Seven Weeks

It's 2:56am and I'm really really tired. I fell asleep just as my favorite show (from when I was like 8 yrs old) came on (Batman, circa 1966) and I just woke up. I started the day like the rest of our DTD team... with a 7am run to the high school for numbers day. I did pretty good and I was happy with my times, but still see room for improvement. Then (after changing into non-sweaty & disgusting clothing, it was off to grocery shopping and getting 7 days worth of life all managed in a 3 hr period. Came back to Aim High & dropped off lunch for the DTD team members and everyone who had been there most of the day not just training and teaching, but doing belt testing and doing it all with a smile. They were all tired, they were all sweaty, but they gave their all for every person that was testing and never seemed to complain. Everyone at Aim High, from the staff to the students pull together to make it happen for everyone. They're seriously dragging, you can tell only by looking at their more than slightly bloodshot eyes, but you can look at each family's faces and the photos from the testing days to see where all of their energy goes & how much the families appreciate it. I finally got home to a shower at 3:30pm and it was 92 degrees outside. But I can't complain. Not when you've spent your day seeing what everyone else goes through. After picking up Tina & Kaitlyn, off we went to the Girl's Class at Aim High. Holly was awesome enough to help me with the class after running with the DTD team in the morning, demo team practice, gymnastics and little sleep (she fell asleep on the 10 minute ride home). Tina was exhausted already, but came to our class and locked up for us. Jackie helped lead our group of girls in our group discussion and helped set up the healthy snacks for everyone. Team work now has a huge meaning to me. Thanks, guys...
