Red Sox 12, Tigers 4

Way to go Red Sox!! It was a great game. Caleb played very well. He had several great hits to drive in runs when we really needed them. Caleb said, "I'm glad I didn't go on vacation!" They got their championship trophies and t-shirts. After the game we had our banquet. There was a ton of barbecue and everyone just sat around and ate and talked. It was fun.

Mom left for Jacksonville yesterday. She took Caleb and his friend, Daniel, with her. They will have fun. I think she is going to take them to Universal and the Zoo. Should be fun. They will be back next week.

Sunday was relaxing. I got up and went to church, then came home to wait for the cable guy to come. I got DirecTV a couple of months ago but the Comcast people hadn't come to disconnect the cable and take the boxes. They said that they would be there "sometime Sunday." I waited and waited. I finally called at 3:45 and was told that they had been there while I was at church. Now I have to go drop of the boxes sometime. Sheesh. Then I worked out with my Wii and had a healthy supper of salmon and veggies. Yummy.

I guess that's it. Have a great Monday.

Good Luck, Red Sox!!

Caleb's baseball team is playing in their division championship game tomorrow. I really hope they win! They played really well in their last game, so now it's on to the Tigers. We have won one and lost one this season to the Tigers. We really need to be on our game to win tomorrow. I have no doubt that they can pull it off. Go Red Sox!!

Booooooring.

I am soooooo bored. Matt is off this week and I am here at work handling clinic by myself. This is going to be a really long week.

This weekend was pretty good. I bought the new EA Active game for the Wii. It's a workout game. It gives me a personal trainer and a personalized workout routine. It is fun and rewarding, but on Sunday I could hardly stand to move around. Saturday's workout was mostly lower body and there were many lunges involved. I was so sore! It was hard to get up and down, so moving around in heels at church proved to be most painful. My hard work is paying off, though, because I've lost 8.5 pounds! Yay! My mom bought me this Weight Watchers cookbook and we have made a few recipes out of it. They have been healthy and yummy.

This week we have baseball tournament. We thought that we would have to face the White Sox in the first round, but they lost to the Cardinals. We have already won twice against the Cardinals this season, so hopefully we can make it three and go on to the championship game later this week. Good luck, Red Sox!

Karen is having a rough week so far (check out her blog - I have a link). Today she broke her iPhone. She slipped and fell and caught herself on her phone and it destroyed the pixels in the screen, so it won't work at all. She cried on the phone with the Apple people and they took pity on her and agreed to replace it if she would pay $79 for the replacement plan. She's playing this pregnancy thing for all it's worth ;)

That's it for now - have a great day!

Proud Mom

I am very proud of Caleb. Anyone who know us know this. Last night, however, he made me very proud. Last summer he went on vacaction with another family to the Alabama gulf area. He had that same opportunity again this year. He had a blast last time. The have a huge home there and live down the road from a yacht club with pools and waterslides. They have a boat and take the kids out tubing and stuff. He loved it. This year it conflicts with his ball tournament. He had already made plans to go to Alabama but the tournament was schedule right in the middle of that same week. His ball team finished first in the regular season and has a chance to win it all. He had a very big decision to make. He told me last night that he could not let his team down because they were counting on him and he had made a commitment to the team and would not miss the tournament so he could go on vacation. I told him that it was up to him and it didn't matter to me one way or the other, but that if his decision was to back out of the trip, he would have to tell Matt himself. I sent Matt a text ahead of time asking him to call me. When he did, Caleb took the phone and went in his room. I tried to resist the urge to listen because he obviously wanted his privacy, but I couldn't help it. He told Matt the situation and the last thing he said was, "I'm really sorry, and thank you for inviting me." When he got off the phone he said, "Mom, that was the hardest thing I've ever done." He really wanted to go and did not want to dissapoint Matt. I told him that I knew it would be hard, but that's why I made him do it. I am so proud of him for putting what he wanted aside for the good of his team. I am glad he has that sense of resposibility. He really, really wanted to go but he just kept saying, "I can't let them down, Mom. They are counting on me. I can go on vacation anytime." What a great kid!!

Shut Up, Sara! Nobody Asked You!

Let's see if I can make this post worth your time.

Caleb and I had a fun weekend. We went to Big Eddie's for a cookout. It wasn't his usual blowout because it was too muddy down by the creek because of all the rain. He cooked wings on the grill. They were good, but not as good as when he smokes them in the pit all day. We had fun, though. Mandy and Chris, Brian and Jen, all the Mitchells, and the Tuckers were there. Caleb got to play with Madison, Emily, and Tyler all day long. They climbed trees and played kickball. The adults sat around and ate and talked. Big Eddie and I even sang a few duets. Too funny!

I have been on a diet / exercise program for a little over a week now. Mom bought us a Wii and a balance board, so I have been doing Wii Fit every day. It is so much fun and I have lost three pounds since I started. I have never found any kind of exercise that I like to do until now. I like it so much that after being at the Mitchells for nine hours on Saturday and getting back at 9:30, I still did almost an hour of Wii Fit after I got home. I love it! It's kickin my butt, but I love it!

Everyone have a good day!!

Memorial Day

I hope that everyone enjoys this long Memorial Day weekend! I know I will. I love three day weekends!

Love y'all!!

Mother's Day

I hope all of you had a fantastic mother's day. I know I did. Caleb got me a Vera Bradley bag with matching umbrella. It is so cute. Also, when I woke up on Sunday, he had made me breakfast in bed. He woke me up around 7:30 and said, "Happy mother's day, Mom! I made breakfast." I looked on my nightstand and there was a bowl of Crunchberries cereal and a Minute Maid juice box. Sweet boy!

Today has been a busy day at work. My doc was out on Friday so we are playing catch up. I'd better get back to it. Have a great day!
