Maniac, I think not

Sydney called me a coffee maniac today. Or should I say that she said her dad called me one. I might agree to junkie but not maniac. Not nice. It wasn't me who had Starbuck's today. Hmm, who is the maniac? Maybe Jordan. Have you seen him on caffeine? He can give his sister a run for the money when it comes to getting in their fair share of words spoken. Lol.

16 wins...9 losses!

Great season Abby's! The season came to end over the weekend, hard to believe there will be no more baseball. Friday night was a loss to Doc Stewart's team from Roseburg. The score was 2-10 but really doesn't tell the story of how good a game this was. Jacob pitched three great innings and Sam with five. Saturday morning we faced Canby and won this game 8-7. Chad and Cody covered the mound this game. We needed to keep on winning to keep on playing...the boys had a rest while Doc Stewart took on Springfield. What a game that was but Roseburg took this one and we were set to play Springfield. We had a rest and the Springfield team just played. I was hoping maybe they were tired but they came out swinging. We seemed to have quick innings, three up & three down. The boys got a stiff talking to in the 3rd or 4th inning and then things started to come together a bit more. The final score was 2-4 but our team played hard to the end as we know they can do. Long day of baseball but hopefully it won't seem too long until next season.

Still playing!

The boys didn't take care of business this weekend and lock in their place to play in the state tournament. So, we will do it the hard way and play in a regional tourney this weekend. We will face Roseburg Friday evening and face some of the boys they played and lost to in the spring playoffs. Hope they are feeling a grudge match and play their "A" game. Go Abby's!

personal hygiene

A trip to Urgent Care today since we couldn't get into the doctor's office. STAPH! Knew it as soon as I saw it, so disgusting. A boo-boo, lots of dirt, the general bacteria that is in our day to day life and a boy. This is a recipe for staph infections. Ugh. How many times do you have to say wash...with soap! Never enough is what I'm thinking.

back from her weekend

Happy to report no new piercings :)

a girl can dream

Today reminds me of one of those cool fall days but I want to be here :/

mid-summer blues

Is this really summer? Mid-July rain? Yep. I don't mind the weather too much but I do mind that it is disrupting baseball. Rain delay yesterday and again today. We play when we play but it's Steve's number one priority and nothing else is getting done. And whoever said that this rain might push some play until tomorrow should be shot! Steve needs to go back to work tomorrow. Steve needs to leave the house as this is summer break and I already have Jordan to contend with. Goodness! And so it goes...

piercings

Sweet Kendahl came by to spend some cousin time with Sydney tonight...wearing a new piercing. I didn't get a picture but I will. She has a new little sparkly on the right side of her nose, ouch is what I think. See what happens when they grow up and go away for a weekend. Well, a long weekend...more time for my new hole in my head to heal by. Guess what. Sydney is going away this weekend. Should I be concerned?! We will have to wait a few days to get an answer lol. Stay tuned...

Harry Potter

Harry Potter. Do you know him? Have you read the books? Have you seen the movies? Well, tonight at midnight the latest and the last installment of the movies. Jordan and his friends are waiting at The Cameo here in town to see the midnight show. Crazy huh? Crazy because I wouldn't be able to stay awake until then. Crazier because he has been in line since about 2:30 this afternoon. Craziest because there was a line that began early this morning. Yikes, those people are fans! And, I'm sure they won't be disappointed.

July!

It's July. I say that as if time has been flying by. It has but also school has only been out about a month and we have plenty of summertime left. There is still plenty of baseball, football and for Sydney, work left. Sydney has not one, but two jobs to juggle. She works M-F at Xerox and weekends and and evening or so at Subway. She gets quality time with her dad too! Carpooling with her dad means getting up and moving before 4:30. She also plays radio trivia every morning with him and boosts his ego by calling in his answer. She will learn to go with her gut feeling and give her own answer if she ever wants to win, lol. Her biggest motivation is the bottom line...at the end of the day who doesn't love a paycheck.
Jordan is still playing baseball. The summer Legion team is doing great...some wins, some losses but a lot of fun. Go Abby's!! Football conditioning is happening on a regular basis and a 7 on 7 league each week as well. Sports is keeping him busy but he still has time to find a job, in my opinion(haha). He has plenty to do to get ready for his senior year...senior project, job shadow and some studying for his SAT if he wants to repeat it. Researching schools would be good too, as of now I don't think he has a top ten...five?..."the" one? Maybe by application deadline date :/
Typical drizzly day...not typical for July though. I'll take it but only because the weekend weather looks more promising. The weekend promises more baseball, baseball and more baseball.
