Another day on the ball field

So, Im going to try again to give you a little insight about me. I'm a mother with 4 children, three of them which live with me. I will tell more about the daughter who lives with her father on another post.

My husband works fulltime, and goes to college 3/4 time. This makes for some sacrifices, but in the end we both know, it is well worth it. Our oldest daughter is 12, then there is the 8 year old daughter, and the 6 year old son. They are all excellent students, and just all around good kids. This is an accomplishment my husband and I are proud of; as we all know that these days its hard to come by.

They are all active in sports, during the fall we play soccer, and the summer we play baseball. Now this is a sport that I have had to learn to love. At first I wasn't too excited about the idea of the kids playing ball, I would have been happy with sticking with soccer. My husband an adimant man, and a baseball player, would not have it. So, baseball it was. The first few practices I would sit behind the cage, and watch the kids do thier thing, all the while wonder when practice would be over. By the end of the season, I- yes me, was the mother that stood cheering for every single kid on thier team.
This season, I could not wait for baseball to start.

So here is a breakdown of a week for us. Practice, Monday thru Friday. Softball, MTW, and Coach Pitch Tues and Thurs. I spend most of my evenings on the field, chatting with all the other Moms, and jumping out of my seat- every single time my babies hit the ball. It's great.
