weekend recap

Here’s a recap of the last few days…

Friday…dentist in the AM, haircut at lunch, left at 5 pm. Almost bought a Frank Thomas ChiSox jersey, and did get a pair of white Chuck Taylors. Took Anna & Matthew to McDonalds, dropped Anna off, then took Matthew to BP, then to small group. Got to shoot baskets for a while, as the older CPA just got a nice backboard.

From there I left early and drove to Canton for Will’s game. Bad directions, very frustrating. Will was sick, and had been hit and was sore from all the diving he does. The whole team played poorly and they lost to a clearly inferior team. Will walked was HBP again, this time in the back. The lighting was poor, and he failed to catch a high pop in short left-center. Wouldn’t have been so bad had he not been goofing off.

Saturday…some housework and errands in the morning…I quickly washed the van in the rain. Ceil had to go down near the airport to a home school book fair…she sold almost $300.00 in books. From there she drove north of Woodstock to Will’s science fair. Luckily Will’s DH was cancelled, but Matthew got to play.

Matthew walked and scored. Just as he came up to bat a second time the opposition called time and brought in their best pitcher. M had some good cuts, but struck out. Playing second, he fielded a grounder and almost threw out the batter at first…it had been a slow roller and M was playing back, so the batter beat it out. The Rockies played well with only 9 players…barely losing to one of the best teams. Coach Tracy has let every player pitch now, and the game might’ve been different had Joshua not allowed 5 runs the inning he pitched.

That evening I took Ceil clothes shopping, to the Buckhead Abbadabbas and Perimeter Mall. She dislikes clothes shopping, but Sunday afternoon managed to find several items.

Sunday after church Ceil and Anna went off shopping. Will wrote a paper, and all afternoon Matthew wanted me to pitch tennis balls to him. All told he hit over 100 balls, be it with a tennis racquet. I was firing them in there. Got to see a little of the Hawks, as well as good chunks of the Sat and Sun Braves games…more MLB than I’d seen all season.

For some reason Mondays are always frustrating here at work. Had a 2.5 hour meeting on Tuesday’s trip to Augusta.
