This post is really just for me to document the incredible hellish and then not so hellish last couple of weeks. It really is a test of human mental endurance when huge life changes are thrown at someone and the resulting ability to cope or not cope in some cases. It makes me very certain that having a solid foundation of friends and family behind you is the basis of many coping mechanisms. That may be cryptic but it is very important to make sure you have checks in place in your life just in case the rug gets pulled out from under you - in any aspect of your life.
On a way better note, we went on another tournament trip this past weekend and I have to say it was one of the best tournament weekends I have attended. Games were good, kids were not assholes and the parents were awesome. (It obviously helped that I was not hung over or tipsy the entire time! Yes, still not partaking! Mudder cannot come fast enough!)
We did have a small issue before we left for the trip. Seemed one family member was insistent he come on the trip. So sad. So very sad.
