Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Well, not my *entire* life of course, just the baseball league treasurer part. Fall 2003-Summer 2009. Packed into two boxes to be handed over to the new President and Treasurer sometime this month. Can you tell I am slightly anxious to get this off my task list? It was the one thing I *did* finish... Continue Reading →
What? You thought I could go two posts without saying the "A" word? Well, it's not my fault! Remember my kid who got all tied up in knots when I was hyper-ventillating every Tuesday night? The one who called me 'obsessed' and rolled his eyes and groaned and moaned and yelled in protest " NO... Continue Reading →
First, go read this jewel of a blog post by Keith Olbermann on his baseball blog. Go ahead. No politics at all, I promise! Keith writes about his real passion - baseball - over at the MLB blog site and I love reading his stories. This one though - well, it hit me like a... Continue Reading →
(Note: do not do an image search on 'injuries' unless you are fan of gross pics - EWWW) SportsBoy's LL team started out strong, winnign the first half of the regular season with a game to spare and earning a spot in the post season playoff which began this week.

And that my dear peeps, is pretty much a reflection of the next 30+ days. It starts with the fact that Music Man finally received a proper sentencing for his DUI issues.

Despite the protests of the cats and their attempts to become one with the luggage, the boys and I piled into our Griswold Family Wagon and hit the road last week. It was Viva Viagra! LAS VEGAS! Argh, I hate that stupid commercial which makes it impossible for my brain to sing that song the... Continue Reading →
(overall Vegas vacation report coming later. First, the baseball part) I know, I know, back in December, I thought I had witnessed The Best Baseball Game Ever. It was. But now there is another one. One that can rank alongside the first one for completely different reasons, but one which was equally fun to watch.... Continue Reading →
The Good: Arriving early and watching both teams during batting practice. We sat in an area of right field called The Porch which is prime home run target area for left handed hitters. One of the balls was hit by Brian Giles and was actually a ground ball down the line, but a Padres pitcher... Continue Reading →
After a lazy morning, we got to the field for LL game warm ups at 10:45. I got my walk in for the day - 40mins worth by making one lap around the fields and then going around the entire neighborhood block which is pretty darn big and very very hilly so it was a... Continue Reading →
