Thought Sunday was over? Think again! After the airport, I came home, answered some TED emails, then got myself back out to go watch the friend I picked up from the airport play kickball with other Marine Corps wives. Apparently, this is a thing they do as team building with fellow wives in the same command. Let me tell you, it’s so intense and so crazy!
In the second inning, they have to play the whole offense holding a cup of water, yes, even while kicking. They have to reach home base with water left in the cup, or their run doesn’t count. See that girl sitting in the lawn chair? If the ball lands and hits inside the white box, it’s extra points.
They are very, very intense about this, and I don’t think I was even allowed to talk to my friend… but we texted. Ha. The ref yelled at the side lines not to coach. What fun it was to watch!
They won 15-8. Ok, now Sunday is over… well I went home and edited all the photos first, of course.
I’m really trying to stay *purposefully* busy and make time go by fast for Brian to come home. What I mean is, I’m trying to pick activities with purpose. Things that’ll fill my cup (social, adventure, good will, creativity, learning a new skill). I’m really working on figuring out what I want to do instead of doing things just to do them. I think there was a period of my life I was filling my time without really asking why, and I’m trying to be better at that. I don’t want to fill time as an excuse to make it go faster to get Brian home, I want to enjoy it. I think I’m doing pretty well so far. I don’t know if any of this made sense, I’m getting pretty tired (I think this is my sixth post today), but I kinda wanted to reflect on all the activities I’m doing.
