I am sooo sick today, but I will get back to that in a minute.
Since my last post, Caleb had the best baseball game he has ever played. He started out at third base. He batted well ( a base hit and a double) and had multiple stolen bases. Then in the third inning he went in as relief pitcher. He struck out four batters and only gave up one run. It was awesome. He got the game ball. I was so proud and he was proud of himself.
Saturday night I went out to eat at Mikado's with Karen, Jay, Jake, Trish, and Taylor. It was so good.
I woke up Sunday morning soooo sick. I am pretty sure I have a raging sinus infection. I am at work today and miserable. I don't have a fever so I'm sure it's viral. I keep telling my doctor that I have the swine flu but he's not buying it. Tylenol cold is not cutting it. I gotta get better!

You Go, Girl!
I am so proud of Miss California USA for standing up for what she believes. More people should be able to go on national television and say exactly what they think. Good for her. I hate that she is getting trashed by the pageant and the media (except, of course, for Fox News).
Today is going to be a busy day. After I leave work I have to go to Caleb's game, then home, cook dinner, and get everything ready for tomorrow. I have to be at a meeting in Franklin at 6am on Wednesday (which, by the way is absolutely ridiculous and I hope you read my blog - you know who you are!), so Karen is coming to spend the night so she can take Caleb to school on Wednesday morning. Getting to work at 6 am means a 12 hour day for me. Yuck.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Good Weekend!
What a great weekend! I had so much fun seeing some old friends and meeting new ones on Friday at Kim's house. I hope to see all of you again soon.
Caleb had ball games on Friday and Saturday - they won both of them. We are off to a 5-0 start! Go Red Sox!!
Sunday was rainy and gloomy. I cleaned my house and shopped for groceries.
Today is a typical busy Monday. I have lots to do, so I should probably get off here.
Have a great day!

Go Red Sox!!
Caleb's baseball team won BIG last night! The final score was 16-8. It was sooooo cold. I was worried that they wouldn't play well because in the past they have not played well in the cold but they did great!
Not much happening today at work. It's just the same old stuff. I think Karen is having a stressful day and I hope it gets better for her.
The tree people came and got the tree off my deck yesterday, so that's a good thing. I haven't heard anything about repairs to my deck or siding yet.
Let's see.... baseball tomorrow night and Vic's party, baseball pictures and then a game on Saturday morning, then Caleb goes to Matt and Kami's to spend the night. Have a great day!!

Wednesday
Yep, that's as creative as I get today.
Today is my late night, which means I don't get off until six, which means I will miss most of Caleb's game. He is playing injured and I'm a little nervous about not being there to see it. Karen will be there and that makes me feel better.
I hope dude came and mowed my yard today because it needed it badly. I call him dude because I don't know his name. He's somebody Jay knows.
*Side note* If you are a medical professional and you accompany a family member to another medical professional's office, please be aware that when you start throwing around your medical lingo and using your big doctor words, we are going to make fun of you when you leave. We get it. You're a doctor, too. For your sake, I really wish I was more impressed, but I'm not. After being in this field for this long, it takes more than that to impress me. Thanks.
Sorry about that. This is what happens when I work and blog at the same time.
Y'all have a wonderful day!!

