Firsts

Brendan has his first baseball tourney this weekend. We lost both games on Saturday and then came back Sunday and beat the #1 ranked team. Then we lost the 2nd game. All in all it was a great start to the season. Brendan not only got a starting position, but he was also in the fourth batter slot. His knees were SHAKING when he got up to bat, but he did good.

Destiny had her first softball practice. Alls I can say is, It's going to be a loooooong season. She is heads and tails far above the rest of those little girls. She's bored. I mean, seriously, I'm not saying that 'cause she's my child but she is really too advanced for this team. But we'll have fun and we'll make it through and she'll be the star. Maybe the rest will come around....we'll see.

Nicolas also had his first T-Ball practice last night. It was sooooo freakin cute! I just LOVE watching those little ones get on the field and play ball. They run the wrong way, they pick flowers in the field, they turn cartwheels and play around. I wish I wouldn't have forgotten my video camera! So Nic comes up to bat, and he's probably by far the littlest one out there, and everybody is like "oh he's so tiiiiiny. that's is just precious." and then he picks up the bat and hits the ball to the fence. You should have heard the silence in the stands. Ok, so you can't really "hear" the silence, but it was a good 3 seconds before anybody said anything. And then he picked up another ball and did it again. I think he's going to have a blast!

Next weekend is our only weekend off between now and Mother's Day. I'm torn about what to do. I really really really want to go to Monroe and watch ULM play since it will be the last time we can do that. Literally. DJ is graduating this year and this will be our only weekend off and I really want to go. Since it's DJ's senior year I want to be able to experience that with him. While we were at Brendan's game on Sunday I randomly picked up my cell phone and asked my mom if DJ was pitching....she told me that I must have ESP because he just got on the field. I'm telling you, we have this connection that's just WEIRD. Anyway, I want to go. But Keith wants to stay home so that I (notice the I, not the we) can fix up the flowerbeds and get the yard cleaned up. Yuck. I rather pay somebody or not have flowers at all since we aren't home to enjoy them anyway.

I'm looking into hiring someone to come clean my house once a week or every two weeks. I can pick up the crap, and the cleaning would just be contained to bathrooms, living room, kitchen and my bedroom. Kids rooms don't count and they keep those pretty clean. I just don't have time to dust, mop, vacuum and clean the kitchen. To me it would be well worth $40 to pay someone to come in and do all that and a couple loads of laundry. If anyone knows anyone let me know!
