What's that saying?

I think it goes like this, "April showers bring May flowers." Last day of showers please...so very tired of the gloomy clouds, bundling up to watch baseball, standing in the rain waiting for the dog to pee. The list goes on and a bit of sunshine can change our perspective on the day. Yes, I am ready. I also think with prom coming up, and Jordan wanting to wear white that rain on that particular evening would not be good. Silly but a valid reason. It's spring, so bring it on already!

Lucky Charms

No not the cereal, Sydney, Uncle Tim and Auntie Marilyn. I think I forgot to mention these guys were key elements to the game Friday night. Sydney surprised us by coming home for the weekend, so nice. Baseball, loving from the fam and a little bit of home cooking. Did I say it was so-oo-o nice having her home?!

BIG win

A BIG win over Tualatin, their first loss and a huge victory to beat that team. So glad they didn't sweep us and a huge morale booster for the team. They have Glencoe and Tigard yet to face...the upcoming week looks a bit drizzly but we may see sunshine before our season ends. Baseball, baseball, baseball!

spoke too soon

Hillsboro Stadium was not good to us, a loss of all things! We really didn't show up to hit the ball...was that it? Was is the turf field? Was it the grand stadium? I don't really know but we need to beat this team again on Friday. Century doesn't have anything on us! Really they don't, come watch tomorrow...

Mr. Romance?

It's officially prom season now that Jordan asked a girl to prom. PROM? spelled out with tea lights in front of her house. I think her room overlooks the street so if she looked out that is what she saw. Sweet. Now to see what he has in store for her the night of prom. All I know is he may look like a 6' marshmallow, he wants to wear white. Okay, bring it on! All I know is that I don't have to launder that white tux.

10-0

Undefeated, that's what we like. The boys have been wearing their same blue jersey because of their winning streak too. Too bad because their yellow(or if you if you like, gold)jersey has finally arrived. Maybe, they won't get worn! Wouldn't that be nice...what would be nice is for the boys to keep playing, playing well and for the weather to turn a bit warmer, a bit drier too. It could happen, time will tell...let's just play some baseball!

Boys

Boys! Not what you think, like my exasperation with my boys(dad & Jordan). BUT boys as in my daughter called me to tell me she is living with boys next year. "They are my roommates mom!" Okay!? Told the dad, got a look...like I arranged it. I hate being the middle man, bearer of news that isn't always what you're expecting to hear. Save the look for your kid! Grandma game me the look too. Save the look for your granddaughter, you'll see her in two days! Boys! The source of all evil...can't live with 'em(or in this case maybe you plan to)and you can't live without 'em.

April 1

An end to spring break, the week we wish never was? No, not exactly. I had a great week with Sydney in Ashland but we never crossed the CA border to enter "vacation" mode. I spent the week with Sydney in her dorm doing what girls do best...nails, hair and makeup! Some cooking, some cleaning and some lounging around. The weather didn't exactly cooperate and baseball was rained out. Jordan and the baseball team made it to Redding but never dressed for a single inning. Too bad, it would have been nice for them to get a game or two in before league games start.

Thanks to my wonderful son for sharing his cold/flu germs with me before he left...I was sick all week long and returned to a sick hubby as well. The only one truly appreciative of our sickly state was Harley. She is more than happy to catch a nap, or two with ya.

Back to the grind...Jordan is back to school and hopefully weather will allow baseball games to resume. Steve starts a new job at Xerox in an area called Page Pack, we will see if he welcomed with open arms in that department. Something new! And Sydney has a heavy load taking 18 credit hours...her grades from winter were great and she needs to keep them up. She too will be taking on a new job at a Bed and Breakfast, housekeeping! Did I forget to mention the boy and his new job at Safari Sam's? Today he met actor Daniel Baldwin there...what in the world is he doing with his kids in Sherwood, OR? Well, he likes it there and that's half the battle. If he likes it, he won't mind going. Hope that's the case anyways.

Happy April, it has to be better and drier than March...right?!
