Home Sweet Home

So were back from our out of town baseball weekend. I really hope we stay on town from now on. We can loss just as well in the comfort of our own house & beds. LOL. Well to be honest we were the only ones who stayed. The rest decided to just drive back home. But I was just to tired and had already checked in Fri. The rest drove down Sat. Oh Well.

Even Catcher Dude played rough, well his batting. He usually doesn't have a bad game behind the plate. His throw to second could be better. (Actually it better get better before spring) Blue calling batters interference when he is throwing to third would be a MIRACLE!!

They played three games and lost them all. 2-16, 2-5, & 5-7. Catcherdude played second a few times and twice he had some really good plays. The bats really didn't come alive. CD's bat should be buried. LOL.

With 9 AB. 1 Hit. 1 Run. 1 RBI. 3 Strike Out. 1 Stolen Base. His AVG for the weekend .111. Oh well. Shake it off.

Team #1 is off this week for league play. Team #2 plays again Thursday. The the weekend starts another tournament for #1 team.

That is about all I have on the comings and goings around here.


Have a good Monday! I will try to get back to post a Not Me! Monday.

Jon and Kate Comments

Like migrainemom I was going to avoid this topic. (But seeing how there has not been any baseball to ramble on about .. why the heck not)

Here is migrainemom's blog about this topic and so I will be comment about her post here on my blog as I found I was winded about the topic.


I have watched them and been a fan for a while. Nice family, from what you seen through your TV at least. None of use could really say how this whole thing effected them. It is a shame that when you decide to place yourself in that position people believe they have a right to say and invade your personal space. There is NO reason Paparazzi should be following them around. Really is it anyone business? You or I could got out and sleep have an affair and who would care? So why do they believe it is their, our business? It really is not.

But as far as I am concerned Paparazzi need to stop being in any ones business. How would they like it if their wife and/or husband was followed to a party store, or the hospital to give birth, or buying shoes, etc. It is un-needed! But I will not get on my soap box about Paparazzi and return back to Jon and Kate.

I do agree people are jumping on the ban wagon and not really seen the show. Not necessary ppl. We all have our opinions. But what was very clear on the Season 5 opening .. those are 2 really unhappy ppl. They need to heal. Not be raked over more coals. More rumors. Look what this could possible do to those innocent children. That is not right.

To touch on migrainemom's comment, I do not understand either why other moms need to tear this woman apart. Why we feel the need to tear any mother part. Don't we all (well most level headed, reasonable, moms) do what we feel is the best for our children, husbands, family? Stop over re-acting and jumpin down her throat. Ever thought maybe it was "great" editing on the shows part? Plus with so many down on them her .. sure didn't hurt those ratings. The big season opener of Jon & Kate Plus 8 pulled in 9.8 million viewers, 4 million of which were women in the 18-49 age range. Correct me if I am wrong??? But is that not the range of most moms?


Now for my opinion (since everyone seems to have one) Jon is done with all the lime life. He probably did make wrong choices and those choices decided to cash in. There was one comment Kate made about if she knew what to do to fix this she would.

Is it me or is the answer right there smack in their faces?

STOP! Just stop!

No more books. No more show. She was a nurse and he did .. well whatever he did. Go back to real jobs and no more public. IMO that is what Jon is wanting. Those children are all in school full-time now. Just go back to being normal parents. It is not too late. Sure would some ppl miss the show? Sure. I miss Women’s Murder Club, Canterbury’s Law, and Las Vegas. But the networks aren't going to bring them back. But we live.

I saw what most that watched on a weekly bases. She was getting more and more aggressive, and always on his case. (Again, maybe good editing on the shows part)But when you see the earlier shows there was love, kisses, and smiles. STRESS! That is what that poor family is under and pulling the plug would I bet save a marriage and family of 10.

So there is my ass-essment.

Prayers for a young child

I stop in occasionally and read Manic Mother. Imagine my shock when I read of her ill son. I can not imagine taking my child in for a routine check of a spider bite, only to find out less than 48 hours later my child has leukemia.

Please keep this family and child in your thoughts.

Memorial Day

Baseball Mom

As the Baseball Turns ...

Here is a little baseball soap Opera for you. It is such a story all I could think of was this is a soap opera in the making.

So as far as baseball goes. It was not a pretty week. Can't really expect every game, week to go perfect so you would think just get up and brush it off. Well you would think. But last night was so intense for Catcher Dude. So bad. He actually tried to beat up one of his own pitchers. LOL. Okay. Serious. Not Funny Baseball Mom. Stop. Laughing. (Okay in all fairness, I did not laugh last night.) Then decided he was NOT playing for this second team any longer.

