Oh, also. Flakes have gotten a bad rap around here the past couple of days. Today, though, I was expecting my sis to arrive about four. So I cracked a beer a little before that.
I may have mentioned that I have this thing about opening a beer, throwing on some music, and going on a cleaning jag. So when I finally hear from my sis, calling from home about when I expected her to arrive, I already had the first two well underway. So now, when she
does
arrive, which should be in about an hour, she'll be coming to a really much, much cleaner, better organized apartment. Flaking worked for her!
'Course, I'll be half in the bag by then (if I'm not already). But clean!
Ouch, poor Emmett. But I love what a resilient kid he is.
Honestly, it's like the only meaningful mistake he's made on the field in about 10 games. It was so public and careless, though. But his teammates were supportive and Elliott didn't bark about it at all (and usually he's QUITE verbal when somebody does something bone-headed). Actually the whole team was cheering on Eian and pulling for him - it was nice.
There's nothing worse in Little League (barring injury) than watching your kid lose his shit while he's pitching. The pressure out there can get intense.

Not a dirty drunk! That's your motto.
I'll bet it can.
Soccer was king in my 'hood when we were growing up, and a fuck-up on the field could follow you for a long-ass time - hell, even longer when you take your own psyche into account. Baseball is so much more individual, in a way - when you screw up, eyes are on you. That's gotta sting. And obviously, it did. Watching it can't have been easy either. But good on him for shaking it off and jumping back in. He's a good'un, for sure.

It is now!
I have turned my mattress - this is how insane I am. Stop me before I do the windows!

So darned tired.
K-Bug's team played in a double elimination tournament today and lost their first two games, so we are done for the weekend. The first game was against last year's champs, a VERY good team. The second game was just plain difficult. Ah well. I get tomorrow off!!!!! K-Bug has practice tomorrow, but DH is taking her so I can work on homework and housework - and SLEEP IN.
I'm still giggling over CJ's performance last night. He is quite the over the top comedian.
So, ummm, Brenda...if I buy the bear and crank the tunes, will you show up here?
Since I typically take Ativan to ease my anxiety so I can sleep, I'm probably not the best person to ask.
Silly, you're exactly the person to ask! That's why Tom is taking it after all...
