Remember- Friday is here. Don't be that person that lets Friday check in's go away.



We have practice tomorrow at EM Speed and Power Training and trying to get my dd's stick back has been a road. So may have to do a little hitting tomrrow too. Also found out that some of the girls from our local rec program want Angela to show them how to hit! I said sweet. Charge for lessons so you can pay for lessons!! HAAAA



Sunday is a chill day.

Busy, busy, busy weekend.

DD 3 is near the end of the HS season, when they play millions of games to make up the rainouts. Game yesterday, game today, game Saturday. The WIAA (Wisconsin) put in a new rule that kids can play 2 games in season with their club team, so she will play up to 2 bracket games in a tournament on Sunday. She pitched for JV2 and JV so far this week, so that will be pitching for 3 teams the same week.

DD 2 is taking an AP test right now.

DD 1 finished her freshman year a couple of days ago. She is cleaning out her dorm room now. On Tuesday she and her Tibetan roommate fly to India to spend the summer in the town where the Dalai Lama lives.

DS has his first race at the Dad Vail Regatta in about half an hour. If his boat does well, they will qualify for Nationals. I couldn't get to Nationals last year, but this year they are in Sacramento, and I worked out a business trip to San Francisco so I can see the race if he qualifies.

DD's first all-star tournament! Saturday's games are at 7:30am and 4:15pm. Apparently I'm not allowed to sleep through the first game because I'm keeping score.

We're not sure how the girls will do - 7:30am is challenging for 8U teams. Also not sure if DD will get any circle time - she didn't get much in practice, but she was more effective than the other potential #2 pitcher so she has that going for her.

Sunday will be bracket day. For Mother's Day I'm hoping either for some hardware or a quick exit so I can get a proper Mother's Day dinner.

One day tournament if it doesn't rain. We're facing some tough competition, should be fun.

DD2s first TB softball tournament is supposed to be Sat (pool) and Sun (bracket), DW not pleased. Looks like Sat may get rained out, if so, I hear they will try and play 2 pool games then right into brackets on sunday.

DD1 is playing a one day FH tournament, first with new team, 2 hours away (indoors) on Sat. DW and DD1 heading out after FH practice tonight and getting hotel. If we get word about Sat soon enough, I may join them! silver linings!

Pretty much my favorite things to do are to watch DDs play softball (both, only DD2 plays TB, both play rec), field hockey (DD1 only), or soccer (DD2 only). nerve wracking though, as DD1 is keeper for FH, DD2 pitches and catches for softball, keeper for soccer. field players parents have no idea the damage games where DDs or DSs are keepers do their parents cardiac health! ;) Hate it when I have to choose between them. DQ and I complain about being on some sports field every night of the week (and often we are on different ones on same nights), but honestly we love it, just wears you down a little, to where you pray for rainouts!

DD has semi-final and hopefully final game of rec playoffs tomorrow.

She has half the last major school project of year due Monday.

I think we are suppose to do something nice for DW after summer team practice Sunday morning.

This afternoon DD is foregoing the HS faculty vs Varsity slow pitch game in lieu of getting ready for the Thespian induction ceremony thingie. You should have seen the group texts between with mom and DD1 as to whether or not she will attend. I think I'll curl up with a bottle of bourbon starting now. Tomorrow DD1 has TB practice in the am and DD2 has her last church volleyball match. I give thanks that they are only 45 minutes in length.

Crazy, crazy week here (WarriorMike I owe you a call back)! DD1& 2 had AP Human Geography exams today (College credit as HS Freshmen...ya baby), more finals next week. DD the Catcher got into Jen Schroder's Catcher Retreat this summer, she is very excited! DD the Pitcher was notified yesterday that she is a Direct Select in the USSSA Futures All American program, she is very excited! Both of those require some significant adjustments to an already packed travel schedule this summer. Practice tonight, Tournament this weekend...3 games tomorrow and we'll see how deep they go on Sunday through the Brackets. I'm ready to marinate some ice cubes and kick back on the couch with ESPNW and some college ball!!

DD's HS team is starting the first game of a series for playoff round 3 right now. I can't be there because I am on-call for work and for my soon to be born nephew...DH is there though. They have to win two out of three games to go on to next round. Will be interesting as the first two games are a doubleheader starting now...I don't think the girls have played very many 7 inning double header games. Rest of weekends plans revolve around how they do today. Lol.
