Welcome to the Jungle

Reactions: 
I guess instead of daily blog posts, I'm down to weekly blog posts. I guess it's better than nothing, right?

We played one softball game Thursday night. We beat them 28-3. It wasn't pretty, but it was fun. I went 4-4. Well, pretty much everyone did, haha. The other team was completely clueless. Not to mention we are awesome. After the game we all went to DQ to celebrate Maddie's birthday and that was awesome!

Last Friday Tara took Dylan with her to Parker's 13th Birthday Party in Odessa. So it was just me and the little one. We had a girls day. First thing she wanted to do was try chinese food. Um...okay. So we went to Golden Lion. She loved the pork fried rice. She even loved the tea. She tried everything, which shocked me a little. She didn't so much like the chicken chow mein, which shocked me again. I thought she'd like it. We went to Barnes and Noble so she could spend some of her birthday money. She bought a few books and read some in the car on the way home. At B&N we ran into her preschool teacher. Only, I couldn't remember where I knew her from and neither did Maddie. So we sat there talking awkwardly for a few minutes. It wasn't until we were walking away that I remembered where the heck I knew her from. At that point it would have been weird to turn around and start talking to her again. Joel had a golf tournament that day so he wasn't going to be home until late. Maddie and I went out to dinner to Stella's, which is her favorite place (one of them anyway). When we got home it was still hot hot hot so we went in the pool. It started to cool down and the water was actually warmer than the air! LOL

Saturday Maddie had 3 parties to go to. One was for her two best friends, Lily and Georgia. The 2nd was for Lea's baby shower. The 3rd was for her. It was her final birthday celebration with Grammy and Grandpa (Joel's parents). Since Dylan wasn't there she was kind of in her element. She put on a talent show - herself being the only contestant; we had to vote on which of her talents was the best. It was fun. She was loving every minute of it.

Dylan came home late Saturday night and on Sunday he and Joel went to the Mariner/Yankee game. Maddie went to Mam's and I had to work.

So, as you can see, our lives are boring as usual. This time of year mostly is just work, softball, sleep. Not that I am complaining, it doesn't get any better than that. We have two more games tonight. So far our team is 3-0. I wonder how long we can keep up the undefeated status. We are a pretty good team and the teams we have been facing are....not so good. Go Yank-A-Part!
