WOW what a weekend!! Friday, I met with jogging buddy in the morning for date before leaving for the weekend. We went to do some laundry and then for breakfast. After that we just hung out and talked. Then it was off to Ohio.
The drive was long, long, long. I took S13 and my other Jr. high wrestler for the 7 hour drive. The literally wrestled in the back seat of my sports car 4 of the 7 hours it took. The other 3 hours were filled with guess the song who could come up with the most inappropriate song... LOL what kids listen to now.
On the way, S13 told me about his mom bringing his dad back around. He also told me about his mom hooking up with dad. LOL so everything has gone full circle. Considering her knowing what she is getting herself back into she has little sympathy from me when things go back to their old ways. What does bother me about the entire situation is this is really going to screw up S13. He does great in school and just took 7th at the largest 1 day tournament in the world. So my plan is she likes to have nice things for the kids and brag about his accomplishments as if she has contributed to them. Since, I train him, pay for all the tournaments, pay for all the travel, all the lessons and all the camps/clinics, I am sure that she thinks she is using me to get away with not having to pay and yet still bragging. That is fine let her think she is so smart, my relationship will continue to grow with him and eventually he will be old enough and understand enough to be able to make his own decisions. He already sees the truth WW with 3 different guys in about as many weeks. I can tell just by comments he has made that he is not too fond of it.
Now bragging.... So we travelled 7 hours to the tournament. There were approximately 3000 wrestlers there competing at one of the country's largest and most difficult scholastic tournaments. As a coach I talked to my 2 Jr. High kids (S13 and another) saying listen this is a big step up for both of you just try to get one win, but if you got out there and come up short, as long as you wrestled hard I am proud. I had 4 there, 2 elementary and 2 jr. high. S13 had 41 kids in his bracket!!! He lost his first match 6-0. Then came back in his second to pin the kid, 8 grueling match (with me figuring each time it would be he last match) he came out and took 7th place. It was amazing and I could not be any more proud of him!! I never expected him to do such a great job against kids of that caliber. Here he is only having done the sport for 5 years competing against the best in the US and winning most of his matches. All I can say is OMG.
Then after a long trip home, it was off to jogging buddy's house (maybe I should be referring to her as GF now) but we got some time together and just enjoyed the end of our weekend together.
Again what a great weekend it was!!!
