GingerSNAP!

I can feel it brewing...my red roots are starting to glow...this is a time of the ball season I have never liked. It's time to pack, sort, distribute, and organize all our stuff to get back home. I, like many in this game, have become really good at packing. However for some reason today caused much fussing at "Angie" and that "cranky shoulder" of hers. There is no reason a torn rotator cuff and labrum should slow down this veteran of baseball life!! 

After 5 hours of the packing shuffle and van loading there was a semblance of organized chaos. The van is divided into areas of priority for easy loading and unloading! On top of the regular paraphenalia to pack there is another 5 day road trip starting tomorrow--ugh!  UPS has nothing on me!!!

I do manage to get to the game ...just slightly later--5th inning!  The guys pull off  another exciting win!!  

Uh oh! I'm tired. I'm cranky. I feel a GingerSNAP coming on!  My sweet hubby who has been dealing with 16 young men all day everyday -- who all need to be handled differently everyday -- gets SNAPPED by his wife!  "Your wife has been working her rear end off today!" I then stomp off to the shower with a KIND bar in hand. "So someone didn't eat tonight?" I hear from the other room. Thankfully he doesn't see all the eye rolling!! I am in total brat mode! 

After I'm done and getting ready for bed this big gentle man grabs me by my shoulders, makes me look him in the eye and says "you did great today!"  I smirk. "And you will eat tomorrow, understand?!" I smile. Yeah yeah. 

He knows me. He isn't easily flustered by me. He wishes he could help more with the moving process--but we both knew that would be more mine when we started this journey many years ago. 

Baseball has a gypsy flair to it... A Groundhog Day feel most days.. With a tinge of the unknown always around the corner.  

I am so thankful for my partner in this crazy life!!

I am also so in awe of the gentle Savior who has known all those feelings and offers me His hand & heart on days like today. He is my Refuge and sounding board! He is the one who turns difficult days into blessings!  

My husband has kissed me on the forehead, tucked me in and told me he loves me!  Now ... what was it I was so upset about??
