Monday moan .. weekend recap.

Monday morning and kicking our butts all the way. These new school hours are going to be the death of me, us.

Catcher Dude just doesn't get to sleep early enough so he can get up at 5:55 to catch a 6:30 bus. I am sorry, this is WAY to early for a child. But he can go to bed early, he was in bed by 8, but still be wide awake. He was still up at 11 (I believe, I was in bed by then).

He wouldn't even eat breakfast this morning he was still so tired. But then again with new time change he eats lunch at 9:55 am. So why bother.

WEEKEND RECAP ....

This weekend was nice. Saturdays games was were good. Long day as usual. Left house around 11 a.m. and didn't get home until around 9-10 p.m.

He ended up playing 2.5 games. They wanted him to play 1/2 the second game, when we planned on just leaving after the first. The first game was 6-5. Close game. Catcher dude caught most of this game. He pitched (UGH) part of the second game. When we left second inning they were tied 2-2. So I can't say what happened after we left.

We got to the third game in plenty of time with staying longer at first team longer than originally planned. LH game was a land slide. 17-7. CD was playing awesome. They are trying to train a back up catcher for this team (better get a full-time catcher as CD is looking to move on) so they pulled him when they got so far ahead. Afterwards we went to dinner. But as usual, I was done before we hit the restaurant and didn't want to be there.

Sunday one game day and windy as heck! I was miserable yesterday. The area we were in was terribly windy and without rain lately the dirt was flying. I was eating dirt. Blah! But they played well even though there was a lot of times for dirt flying. Score was 12-5 so they ended the tourney on a split 2-2 and placing 5th, Not bad.

We headed out of there in a rush as since we won Saturday night instead of pulling 10 a.m. or 12 p.m. slot we pulled 2 p. Catcher dude was to be at a try-out at 4 p. But I emailed them the night before and they still wanted him there. We actually was only about 10-15 minutes later, and it was just enough time as they just finished warming up and playing catch. Which of course CD didn't even need. Actually when we got there we found 3 other kids from his team there. LOL.

12U- Select Gold - Team with strong core group of players looking for
additional talented and dedicated players for 2008 spring/summer season. We will
be a competitive AAA team and play approximately 45-50 games including one or
two out-of-town tournaments (Cooperstown, NY and possibly KC or Columbia).

The dirt flying was just as bad there and I was DONE. Stick a fork in me I was over cooked. UGH. But I couldn't pull him and leave so I sucked it up. He actually had a great tryout. DH said that was the BEST he ever seen him play. That is HUGE coming from DH. LOL

So that is the weekend recap. Catcher Dude had a great time won all the games he played, did awesome at his tryouts, and didn't get hurt. That is all worth the eating of dirt, sitting in bright sun, and cranky as all heck.
