Reflections

I don't know why I title every entry, but I just do. Anyway, some thoughts from the weekend....Father's day, My daughter's 4th birthday, baseball, and baseball.
The weekend flew by so quickly that i wasn't sure it was even here. It started to race at a breakneck speed on Friday night, when Patrick had Williamsport practice, at 7pm. Fridays around this house are casual, kind of just happen the way that they happen, so we are always slow with dinner. Friday is the one day that I don't cook, unless we have been invited to someone's house or out with someone. It usually is "pizza Night" and we wing it from there. This past Friday, we decided to be fancy and order chinese takeout. But that wasn't decided until about 530. Patrick had a practice at 7pm. Sounds like enough time right? NO WAY! I wound up eating soup fo r dinner and ran out the door with Patrick at about 10 to 7. That was the start of the weekend. The next day, Saturday, Patrick had a game at 930. Scott went to the cemetary to cut back an overgrown plant that was taking over my father's headstone, apparently a "neighbor" (in the cemetary) complained, and my mother got a call. Who knows? He did it, but really kept asking me to go with him, not to help, but to go to the cemetary. I didn't. Then after Patrick's game we needed to get Cassidy her Birthday gift, I did't get it on my own during the week, we bought her a motorized jeep, Dora the explorer model. When I saw the box, I was glad that I did't make the attempt by myself! HUGE! Anyway, we go to the local TOY's R US, look at the thing, and can't ldecide if she will fit in it, my inlaws kept her for us while we did this. So, we go and pick her up from the in laws, and then take her back to the store, to "fit" her into the jeep. By the time we did this, an hour later, all were sold out! including the floor model. So now we o to customer service, they get on the computer and tell us that the Bay Shore store "may" have it. "Do you want me to call," whines the girl behind the counter. I wanted to ask her where she was when brains were being doled out? "Well, YEAH!" was my response. SO, she called, they were supposed to hold one at their customer service counter with our name, that didn't happen, but they had many in stock. SO after talking with the rocket scientist, we jump back in the car, we head home, Daniel has a 330 practice, he is ready thatnks to my phone call to him, and waiting on the front porch. I jump in one car with the boys, my husband into the other, with Cassidy, who won't let him out of her sight now that she has "tried" the jeep. Off we go, into two different directions. Scott comes to practice after going to bayshore, and stays a few minutes, Cass wants the jeep together. Practice isn't over until almost 6, I have people scheduled to arrive at 7 to 730-. I still had to straighten things out at home, because I didn't set foot in the house all day. The boys vaccuumed for me, and then I had to get dinner on the table and cleaned up before everyone arrived! We called scott's parents and asked them to come closer to 730, his brother called and said they were running late, and my mom was at a party for one of her friends. Thank God everyone was just aws behind as we were!
Sunday, we slept in until around 830, we never do that. I made breakfast, real breakfast, eggs, bacon, etc. Father's day and all! By the time I showered it was 11. Then we had to go to Scott's dad for father's day. After that we stopped at the seafood place picked up clams, and on to the supermarket to pick up something for dinner, and fruit and veggies fo rthe week!
I still ahd laundry stacked up to fold!
I am tired this morning, can't imagine why!????????
That is all for now, M
