 1- till I arrived home at 2am it was derby action where I volunteered to help out where ever I could off skates. I unfortunately did not have the funds to participate in the weekend long training and bouting. I did get some knee gaskets and gumball toe stops thought which I'm excited to use at practice tonight.
Yesterday morning with slight stomach cramping and a headache I went and got a greasy breakfast with my husband and son, which made me feel much more like myself. After my son woke up from his nap I brought him to watch his very first derby game. He was fascinated by it and kept yelling "Feet, feet! Look!" as he was amazed the woman had wheels  on their feet. And my favorite was when the pack passed us and the jammer got hit and fell and my son yelled "Uh-Oh!" and grabbed my hand to start leading me to her so I could help her up. She was back on her feet by then, but he was very concerned for her safety.
I discovered this weekend the center where bouts are held in town does not have a changing table, something good to know, and that me drunk with my derby girls includes allot of "I love you guys!" I actually only had 7 beer over the period of 5 hours, but I never drink so it hits me fast on the rare occasion I do.
