7-On-7 Shootout of the South

This past weekend, Lee took part of his football team down to Little Rock for an invitation only 7-on-7 tournament. It was a blast! Although the heat was unbearable at times, the boys were troopers and held strong throughout the day. I was amazed by how many Beggs fans made the 5 hour drive down to southern Arkansas to root on our players. These boys are truly blessed!

As I was sitting in the shade trying to get ride of a nasty heat rash that had found itself covering both of my legs, I received a dreaded phone call from a fellow coaching wife. Towards the end of the first day, despite his amazing catch, one of our players came down hard on his ankle. He was taken to the medical tent where they called me over to get him to the ER right away for images to be taken to make sure he hadn't broken any bones.

If I hadn't be "initiated" in to the coaching wives club already, that day I most definitely found my badge. My phone was ringing off the hook that afternoon. Between parents calling, hospital staff asking questions, me trying to get the player admitted to the hospital, and all the while trying to keep contact between my husband and the players parents about what was happening with him... lets just say it was a crazy afternoon! Thankfully, no major medical care was needed. A trip back to the hotel and room-service was just what the doctor ordered for all of us, to say the least!

It was that evening, as I was eating in the hotel with the fellow coaches and coaching wives, that I discovered a lovely pregnancy symptom also known as heartburn. My oh my... obviously, I had never experienced that before! I have been blessed with a easy first trimester and thankfully, that is one of the very few things I can even complain about.

Needless to say, I was more than ready to head to bed after we got all the players back to their rooms and settled down.

The next day went much smoother and our boys played their hearts out. Although we were only there for a short time, I was still very much ready to be back home. This little-momma was not a fan of Southern Arkansas' high humidity. Phew!

Now... let the laundry begin.
