I’m sitting here full of coffee and honey toast watching Mom on tv.
There is a child sleeping in my bed, clean laundry all around me I can’t put away in my bedroom, and wet cleats in the oven turned on low.
My life is sooo exciting! π
I was going to throw the cleats in the dryer but it’s still broken. Maybe next week we can call a guy…
Today is more baseball, the All Girls Baseball Tournament. We got drenched halfway through the second game yesterday; it almost looked like the cloud was directly above our field and nowhere else. We could see blue sky and sunshine on the fringes…anyway the diamond turned into a mud pit but the girls were dancing in it. You know, because that’s what 11 year olds do in summer rain. π
I had a hard time getting her to come to the car…she couldn’t hear me yelling out the window so I had to take the waterproof picnic blanket which I had carefully laid out over the backseat of the car and wrap it around me while sprinting over to the dugout.
Needless to say I got drenched. π³
Long story short I got us both home and washed and fed before I collapsed into bed at 7 pm and read my book for maybe 10 minutes until I literally crashed. Slept through till 4:30 am which is two hours longer than yesterday.
Note: Jetlag takes longer to overcome in midlife than in young people. For example, it’s 6 am now and the girl child is still fast asleep. π΄
And so another day of baseball begins.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I better go check if the cleats are baked. π
What a great idea putting cleats in the oven.

I like “Mom”, and like you, today is Laundry day. Ours is not clean yet, so you are way ahead of us. It is 100 degrees (F) outside. It is 72 degrees inside. Guess where I will be staying today?

I was paranoid I’d forget them and burn them. π

You might be gifted a cook book if someone spots cleats in the oven π

Watching Mom on TV? Did I miss something? Is your mother an early morning news broadcaster?

Thanks. Never heard of it, but then I’m not much of a tv person. I do like Allison Janney though.

It’s a cleverly done show. Allison plays Bonnie, recovering adfict, Anna plays her daughter Christy, also a recovering addict, who has 2 kids of her own… π

Baking the cleats…that’s a clever trick and one that would have been useful years ago for our softballer. Hope the rain stays away for you today π

Jet lag is awful and yes it just gets worse as you get older.
