EVAN LOOOOONGORIA

$26 ticket, 2:30 game, $8 parking, 35,041 people, cowbells, mohawks, #3 hits 2 home runs in his first two at bats, The White Sox LOSE 6-4 in the Rays first ever play off game, PRICELESS!  

Mark "won" the ticket lottery for the Rays post season game.  Which meant we "won" the opportunity to BUY tickets.  We bought four to game one and four to game two.  This is another of the strange things that you just do because well, it is fun.  We had not idea when he bought the tickets what day or time the games would be. We only knew that the Rays made it to the play offs and we wanted to go.   It is one of the those opportunities you have to jump on or the tickets will be gone.   The tickets sold out in one day.  

I can not tell you how much fun I had yesterday.  It was not easy to orchestrate the actual going to a 2:30 game on a Thursday when your school age child gets out of school in the 2 o'clock hour and your the pool car driver.  Then there are two other little ones at home that need to be watched over in order to actually go to the game.  Thanks to the ladies that helped me!  

I think it was the most exciting baseball game I have ever attended.  I actually watched every pitch and just had a great time.  Evan Longoria, ROCKS!  23 years of age, a fairy tale in the making.  He wasn't even drafted to play baseball from high school and he is making baseball history.

I almost cried yesterday, really.  Watching them come out of the field as the ALCS camps was so cool for them.  You know you have been there at the top of your "game" you know the feeling and you can feel the excitement for them.  I was teary eyed over BASEBALL!  I got the post season fever.  GO RAYS!

GO RAYS! I have been so "into" postseason, Alyssa thinks I am cuckoo. I am so psyched that they beat the Sox Sunday night. We are recording Game 1 of the World Series since it will start before AWANA ends Wed night. Evan is da bomb!

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

Insecurity

I am reading a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us. I was asked by a friend to do a book club kinda thing. I agreed just to feel included so many miles away (insecurity?). I am lonely of being in Alabama without my girlfriends and agreed to read this book. I have to say I didn't think I had issues with insecurity at the time I bought this book. I am a pretty secure woman, but as I continue to read I see where we all have some issues with insecurity. For anyone that knows Beth Moore you know she is a no nonsense Christian and is very challenging. I appreciate her openness and honesty. I am really enjoying the book. Mostly because I have two girls that will be women one day. Don't we all want our daughters to be secure? Of course we do. I think Beth Moore has hit the nail on the head! My challenge to all my girl friends is to not worry about what other think and buy a book that is about insecurity and read it! If not for yo...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...
