Tonight was full of the things I love about Little League: drama, friendly camaraderie, excitement, laughter, suspense. Oh, and some torrential rain ( Read more... )

In my previous post I wrote about the logistics of last Thursday. It turned out fine, of course. I ended up going with the option that was less logistically complicated but that involved me not seeing the kids for almost a full 24 hours. The babysitter picked them up after school, and since it was a ridiculously hot day, they basically just hung ( Read more... )

I've been almost completely absent from LJ lately (maybe you've noticed) - just so busy with everything going on in life, not to mention my newfound PackRat obsession. ;P Anything momentous going on with you? (I'm always kind of amused when people post that, like, "if you posted anything recently that you think I should see, let me know." Are ( Read more... )

Last night was completely ridiculous. I shall attempt to post more about it later. For now, just the summary: Sox scored 10 runs in the first inning. Rangers scored 8 runs in the fifth inning. Final score: Red Sox 19, Texas 17. zomg.
