Thank goodness for free samples of Alavert I received from Start Sampling......this stuff is great and it IS non-drowsy and they mean it!!

I hate taking allergy medicine and they going promptly to sleep.

Easy night tonight, nothing to do and tacos for dinner. Hubby got tickets to the Nets-Knicks playoff game. I hope Nets win again!!
ALLERGIES SUCK!!!!!!

73° today, 86° tomorrow, then back to the low 60°s with rain for the rest of the week. I'd better enjoy it while I can. Unfortunately, I have to be at an ice rink with Steffi for 4 hours today for a birthday party, grrrrr

The boys will be camping this weekend, so I hope the 30% chance of rain will be nil.

Baseball is over for John until 4/27. He will miss his game both Monday night and Saturday. He has to stay for at least 3 innings if he starts a game, and we can't guarantee that for Monday, as he also has a pack meeting for Cub Scouts, and is in a play. Saturday, he'll miss due to camping, but those are our only conflicts this season. He is bummed because his last two at-bats, he was 3 and 2 and the coach told him to take a pitch, and both pitches were strikes. He was angry, but at least he is listening to what the coach tells him to do. It's tough for him this year as a 10 year old playing with muscled 12 year olds, but he'll get there. Everyone said it would be a struggle this year, but he'd survive. He is also trying to coordinate his mind, body and everything by remembering to step out of the batter's box, look at the coach for a sign, process the sign and then execute. He's only had 3 games, so it'll come. All the parents keep assuring us, but it's so hard to see him so nervous.

I just realized it's only 2 weeks away until I go to the city to see Wicked. It seems like an eon ago when I ordered the tickets, and now the time has finally arrived. The city is gonna be crazy that day as there is a Revlon Run/Walk that morning but hopefully it'll be calm by the time we get there after the race.

Well, I better git going on breakfast and showering so I can make it to the ice rink on time :-)

Hope your weekend is just as beautiful today!!

Hello there......

What have I been up to?

Baseball, softball and baseball. Luckily the last two days have gotten rained out, but we have non stop activities here.

John is playing in the Major division for the better 10-12 yr olds this year and they seem to be more competitive and serious than the Minors for 9-12 yr olds. We're proud of him moving up, but didn't realize we would eat, sleep and drink baseball from now until June for him, LOL

Steffi is playing her first year of softball and seems to be enjoying that as well. I just hope she doesn't get hurt or frustrated because some of these girls can HIT the ball and if she's afraid, she's gonna get hurt.

Tommy is pluggin along in the Instructional division this year. He got cracked in the face the other night when he thought the ball was coming into his glove and not his glasses. Luckily glasses were okay, no blood and there was just a little mark from where the ball smacked the glasses into his cheek bone. He's also lost 4 teeth in the last month, so it's adorable watching him talk and eat.

I've been also happily working with the PTA in choosing my replacement!!! WOOHOO. I sent out a plea about a month ago and 3 people have come forward to replace me in the Treasurer's position.

I have also been busy, trying to be crafty and construct a den flag for our Webelos den. I think we got it all under control and I just need a glue gun night now. The boys are all going camping next weekend with their dads and should have a lot of fun.

I have the horrible task of getting the kids drawers changed out with the seasons and new sizes, so I'm sure I'll be buried by the end of next week with getting rid of all these decent clothes. I think I will just save myself headaches and throw them in trash bags and donate them to a clothing bin in one of the parking lots around here.

I think that's it for now.......how's that for an entry? LOL
