Ohhhhh this week.

It just needs to end! I am wore out. I can not take one more mama drama. I just can not!! Mama Drama, Sista drama, school drama, work drama, kid drama. All in 70 hours.

I kid not when I say I like my small circle. Close. Quiet. Yes! That is me. Just the three of us. It is simpler. Quieter. Drama free. No matter what those around me believe .. I do NOT like DRAMA! I hate it. To be frank!! I do not like my kid, even though he is 13, stirred up and sent in a whirlwind.

I see it more and more everyday why I keep my circle of life to DH, DS, and I. Going out of the circle, just asking for trouble. Period!

Stepping off my soap box.

Next Item of Business our weather. What a tease! You actually made me believe you actually was on a warmer trend. Now your all cloudy, cold, and threat of rain. That is not playing fair!

We have a nice lil game to play on Sunday and contrary to beliefs we do not enjoy sitting in 50 degree temps with rain. Thanks, but please straighten yourself out and cancel that ugly forecast and bring on a nice outlook. Thank you! Signed, Baseball Mom

A nice ending to today I was left an award today. So that at least is a little rainbow at the end of the stormy weather lately around here. I will blog tomorrow about my award. I all of a sudden am wiped!!

Evening!

As Charlie Brown would say ....

As Charlie Brown would say, “Good grief!”.

I really thought the whole jelly bracket fad had faded out. I guess that was the wrong assumption. Catcher Dude came home tonight talking about how the girls all wear bracelets now. Yep he got my attention in just this one sentence. I knew where this conversation was going.

me: Really?
Cd: Yep! They are plastic.
me: We called them Jelly bracelets. (should have seen the jaw drop .. lol)
Cd: YOU had those bracelets. MOMMMMM!!!
me: yeah, and they were just that. BRACELET'S. Now they have a completely different purpose than when Madonna & Cyndi wore them.
cd: Who is Madonna & Cyndi ..... LOL!!

Conversation continued back and forth some more ... to where we get to this part ...

I really thought they had past this "stage". But the evening only got worse when he was asking me what color meant what. Course I have no clue, but I am more interested in if he was partaking in the "snapping". LOL. Finally (who knew the worm I was
opening) I said I would look up and see if I could find a ridiculous list of colors and meanings. Yep there was. But TMI was brought in play.

He really wanted to know a meaning of a certain color. Seems a lot of girls are wearing one certain color and would not share the "meaning".

Hey Catcher Dude ever heard, "Curiosity killed the cat"?

So .. I share the "meaning" which (is willing to perform anal sex)I get this look .. a blank stare .. *blink ... blink* "Oh! Okay! Thanks."

Then I did it. *sigh* I asked, "Do you know what that means?" (Mom! Why did you ask? Why - o - why????) No! What does it mean?

Now let me stop and say I wish I had video taped the look and expression that he made. I still can not think of it with out tears and laughter coming across.

So I explain and his eyes get WIDE. He grabs his butt and covers and tucks in one quick motion. While shouting, "OUCH!"

Oh MY! It was priceless. There is a MC commerical for you. ROFL!!

Now don't get me wrong .. I love my mommy moments, and that sure is one. Even tops this one. But I just never thought these would be my mommy moments now. What happen to first words, steps, awards, etc ..

So that was my evening!!



Baseball Mom

Here!

HERE!! I am HERE!!

I am not sure what in the world is getting in my way of blogging. Stay-at-home mom. One child. I should have all the time in the world correct? So what on earth could it be?

Oh yeah! I just remembered! LIFE! Doh!

I do not know what makes me think things are going to slow down. The season is just getting cooking. But really I am tired already. Maybe the time change, nah! I was tired before that. So soon I hope things settle down. I like being busy. But come on!!

Yesterday was a drama day and a half. All I simply did was call my damn, PITA sister to find out if she had her kids covered for my surgery dates. As I need my mother to give me a ride. Yes - BTW you did read that correct. We have to beg borrow and plead for my sister to take her own children. She leaves at least 1 if not both with my mother ALL THE TIME! The one does live full-time .. oh I am not starting with that whole story DRAMA. So it of course stirred a whole hornet's nest of drama. *rolling eyes* This is why my world only expands to DH, DS, and I. Much less drama, much less hassles. But DH can not be in 2 places, so I had to *gasp* ask for help. *faint* The nerve of me!! So that said. I am looking into seeing if the hospital has a transportation system that could help me out. I want out of the drama-loop.

We had such beautiful weather last couple days. Now it is cold and rainy. Booooo!! Outdoor practice for team #2 is supposed to start Thursday but I don't see it happening. Sunday there is a game for team #1. Rain in forecast, so I don't see that happening either. But I was looking forward to seeing them play Sunday. A "W" would be nice as well. Nice way for mom to celebrate. Ugh! Sitting here I just remembered I have to go buy baseball pants. Oh! I though I was done! Okay .. hold please. Alright, went to start my what to do today list.

I originally was going to do a 10 on Tuesday list, but I am going to have to cut this short. Maybe later this evening.

Happy Tuesday!!

Sitting and waiting

Okay so kid is at his 2 hour Staff class. So I sit here bored. The weather is calling me out. This is the last activity for Catcher Dude today. Finally! We have been running since 8 this morning. We are going over to my moms after while for dinner. They are Q'n. Nice weather for it too.