Five Houses and a Creek
That's all that separated my home from destruction. I'll get back to that in a bit...
It has been quite a crazy weekend. Let me backtrack to Thursday. When I picked Caleb up from the Bradford's, he complained that his wrist hurt. He was trying to put his shoes on and couldn't even move his hand. He had not said anything to Jenny before I got there but told me that he was trying to jump off the swing, changed his mind too late, then tried to grab on again and missed, flew out of the swing backward and fell on his left arm. I took him to the walk in and they x-rayed and the nurse practitioner said that she didn't see any obvious fracture but she would send it to the radiologist for an overread and call me on Friday. Caleb was out of school on Good Friday, so he got to stay with his favorite cousin, Sara. She lives in the Blackman area. I made arrangements with her so that if I found out his arm was broken, she could meet me in Triune so I could take him to his orthopaedist in Cool Springs. I got a call from the nurse practitioner around 10:30 telling me that his arm was, in fact, broken. I called ortho and got him in at 3. I called Sara to let her know. We planned to meet at 2:15 at Triune. Around 12 we were all told to go to the basement to take cover for a tornado warning. We were all in the basement of our building huddled around our computers watching the coverage. When they said that there was a tornado on the ground in Murfreesboro, I started praying. I called my mom to tell her to pray. Then they said it was on Fortress Blvd. Sara lives just off Fortress. I almost lost it. I just prayed, pleading for protection for my family. I was able to speak to Sara several times during the storm and she assured me that they were fine. I was also trying to call people on my street to find out if I still had a house. I live on the north side of town and I heard there was another tornado there. I couldn't get anyone to answer. We were given the all-clear in our building and we went back to work. I left around 2 to meet Sara, but she called me and said that she couldn't get to me. I called ortho and told them that Caleb wouldn't make it, so they told me to come to the office and pick up a splint to get him through the weekend and when he came in on Monday they would cast it. I headed home. It took me quite a while to get to Sara's house. When I arrived they had no power. We went walking through their neighborhood. Just behind their condo complex are homes that were completely destroyed. It was awful, but no one was hurt. People were already pitching in to help clean up. We stayed at Sara's for a while and then went home. I had gotten a call from my bro-in-law, Jay, saying that our house was OK. When we got home I found that a tree had fallen on my deck and my gutters were down, but otherwise everything was OK. At the house on the corner of my street the trees were ripped out, roots and all. Across the creek was where the worst damage was done. Total devastation and a young mother and baby were killed. It was just terrible.
On Saturday Caleb had a baseball game at 8am. I had planned on sleeping in because of his broken arm, but Caleb wouldn't hear of it. He said that he had to go support his team, even if her couldn't play. When we got there it was cold and misty and we were short several players. We had one player on the way, but only seven players on the field, and we needed eight to start the game. The coach asked if he could put Caleb in the outfield to avoid a forfeit. I said yes, so Caleb put on the coach's glove and went out to center field. He actually had to field a couple of balls, then the other player showed up so he didn't play the rest of the game.
Sunday was Easter. It was a nice day. We went to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was really funny.
Yesterday Caleb had an appointment with the orthopaedist. He said that he wanted to put Caleb in a cast so he could continue to play ball as long as he promised not to slide. He doesn't want him falling on that arm again. Caleb was so excited. He gave Caleb a red and blue cast to match his Red Sox uniform. Then we had to go by my office so he could show off his cast to Matt and Jamie. Then we went home to wait for the insurance people and the tree surgeon. The tree surgeon didn't get there until late so he is coming back today to remove the tree. I'm hoping I can get a new deck and siding. We shall see.
Please continue to pray for the families touched by the storms this past weekend. It will be a long rebuilding process for everyone.

Prayer Requests and Pie
First of all, my thoughts and prayers go out to Karen and Mackenzie Miller and the rest of Dan Miller's family and friends. I have watched him on the news for so long. It will be strange to see Demetria without Dan.
Second, please pray for my best friend Mandy and her family. Her Grandma is in the hospital with pneumonia and her Aunt Annie is also in the hospital.
Third, I want to thank Sara for the caramel pie. It is sooooooo good.

Live... In HD!
Yesterday the Direct TV man came and installed my dish. I don't know how I've lived without it. Backtracking a bit - when I came home from vacation, Mom and Daddy had bought me and Caleb a new 42 inch LCD HDTV. Karen and Jay had installed it while I was away. Great surprise, huh? So I decided that I needed a new HD receiver for it. I decided to go with Direct because it's half the price of Comcast. So the guy came and installed it and he did so in time for me to order Wrestlemania 25 in HD. Caleb was thrilled! I have to say, HD is quite impressive. In fact, after four hours of HD wrestling, It was kinda shocking to go back to my bedroom TV. It looked fuzzy and out of focus. I have so many channels now that I am a bit overwhelmed by it all. Plus, the channel numbers are different than Comcast so it's hard to remember where everything is, but I will get used to it.
OK, I just got distracted. My friend at work, Rebekah, has a grandson named Jackson. He's three and absolutely hilarious. He and Rebekah's husband, Jim, came to visit. Jackson just said, "Hey, Mimi, let's play origami." Rebekah said, "What's origami?" He looked at her like she was completely stupid and said, "Uh, the Japanese art of paper folding." HE'S THREE! Bwahahaha! I lost it. Sheesh. That child!!
Anywho, I'm hoping Caleb's baseball game gets rained out. It's just too stinkin cold to be sitting on metal bleachers. They won their first game 17-4. The other team just didn't have a pitcher, bless their hearts. Caleb walked every single at-bat.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love y'all!

Friday
Yay for Friday!!
We have a busy weekend. Tomorrow starts baseball season, so we will spend the majority of tomorrow at the ball park. Then I have to clean my house because the Direct TV people are coming Sunday afternoon to install my dish. I have to dust and sweep behind all the TVs. No fun, but it will be worth it. My doc is going to NY this weekend and will be gone Monday and Tuesday, so those will be easy days for me.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
