Baseball Tournament

Wow! I know I have said it before, but 5-6 year old baseball is stressful! I'm going to have heart failure if they keep playing like this!

Monday night, we played a team that we had met twice in regular season. We won once; we lost once! We were hoping to avoid them for a while in the tournament! Anyways.... after Friday night's loss to the Braves (10-9)....we had to play Saturday morning. We won! It went into a single overtime, but we won. Friday night's game went into overtime also!

So then we had to play Monday night. OMG!!!!! We played the White Sox--this was going to be the tie breaker for our two teams! Because there is an hour time limit, we usually play 2 innings. Fine.... we can do that! BUT....Monday night, we were tied at the end of the 2nd. So we played our next 4 batters and they played their next 4 batters.... at the beginning of OT, the score was 7-7. At the end of those 8 batters (our 4 and their 4) the score was 9-9.

Now.... OT #2. We scored ONE run! OMG! They had matched us every inning so we were a little worried. However....we held them and they did NOT score anything! We eliminated them from the tournament because that was their 2nd loss. We move on to play Thursday night at 6:30pm.

So what did we do last night??? We decided to have a practice (that none of the other teams scheduled....lol)!!! Our kids were great! Then.... after practice, we decided to go watch the end of last night's game between Lil' Lightning and the Rangers. We play the winner tomorrow night. Lil' Lightning won! Now there are only 4 teams left in the tournament.... I think. Everyone has a lost ONE game....EXCEPT the Braves! If we win tomorrow night, we play Friday night. If we win Friday night, we play Saturday morning!

I just hope our kids can beat Lil' Lightning again! I'd love for them to get a second chance at the Braves (maybe in the Championship)!

For now....we are just worrying about tomorrow night!






Until next time........

Congrats on the ball playing! I love watching live games, especially children. What I don't care for are parents act up at kid's games.

Sounds fun! I kind of miss my girls playing ball. It tore me up that neither of them wanted to play this year. Well only kind of, honestly, I am kind of liking my time at home, lol.

Wow! You're right. It does sound incredibly stressful...at least getting through your post was that way for me. :)

Ah, the highs and lows of T-Ball. I remember them well from the days when my little brother played. I am just wondering if I will be able to survive them with my own son.

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