So while I sit and wait I thought I would share some fun freebie finds for you.

Dove Hair Therapy System with Serum - Choice of 2 FREE Samples!

FREE Sample of Goodnites Sleep Shorts
The GoodNites Boxer Style offers a new choice for kids that give them trusted nighttime protection in a cool new style.


8 more days until another birthday rolls around. You know funny story DH and I always get questioned when we have to give both our birthdays. It is not the same date. But they seem to think we have given them wrong information.
"I said 15 this time not 23."
"No that is correct."
Duh!

Actually Catcher Dude will be playing in game on the 15th. *smile* Nice way to spend my birthday. *crossing fingers for warm weather & no rain*
What can I say DH like them older. LOL.

I am really excited Spring Break is almost here. Just 4 more school days. Then out for 10 days (counting weekends). Not sure what we will do. If anything other than the norm of practices, clinics, and TKD. If the 1$ show still has Twilight I would like to make sure CD gets to go see it. Since he was burned by those who said they would see it with him when it first came out. If not there is certainly something we can see together. I know .. I know .. not really cool to be seen in a theatre with your mom. But I am sure you can muster up the courage. LOL.

We got the schedule for the first team yesterday. So it is getting closer. I am getting excited. Especially since weather has been wonderful last two days. So soon that is all you will hear from me. Stats, scores, and brags. Because that is how I roll. Okay, so I promised kid I would stop saying that, tee-hee, but this is my blog. So deal!!

Okay! Well I promised I would watch last 30 minutes, so I best me getting my bum in.

Happy Weekend everyone!!

HAPPY HAPPY FRiday!!

Good Morning. It is a beautiful day!! Temp is currently 66, with a high expected of 72. The sun is shinning. It just seems for the minute the dark stormy clouds we have been under lately is lifted. Even if it is just for the moment. I will take it.

Things are on track again(again least for the moment) and busy is falling onto the day. But with fun things. Catcher Dude has No School Today. He is off to TKD in about 1/2 hour. Then he is meeting his 5 year old PITA cousin at the skate rink to try and teach her to ice skate. Then later we are off to practice. So least we have fun up lifting light hearted things to do today.

This weekend is as always a action packed adventure as well. So though we might not actually be free, things are looking up. Looking brighter. It is a wonder what warmer temps, and sunshine can bring on.


Also .. I was not going to say anything, but the Anonymous Poster on Wednesday .. Please do not return! That is just fine!! Though you said you would not return so you should not see this. :0)~ HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Back .. and in review ..

So I missed blogging. I missed reading the blogs I follow. I have been missing a lot. So hopefully things will calm down and I can get back into my grove. :)

So as I catch up around here I will touch on what has been keeping me busier than a bee.

Tuesday 24th - Kid woke up feeling ugh, and really wanted to go to the Free IHOP Pancake day. He missed the last couple years when dad dude and I went so I thought, "heck why not?" Dad dude couldn't go. So catcher dude twisted my arm was told he could go. I for some reason had to go change the laundry around and when doing so what did I find in my washing machine ...

Catcher Dudes iPod. *thud*
He left it in his jean pocket and when he tosses laundry down to be washed, for what ever reason dumb mom I didn't check pocket before I put them in laundry. UGH!!! I always check. Even though I repeatedly tell everyone, Check pockets!! Check pockets!! How many times do I have to tell ppl around here to CHECK AND CLEAR out pockets.

Parts of me felt horrible. But then I thought, how many times have I told him? CD is devastated! It ruined breakfast. He didn't even eat his free pancakes. :(

But he just batted his baby teary hazels @ his nana and they returned with a new. So let me get this right? You start the day with a iPod Nano and leave it in the wash, ruine it, and end the day with a iPod Touch? Yeah! That makes sense to me!!!

Then there were issues at school with the PTSA. I have never seen so much drama between members in all my time dealing with PTA's at all the schools he has attended.

Wednesday 25th - Back to School. Back to normal life. Or so we thought. Until the phone rang. My Step-Dads brother is missing. He left a suicide note, and can not be found. Oh dear! He was found later in the day .. unfortunately he thought he didn't have any other choices. This really hit my step dad. He was close to his brother. He had just seen him the weekend before. He left behind his wife .. 10 kids .. 16 grandchildren. What a shame. I hope he is at peace now.

Thursday & Friday 26 & 27 - These days are just blurs. So much was coming & going, and calls here, calls there, I couldn't keep up with all the drama. It was just a whirlwind. Catcher Dude was home from school, he was really ill. Yeah, that will happen when we stop listening to mom about you still need a coat! Not spring yet! Plus all the run, run, running I do. *sighhhhh*

So those are some of the things keeping me from sitting for a minute. Here is to March calming down.

Though I did get my next surgeries scheduled and that is coming up in March.

Plus Spring Break around the corner.

There is a Baseball Tourney this month as well. I certainly hope warmer weather is around the corner. The high today is only in low 50's. Not baseball weather at all.

But for now, laundry (YES I checked pockets) need to swap out and shower to be had. Then up to school. My volunteering time is almost done. I just can not juggle any more. Something has to give!!
