This is a girls trip and it us way fun. I love my seester and mom!
The monster within is the intense anger that I sometimes experience.
Over the years I have gotten very good at keeping that monster in
check. When I do let the monster get the best of me, I often feel
stupid and embarassed. Yesterday, while playing softball and losing
23-3, I took a pitch that looked low and long. It was a strike so I
was out. I then lost it and threw the bat to the fence. It didn't go
anywhere near anybody but as soon I did it, I felt stupid because I
knew that I had lost control of my anger. I would not have been a good
example to my students of good sportsmanship. Hopefully I will be
better in the future. One of the umpires came up to me and said:
"usually when a player throws a bat, I would kick them out if the
game. But in a game like this, that would just add injury to insult."
I was glad he was nice to me. I think I may feel a little idiotic for
a few days!

I'm sorry you had a terrible game. I know about the anger though, sometimes you just want to break something. But remember when Caleb punched a locker, the only thing we thought he broke was his hand.
ReplyDeleteHope your girls' vacation is fun! We miss the midwest a lot! But we're glad to see you soon!
