Jack is playing football again this year. He is on the Senior team, which I guess is the team before you start playing middle school ball…I guess.
Anyway, he is playing on a new team. For years, because of the two household thing, he has played on a team that was located about half way [...]
I found out this weekend that the parent of one of Jack’s team mates had passed away.
Peggy was an amazing parent. I only knew her through the ball park and a couple parties that Jack went to at their house. I wrote about one of these parties here. This also will give you a [...]
I screwed up. I’d like to blame it all on my son’s seeming inability to focus on simple task, like looking up and writing definitions for 20 vocab words, but I started it.
We got home last night and Jack had afore mentioned definitions and 30 minutes of reading to do. That was all. [...]
And the crowd goes wild!!! Really. I have to admit, for at least half the boys on the field, it was a great way to go out. The other team lost 2 games in a row to take 4th place…and there was tears and yelling from the coach…but everyone got a medal.
So, I’m [...]
Well, it’s over…for the most part. We played Saturday and lost 13-0 against our in town rivals. These are boys that are in the same pool of players, so some played on the same team last year. It’s hard to lose against kids that you know…and easier at the same time to be happy for [...]
It’s my least favorite sport that Jack plays. I think it’s a mixture of the inefficiency of the practices, the gall of the parents, and the fact that I have to pay $4 PER GAME. It’s like the dues we paid weren’t enough. Just gripes me every Saturday.
We had practice last Friday night…in [...]
Baseball season is over. Jack’s team lost last night. They had a better than even chance of going all the way but it ended last night. I have to admit, I’m very proud of Jack. He came along way this season. Mostly in the batting department.
Jack’s left handed. He causes the kid pitchers [...]
I’m exhausted. The weekend…which started Thursday afternoon…was filled with lots of sweat and dust. We moved the bulk of the furniture by truck Thursday afternoon. It wasn’t supposed to rain Thursday, but those little summer showers popped up making the humidity oceanic. We finished up around 9 or 10. Unfortunately Tony started coughing about then. [...]
Jack has been on the same baseball team as D. for the last few years. To begin with, D was one of those kids that you hoped your child wouldn’t set beside, because you knew there would be trouble. D’s parents are older…in their late 50′s early 60′s. D is adopted. He was uncoordinated and [...]
This week has been crazy. Sunday was the day of Jack being sick. I didn’t mention that after I dropped him off I raced across town to look at a house. It was awesome. We decided to make an offer.
Monday…Work, which was a trip to the middle of the state…about 2 hours one [...]
