Off to the Big District!
As much as I’m sure most of you are not at all interested in Little League Baseball, I have to tell you that we are on our way to play in the 11/12 District Tourney today and tomorrow. Our boys came in 2nd in Sub District after an umpire-induced, devastating defeat in the bottom of the 7th inning Tuesday night in the championship game. It’s kind of hard to win after having to give the other team 4 outs per inning.
But I’m not bitter, really. Those guys work hard for the big bucks.
And I work hard to stay ingognito behind my big ole black sunglasses when I’m gently reminding them to wear their thicker glasses to the next game or suggesting their moms wear combat boots. Yes, ma’am. There is a reason I don’t wear our church t-shirts to the ballgames. I wouldn’t want to embarass Jesus or I*** Baptist.
Or Luke. Can’t forget about him. Is it even necessary or me to tell you we don’t sit anywhere near each other on the sidelines?
Oh well…I’ll be off for a couple of days. Wish my boy Godspeed and me a restrained tongue. And also pray we aren’t scheduled a Sunday game cause, y’all, we don’t do Sunday ball if it means missing church. It kind of ruins the preacher’s testimony, dontcha think?
Have a great weekend!
Have fun! And take plenty of sunscreen and water!
Here is wishing you a restrained tongue…..you can take my dad along if you like and he can yell at the umpire for you. Then it will just seem like some crazy man who came to the game. Thus saving you from embarrassing anyone. =)
Have fun. And good luck to the “boy”.
Hey Lisa!
Its all fun being a Mum isn’t it?! Just wanted to show you some pics of my girlie on my blog I just put some recent ones up.

Lots of love,

You behave:)) lol!!! And have a good time!
Tell Son #1 that I wish him and the team all the best!!
Keep me briefed on the games…including any stomping of umps Moms:) Love that one!
I’ll be rooting for ya’ll from afar! :)
I’m pretty sure that my hubby won’t sit anywhere near me, either, when it comes time for my little one to be out there playing.
Oh, and they better not schedule that game on Sunday!!
I’ve always been really shocked that here in Texas of all places they have kids’ sports on Sundays – we used to have batting practice so close after 12 it was the great race from church, change in the car, the whole business. But they won’t start anything before noon – it’s like some weird kind of Blue Law.
Sounds like fun! With our older daughters, there was nothing on Sundays, but it’s changed in our area of Texas the past five years. It does seem to be in the larger towns/cities. Here in our small town nothing is planned or Sundays or Wednesday nights.
This stuff is in my blood Lisa and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
I really am praying for you…hold that tongue ok?? I pray that for myself too. :)
Good luck…take pix!
Love,
Fran

Sigh, I miss those days. And I don’t think it hurts the preacher’s testimony to let his son know that said son is important to preacher dad. That isn’t to say I don’t see your point either.
Boy I would love to be the woman sitting near you snickering at the crazy mother!!! You don’t carrry a cow bell do you?!!! Have fun!
Have a great day at the games and I love your testimony of not attending Sunday games. There are women I don’t see at church all summer long because of the games.
Be a good girl and go out there to practice the fruit of the Spirit…Self-Control!
Blessings,
Nancy
Hope it is going well!
And now THAT description is of the Lisa I remember from high school, right?! Seems like I remember ya at a few RHS ballgames! LOL
We don’t play on Sundays either. My son and I have cried many Saturday nights as we left a tounament knowing that the team was going to be playing on Sunday without him. But I believe God will honor us for the decision for not playing on Sundays. I’m proud of you!
