No Win Situation????

[Gulf Coast Blue]

OK........here's the deal.........

Feel free to comment.......or not.......

Just clearing out the cobwebs on this one...........I have already committed.....so no chance on changing my mind.......but, since y'all are my SB/weekend/evening therapists.........I hope y'all don't mind listening.

Youngest is playing in BIG Kid-Ball tournament (last of the year for them)

Area UIC is desperate for Umpires..........for this Kid-Ball tournament.........I tell him NO........

#1......I have daughter playing.......

#2.......I have not got to watch my oldest play in any tournament ball this year and I really want to watch......and had hoped to see her play this weekend.....(OK.......I only missed about 4-5 games between the two and my oldest's Rec team did NOT play any tournaments this year).......but now we are into post-season..........whole different enchillada......

I learn today that I need XXXX money down for oldest's braces for an appointment on Friday ............. sigh..........the only way I can have the XXXX money ......... (without letting some other bills slide) ...... is to umpire in the weekend tournament that my daughter is scheduled to play in.

The UIC has assured me that I will never be in a bracket that effects her team........

I have already agreed.........so bowing out now is not an option.............I just wanted to spill my guts a little........

I am NOT scheduled for Friday evening, so I will get to see my oldest's Friday night game.
