Alright, so the past few months have been, you guessed it completely awesome!...just not always in a good way. Lots of drama ensued, I almost resigned my positions within my roller derby league about 6 times, and came within a quarter of an inch of walking out, just flat out quitting without any notice with no plans of looking back a few times too. Something always seems to draws me back though. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I very well could be in the Top 10 list of the Worlds Most Stubborn People, but upon some reflection over the past few days I've come to realize that the reason I have stayed as long as I have and dealt with all the drama, the fighting, the cattiness and what have you that comes whenever you have more than one woman in any room is simple. It comes down to love. Love of the game, love for my league, my friends, and especially the new girls that have yet to understand just how truly awesome a good, fun, properly functioning and well managed roller derby league can be.
Okay, now to be perfectly honest, it also has a whole lot to do with the fact that I absolutely refuse to be a witness , and god forbid, an enabler of a person on a power trip who really doesn't have anyone's best interest in mind but her own...but that's a whole other blog post.
Good news is...problems resolved! And the best part about it was that it pretty much resolved itself. What I will now refer to as "our problem child" quit the league, in a nasty,vengeful, huff while still attempting to create waves of drama on her way out, but hey whatever floats her boat! It was an epic fail anyway...every single other girl in the league came to our next practice just 2 days later. It was a beautiful sight, and I think the league will continue to grow stronger because of the challenges it's faced over the past few days, weeks and months.
I cried happy tears when she quit and have been in the best mood I've experienced in a very long time for the past 3 days.
Things just keep getting better around here!
Now, with a little less stress in that arena I can focus on the totally awesome (in a great way) aspect of the rest of my life...my husband and kids. Still, the stress of having a spouse living on the other side of the country right now, trying to sell a house, worrying about finding somewhere else to live if it sells quickly and finally moving across country this summer sometimes seem unbearable, but I'm doing it. Living day by day, looking toward the future and the awesomeness that's sure to unfold in the next chapter of my life.
