Ugh, so it is yet another holiday weekend, and we have a lot going on.
Thursday, Dawson had a baseball game, and they played a really good game, and seen some horrible sportsman ship from the other team. I hope they learned from it, because some of the boys on Dawson's team exhibit some of the same traits, Dawson included! I missed the first game of the season because I was out of town for a wedding, but they did win that game and then they got on a bad streak. Don't really know what the deal was, but the last couple of games they have really stepped up their game and started doing a lot better. Dawson plays 3rd base, most of the time, but he has pitched in a couple of games as well. (I think he needs to stick to 3rd base until he can get some pitching lessons...from a pro) but he does pretty good for a short while. Then he gets freaked out and it is all down hill from there. Anyway, Thursday's game, he got a couple of good hits, got hit by the pitcher once, and stole 2nd, and even scored. He made some good plays, had a run down with the catcher trying to keep a kid from scoring, and he got the last out of the game. It was great.
Friday, (today) Keigan had softball practice. She is really getting a lot better and really loves the game. She has her moments, but all in all, she LOVES it. She wishes more people would come see her game, but she'll be alright. lol.
Anyway, now to my point of this posting tonight....We just went to Wal-mart to get the kiddos a couple of things for Easter and you would have thought it was freaking Christmas in that crazy store. Some people really go off the deep end with this stuff. Seeing as we are trying to limit the kids sugar intake, we did not buy a whole mess of candy. Yes, we did get them some candy, but we also figured they would be getting candy from other places as well, so...instead, we bought each of them a little basket to put their little bit of candy in, and got each of them something that they have been asking for. Dawson will get a new headset for the X-BOX (because he is a game dork) and Keigan will get a new case for her iPod. She has been asking for an OtterBox for it since she got it, but HELLO, I am not spending that much money on a silly little Easter gift. She will love the one that we got her, and maybe one day she will get the OtterBox. HaHaHa.
I did see a lot of people buying insane amounts of things for their kids, and I could not help but think to myself, "these people are idiots" and I know maybe that is wrong, but I can't help it. Of course my kids are just as spoiled a many others in this world, but really? For Easter? It seems like all holidays are about anymore is MONEY. Maybe it is just me, but.... Hell, the only holiday I really like Halloween. Lol. If I wasn't so disgusted with myself, I would still get me a cute costume and go trick-or-treating my damn self.
Oh well, I really need to get off of here. It is 12:20 in the morning and I have to get up early. I have a ton of stuff to do in the morning. Bob is already sound asleep on the couch and frankly, I over his snoring for now. Lol.
Good Night,
ME
