crazy but fun

that is me, i suppose, in comparison with most others, i am way older than the kids i play with, hustle more, sleep less, and do a whole lot more different things as a routine part of my work and play than most others around... so here we are, whatever time it is, and i';ve got to be on the field around 9:30, which is less than four hours... so i will sleep less than three hours... and then, hustle out to play softball...

the drama is not over for the sunday afternoon team it seems as the drama queen, as he shall henceforth be known if he chooses to continue to be part of the team, is demanding a face-to-face apology before the game next week and i am not playing that drama he seems to love on the field... that is part of what has been wrong with the team for the two seasons since we let hime join the team (after his previous team dissolve due to drama)... everyone else seems satisfied with my email that was meant to apologize for any hurt feelings and clear the air about leaving the past behind and moving forward... drama queen wants to bring it into the next season and he's using jackson as a go-between which is driving her nuts... i told her to tell him she's out of the loop and if he has complaints or issues that were not resolved in the email, then he needs to man-up and call me himself and cut the dramatics... he and his shadow (a kid who follows his lead and followed him from the previous team) have the least to be upset about and i approached his shadow after the game and his response was the game is over and we should let it go... but apparently drama queen convinced him otherwise... if they contact me i'll simply repeat what he said, that was last season, that game is over, and they need to let it go... drama queens can be poison to a team...

meanwhile, much fun at the birthday party game night in spite of the text message interruptions and the call to calm jackson... she's so caring and sensitive that it eats her up inside when conflict happens and she's sucked in... hopefully my telling her to wash her hands of it and redirect any issues to me helped... and meanwhile, i better try to sleep a bit...

hope your life is as active and exciting (but with less unnecessary manipulative drama)...
