Changes--

Off to Middle School...

Done with Freshman Year...

Wants to go to Camp for extended period...

Good visit at the store...

Blessings...

None of them give me lip....

Except for showing up at Baseball games in the 6th inning when oldest has been the starting pitcher and then he starts walking batters--I get blamed for showing up (but he had almost used up his pitch count and his arm was tired!) --they were up 10-3!
Can you believe he said it loud enough for all to hear--I've come to expect it...it's actually an ongoing joke---I always drift during baseball games and I have missed countless good plays and hits. So when I pay attention nothing happens--

Second game of the series--I was smart--stayed at Williamsport team practice with youngest, sent DH with camera to game--called for update--we were down 7-3 and oldest was back on the mound since the 2nd inning--holding the Yankees. Showed up and he was still pitching until the end of the game which was tied and then lost by 1 run!

Tonight is the final and I can relax--he's not pitching and neither are the 2 best on the other team--could be a great night! Hopefully DH comes home on time and we can be at the game and at youngest' s awards night at school. I'm seriously considering the cloning thing.

Relaxed watching the newest installment of Deadliest Catch--can't believe Sig passed off chest pains! Stubborn Norwegian! Can't believe the buildup of the coast guard calls either--not that I want anything to happen to these men, their crews or their boats. Can't believe I hooked the family into this obsession---

Gotta run--slug needs to get out of bed and to the orthodontist--here comes another lecture!

Call Me Crazy!

Didn't realize I would have certain jobs for life!

Being wife and mom suit me just fine for the life role! 29 years have flown since I met HULK and then married him 8 years later. It's been a fantastic ride and I would do it all over again. We usually have a lot of fun on this day--the kids even asked why the word Anniversary was on the calendar. They had a bet--Matthew won, even in his fevered state!


Fevered state, that's where I have been with him for the last 3 days! Could it be the swine flu? Don't know, but we've got no snorting or grunting like pigs going on here. (One of the English teachers at the HS actually had his class believing that if you coughed or sneezed and it was followed by a grunt--that was the swine flu at work! I though that was so funny.)

Other life jobs seem to include the future of Cub Scouting in Central Islip! The VBS life at church and coordinating the women's communion breakfast in the spring. It's great to be loved!

I think that's why when the house is quiet--I just want to veg and watch a good movie (uninterupted, of course!).

Gotta go finish unloading the dishwasher--never ending cycle of cook, clean, and put away!

Love to all.
