The past 4 days was the State Tournament for both of the girls teams. In the past, Sacred Heart has never done any better than 6th place. Thanks to lots of hard work and a will to win, both of their teams placed 4th this year. I could not have been a more proud mommy on the sidelines than I was this week. I am so blessed!! Seriously....tears of pride and joy!!
Just to point out the "night and day" difference between my girls and give you all a good laugh (especially the ones that can hear Joce saying this), Kay's game was a heartbreaker....tied 9-9 in the 6th inning and then they lost 11-9. She came out of the dugout, holding back tears (barely) and was so sad to see it end. She is my die-hard, play til you drop, kinda kid. She wanted to keep going in the tournament. I comforted her, hugged her and told her that I think she is amazing... and I truly do.
Joce on the other hand, lost 13-2, single out for the last out of the game, came out of the dugout into my arms, where I comforted her and said all the right things, to which she replied, "Can I PLEASE get something to drink?!?!" COMPLETELY unfazed by the turn of events in her day....just could she get some water?? "MOM!!! I just played a whole game in this heat!!" " I need some water" Gotta love her!!!
Marshall and I sat and looked at pictures of the girls last night from the weekend and could barely tear Jocelyn away from the Miss Universe pageant to see the shots of her!! Is this really the same girl that can catch a ground ball at shortstop and make a double play?!?!
