Overworked

Maddie’s P.O.V
Today I’ve got an away game. The album is finally written and I’m moving onto recording later this week. I said goodbye to Harry and the kids and drove to the venue of the match. I pulled up and went inside. The others turned up a bit later and we all went into the away changing rooms and got ready for warming up. We were allowed out onto the pitch and practiced all sorts of techniques for a while and then had to get into our kits. The first XI was read out and again I was in it. We got ready and stood in the tunnel next to the other team. We all walked out onto the pitch at the same time and weren’t surprised not to see much of an away crowd. We shook hands and then got into positions. The ref blew the whistle and it was time. The ball weaved between both teams and there was about a 55:45 possession to them. We weren’t doing badly. In the first half we scored 1 goal but so did they. We went into the changing room and everyone sat down and started drinking our drinks. I’d forgotten how much of a workout soccer is. The team was given some changes by Karen at half time but I was still in. We prepared ourselves for the next half and then went back out onto the pitch and got into our positions again. The whistle was blown and everyone went towards the ball. Our team got it and it was swiftly passed between us all towards Robinson who is playing upfront with me. She went for the shot but it was caught by their goalie.
“C’mon girls! We can still do this!” Poppy shouted in encouragement. Their goalie kicked the ball up to the other side of the pitch where Wood headed it back towards Roberts. It was put back onto the ground and we kicked it around until it got into a good position. I got in front of the goal and Toya passed me the ball. I kicked it towards the goal and the goalie went the other way, giving us the goal. I smiled and ran to the girls as they hugged me. The rest of the game went smoothly and we won 2-1. It always feels good to get a win, no matter what the game was like. We all walked off the field into the changing rooms and Karen came in.
“Good play out there girls, get changed and you can head off apart from the selected ones to be interviewed today.” She said and we all nodded. I’m not one of the ones selected and I’m glad because I just want to get home and spend time with the kids. I got changed back into my clothes and picked up my bag.
“I’ll see you all next week. Who knows, I might come to training this week.” I laughed saying goodbye to the other girls. They all chorused bye and I walked out of the changing room. I always get changed quicker than them because I have to do quick changes all the time. I said goodbye to Karen and the coaches and then walked out of the stadium. I got back into my car and shoved my bag into the passenger foot well. I drove home and got back at about 6.30. Well at least the kids will still be up. I parked my car and grabbed my stuff getting out. I walked inside and dumped my stuff by the door. I could hear my lovely family laughing outside so went to see what they were laughing about. They were all in the pool splashing each other and I laughed too.
“You did really well today Mum!” Adam said.
“Thank you honey,” I smiled at him and went inside to get my laptop. I went back out and sat down on one of the pool chairs with it. I did some of my work and then put it down watching Harry and the kids. Even the twins were in the pool but Harry and Brooklyn were holding them. I kind of want to go in but I kind of don’t. I’m not going to; I’m just going to watch them. We all stayed out in the garden until it got dark and then I took the twins downstairs, bathed them and put them to bed. They looked so cute asleep and I smiled before going upstairs. Harry was sitting on my laptop. “Whatcha doing Mister?” I asked going to sit next to him.
“Checking my emails,” He said and I saw him read a few before he put the laptop down. “Congratulations on scoring a goal baby,” he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me. I sat on his lap with my head in his chest for a while and then he took me up to bed. I got changed into my pyjamas and went to sleep.

Notes
Right, I'm in the process of writing chapter 99 right now and that's not even onto the 8 month tour so I'm thinking if I finish this story with 100 chapters and then make another one for the tour and sequel, that would be a better idea but I want to know what you guys think? What should I do? Please comment opinions.Day 84
