T-Ball and 5 year old's!!!!!!


So, I signed my boys up for Ball this year, and knowing Mckay's track record, I volunteered to help coach...yeah, you heard me...not just assistant, but Coach! Am I crazy??? Please somebody tell me if I am so I can fix it?! I can't fix the bunch of fighting 5 year olds while in front of half of the town, and I definitely can't fix their side-line parents! After every game I just want to go home and eat a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's double chunky monkey! That can't be good! I can't fix every problem of every kid and every other kid that doesn't get along with their kid! Are you confused? Well, so am I! I love most of these kids. They are so dang cute when they all go after the same ball, and when one of the girls just ducks and covers so it won't touch her. There is one, though, who has raised her son, and daughter for that matter, to be superior toward every one around them. This little boy has no respect for anyone or anything! I don't know what to do for this poor kid, especially while his health-freak mom is screaming from the side-line, "come on gabey, come on baby" while he hits the "shortest fuse" on our team with his mitt, just to see if he'll blow! Now, anybody with good advice please share??!! I know the best advice out there is to never do this again, or just quit and let the know-it-all parents take over, but I was taught to finish what I've started, so quitting is not an option! I'm so glad that there are only 7 games and we finished #4 tonight! (barely!) Three more to go. Can you dig it!

What a girl ( coach) you are , yea, we all did it, anyway tell my cute little friend he looks good in the baseball uniform, and to hit a ball hard for me. you just have to coach what you can, parents are always in the way, just ignore them, your better off. see you soon, say hi to kaden also, hugs and kisses.

You deserve a medal! See you next week!

It was a fun weekend, thanks for fixing my trailor, I should have had you stay in it. it was ok, just leave things how they were. anytime you need a place to stay its ok, i'm sure stacie says so also, she owns 1/2 of it. anyway tell McKay and Kaden thanks for taking such good care of jenny my dog. she really liked them, she is so sad because of forest dieing. I am going to New York till July 3, I leave in the morning. Tues. so I hope to see you when I get back, The ranch is so fun, I find alot of peace a sollice there. I hope I don't bug your Dad and Mom alot by being there. they are so great. I love them. anyway have them take grandpa up there , he knows he can stay in my trailor. I'll write you when I get back love and kisses to all.
