I know, I suck
I know I haven't posted in what seems like forever, but hey life just hasn't given me the chance. I would love to post exciting stories of fortune and fame, but quite honestly unless you consider having to decide between selling one's home or refinancing fortune and being know as a bit overbearing by other parents fame; I have nothing to contribute.
Baseball season is getting into full swing again and I'm sure that I'm completely annoying everyone. Jason has taken over coaching Nick's team with the help from another great dad and I've pretty much taken over all logistical aspects of the team. Last night, Jason and I were talking and I told him "I bet all of these parents think I'm a stay at home mom with all the time in the world to organize every aspect of this team. They probably think I'm over zealous and annoying. How little they know, well except that I am annoying! They'd probably be shocked to find out that I hold a full-time job, manage Moira's Girl Scout troop, maintain a home that includes a husband and three kids, and still manage to schedule batting cage practices six weeks in advance." He agreed. He even admitted to making the same assumption about the woman who handled all of these details before me.
I'm looking forward to next month. Jason got me tickets to see Kathy Griffin and I'm thrilled! I absolutely adore this woman and her comedy. She seems to just say what everyone is thinking. Moira and I are also going to a weekend Girl Scout camp. Luckily, we'll get to stay in one of the lodges with actual bathrooms. I just went on one of these weekends alone a few months ago and had a blast. I really hope she enjoys it.
Other than that, there's not a lot going on. I've discovered that no one, and I mean no one, is making ends meet anymore. Everyone is struggling and that's really sad. I wish everyone financial success in 2008, even if it only means making every bill on time; to me that would be success!
