Ya Gotta Believe!

At least it's Fall
 

Three baseball games today. Three. At least they are home and we aren't travelling an hour. My parents are coming down to see him play which is fun because they live far enough away that they don't get to see him that often. Now I hope that he doesn't get frustrated and he realizes that it's ok to be tired on a long day.

He's starting pitcher for the first game which he loves but which make my stomach wish I hadn't opted for the breakfast sandwich this morning. Then he is going to catch for about 10 innings. (6 inning games at this age)

Somewhere in the middle of the doubleheader I have to put down the scorebook, grab some lunch and set out on a quest with J to capture some elusive Pokemon at the local toy store. There's a promotion where they can bring in their games and get a very rare guy. Since we will be spending all day at the fields we thought it was only fair to do this for J. I'm sure it won't be stressful.....

The basement is coming along--dumpster is almost full. But we found mold in the crawlspace. Icky, nasty, mold. And the crawlspace? It's right under my bed. Maybe that's what made me crazy? Maybe it's just the mold?

So happy that it is crisp and clear and we get to spend the day outside. Fall makes me a little more happy and a little less crazy. It's something.
