New ump here .. first year .. and before today a grand total of 4 games.
Mid-season tournament is this weekend. Got assigned to two 8U games each day and was very happy with that

. Apparently the 8U UIC had a bunch of umps bail on him at the last minute

. So my 2 games on Saturday turned into 6 and my 2 on Sunday turned into 4

. My 16 year old daughter was also called in to do 3 games. After my 4th consecutive game I was about to fall over so she rescued me and did my 5th game so I could catch a break before my 6th.
So, it's Saturday night. My heels hurt, my knees hurt, my thighs hurt, I got hit in the nads .. so my (you know whats) hurt. I'm sun burnt .. bad. It was a beautiful day, high around 85 degrees, and even though I drank water all day I still came home dehydrated .... and hungry, but didn't really feel like eating much. As I type this I'm starting to nod .............................. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
