I know I do a lot of complaining of going to baseball games but I just can't stand it. I have to go!!! We have started a traveling baseball team.. I know, I know, what was I thinking once again. Uh I have no idea. We recently went to Chattanooga, Tennessee and placed 2nd in a World Series tournament. This was so much fun for the kids. The parents on the other hand we were so pooped from overly intense baseball and then a long 4 hour ride back home. I think I wore a hole in the concrete, walking back and forth, back and forth. Then we had the rocker rain man Curt. Sunday, he never left the rocking chair because he thought it would mess up the mojo we had going. Well he was right. Curt promptly got up and went to go buy shirts just as the game was starting and then it was down hill from that point forward. When he returned to the chair which he had sat for almost 5 straight hours we were getting the breaks beat off of us in a bad bad way. I knew at that point we were done. We placed 2nd but our boys played some baseball like you ain't ever seen.. Yes, I said, "ain't"...( Please don't correct my poor English) Just imagine me saying it in person..lol... Hunter cried from the 3rd inning on because he wanted to win so very bad. He said, " we drove all the way to chaganooga and placed 2nd this is a bunch of crap." Of course I responded this is a life lesson son you can't win everything its OK to lose every now and then. Just remember what it feels like and don't let it happen again. At that point I start laughing and I look at him and he is snubbing he is crying so hard and says hush mom this is not funny at all. I try to get myself together but with no hesitation a nealism leaks from my mouth. "Always the bridesmaid and never the bride." Hunter turns around and walks away and kicks the dirt. Lane ask, "what's his problem?" I look at Lane and Hunter once again pipes up and says, " Mom is so ugly sometimes she just cant stop saying things that grandaddy says." How he knew that was one of my fathers nealisms I will never know. So back on the road we go picking up those happy meals and naps in the car. But hey at least Jackson is sleeping in his bed!!
