Indian Wells Tennis Tournament

Every year, my husband and I manage the ball kids at the Indian Wells Tennis tournament. We just finished the tournament a week ago. For my husband and I, it was almost three weeks of nonstop work every day, several days of seventeen-hour days on only five- or six-hours sleep. We believe it all ran smoothly, with my hubby Herman at the helm calling the shots. It did take a huge toll on Herman and I. By the end of the first week, we were both physically and mentally exhausted. It will take us weeks to fully recover.