Wait I am getting a head.

Tuesday game. #2 team won 13-4. They had Catcher dude pitch the whole game. He had 10 SO, 3 BB. He actually did really good pitching. As far as batting this game 3 AB, 1 H, 1 RBI, 1 SB. So he definitely struggled there.

Wednesday game. #1 team Won 12-6. CD caught the whole game. (His backup was not there so he didn't have to share) His batting this game as good, but I tell ya he sure gets walked a lot! I am told it is because he has a good eye and doesn't swing at bullshit. But he really doesn't get much to work with. So he walked (no pun intended) away with 4 AB, 4 R, 1 3B, 3 BB, 2 SB. That is the first triple he has hit. So he was really happy about that.

Now that brings us to last nights game. Thursday game. #2 team lost 12-17. Now first of all you read 12-17 and you think that wasn't bad. Ah yes, but there is a little more than that. They were the visiting team. They only played top of the third. The bottom of first they were winning 9-4.

After the top of the 2nd they were winning 11-4. Then the home team batted bottom of the second. Then the nightmare started. Catcher dude had pitched first inning. He struggled. That was for sure. He had 1 BB, and 2 SO. (By the way those were the only SO of the game.) But for whatever reason they decided to go with another pitcher start of the next inning. He walked or HBP most of the runs in.

Changed pitcher, he couldn't keep it out of the dirt. But my blocking machine didn't let any past him (unless way over head, or more on third than over plate ..lol) Unfortunately he blocked so many his arms are now black and blue, and bleeding in some spots. He snapped and rushed the mound. (I think at that point was 11-10.)

Guess he was going to take blood from his pitcher. Screaming, flaying arms, pointing his finger, throwing equipment off. (that was before he reached mound .. lol) He reached the mound, and more words were said by him, the pitcher just stood there in horror. Luckily the coach came out. QUICK!

They switched pitchers again. It really didn't get any better. Their pitching just sucks, they have no fielding, and BB and HBP isn't any better. After they had went through entire batting order almost 3 times. They got 3 outs. Score now was 11-17. The game was a lost cause. It had been over the 1:45 minute time limit. Was only going into the top of the third. For whatever reason they let the boys bat again. I could still hear CD screaming over there. I was really think .. heart attack .. any minute. 4 batter made it up. 1 run. Blue called it. Final 12-17. BAD!! Really.


The yelling and screaming didn't really stop when he got over to me. I was actually worried about him. I tried calling Dad Dude to see if he could calm him. Not so much. Finally he quieted. But still was so mad. He could not even speak. All he kept saying is it was not worth all the troubles of playing on this little piss-ass rec league team. He quit! Period. Actually in my horror he was cussing and he has never cussed. (Not that I let him I told him.)

He wouldn't eat. Wouldn't drink. He barely let me tend to his bruised and bleeding arms.

I really feel for him. He works so hard, and to see others just not really care, try, it is hard. His mood this morning was not any better. He is still saying he is not returning to this team. *shrug*

He has practice tomorrow and a game Tuesday. I have tried not to say much to him today. Actually he came home today at 9:30 and has been sleeping since about 11. I am hoping this sleep will help him recover.

Poor Catcher Dude!! He carries teams all the time, and they break his heart when they don't step up.

It's GONE!

I fought and fought for it's survival. I protested the cons. I gave no pros. But he did it. I had tears as the first swipe went down. My baby is certainly not a baby anymore.

What could I possible be so upset about? What happen in the baseball family today?

Catcherdude shaved for the very first time!!

*wiping tears*

Its all over now. His first cute handsome moustache GONE!! Dang people and their mouths!! First it was the kids at school. Personally I think they were jealous. But still CD would come back to reason and he would decide it was okay. But today .. ugh .. was the final straw when the guy at the sporting place where we did buy all his baseball equipment started teasing him.

There was no talking him (catcher dude) out of it. I tried reasoning. I tried all my speeches. But this time I lost. It is gone. He wouldn't even let me take pictures. *sigh*

It's over now. I cried. Yes you read that right. I cried. Still thinking about it, I get teary eyed. But I am starting to have anger set in. I just might not be kidding about not stepping foot back in the establishment where we have spent many of hours and money in. I just might take business some place else.

So there it is .. another first to add to the growing first list. First foods, First words, First steps, First day of Kindergarten, First shave. *sigh*
