I'm back from four days in Wisconsin. And oh boy am I tired.
I went as part of the Nebraska State Soccer Associations contingent of referees to the US Youth Soccer Region II Youth Championships in the Appleton/Green Bay area of Wisconsin. Eighteen of us made the trip, and ten are still there working the semi-finals and finals. (I came back early to take care of some stuff here at home.) I left the house at 6:00pm Thursday night, picked up three local refs, and drove to Omaha to meet the rest of our caravan. From there we drove through the night in time for a 5:00am breakfast in De Pere, Wisconsin. I rather stupidly drove the entire way rather than catching a few hours of sleep in the car.
We each had two games each day on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. My assignments included three centers, two ARs, and one 4th official. I did fine, but let's just say I would have preferred to have been more rested.
The eight of us who left Wisconsin last night took off around 5:30pm and we once again drove through the night. This time I was smart enough to get a few hours sleep, and I slept a bit more when I got home. My body doesn't feel like I slept at all, though. Ugh.
Today is ketchup day with work and family life. It's also the first day of some exciting projects here at the house. More on that later.
I'll be back to commenting on Lincoln area shenanigans soon. For now, though, it's time to get to work. It's good to be back!
