Road trips and backyards

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way

from the song - No Leaf Clover
*Metallica

I love that song. It wasn't on any of the previous Metallica Albums until one of their live albums.

Well we won here at home on Sunday so we are back on track hopefully. We play Wednesday away then will get back at about ten p.m. only to leave for south Texas (Laredo) on Thursday at 6 a.m. Ughhh that trip will be a beat down. We will play in San Antonio on Sunday and get back around Midnight. The traveling with 20 girls for four days and all the meal money and hotel checks. Then we have the hotel stays themselves making sure my girls actually behave. Oh by the way we have two games in all of that.

Boys update: Alec got an A on his Spelling test so he's happy. He is a creature of habit and getting back into this school routine has been a challenge but hes getting there. He also brought a Cello home from music class to learn to play not really sure what I think about that. I finally had a chance to see Evan play baseball this Fall. He did a good job and watched me after everything he did. I have to work on my helping voice being less yell and more encouragement. Don't feel to bad for him - he has the attention span of a three month old and they are hitting real baseballs. He actually does pretty well. The baby actually made it til 7 a.m. today without waking up. He had a streak of four days with the 6a.m. wake up followed by a quick 6:15 breakfast and a 6:30 trip to the backyard. I have no clue why but he loves running around the backyard in the morning. Unfortunately he is still a big fan of "hitting" when he doesn't get his way. It only gets worse when you grab his hand and tell him "no". He then launches himself into a full out fit. Ahhh we should have a few more kids!
