Everyone knows I don't care for Texas, well guess what, I care even less for Oklahoma!!!!!! However, for the first time in 10 years, Team Texas took the championship of the Sunbelt Classic!!!!!

Q17 had some major attitude adjustments that needed corrected, which finally happened towards the end of the week. Ms. Prissy thought we drove all the way to Okie hell for her to swim 24/7. However, there were two days where the game wasn't till night time, so the kids swam and the mother's sat around the pool talking and getting some sun. And boy howdy, I got a very very good start on my tan!!!

Now to start things off right ~ this photo is for T'sey ~ since I know how much she is missing this town :biggrin

See T'sey I thought of you !!!

Well, I'm having one of those days over a several year period!!!! There is a saying that God only hands out more than you can offer, however, this is getting more than ridiculios (however you spell it). It seems like every time I claw my way to the top and over one hurdle thinking I might have some time to stop and get some water to drink and enjoy the smell of the flowers. Only to find out I have another hurdle I have to dig my nails into and climb some more ~ throwing hands up in defeat ~ I'm tired ~ I'm aggervated ~ I want to be able to drink some water and smell the flowers at least for a week before having to begin another steep climb in my life!!!!!

I just feel like the world is having way too much fun in watching the demise of myself and it is happening sooner than later ~ when it is complete I sure hope then who ever; whatever etc gets to enjoy the bliss I have yet been able to enjoy for longer than a day at best!!!!

I sure hope that other's have better days and day than I have been fighting through!!!

Well we are on the count down for our trip to the wonderful state of Oklahoma (note high sarcasm there!!!). Q17 is growing nervous, his swing is out of wack and is really worried about his performance during this tournament won't be up to par. I have faith in him he'll get everything right in his mind and body.

Little Ms Prissy is excited to be able to go on this road trip. She says she is excited about having mama to herself. She wasn't real thrilled when I explained the purpose of this trip is baseball baseball baseball, yet she cheered up real quick when I informed her there was a pool where we would be staying. In her mind all is now right in her world. I hope she still feels that way when we arrive :biggrin.

It shouldn't be all bad though, I'm hoping that our friends that live about 2 hours away will come and see Q17 play ball and Ms. Prissy wants to see them so badly. Hopefully schedules will allow that to happen only time will tell.

Well I guess I should stop boring everyone and get busy with finishing up the laundry in preparation of having all uniforms ready to go plus also a game tonight. Our lives are consumed with baseball right now and then the scariest part is next year it will be consumed with my babies senior year. *sniffle*.

Tata for now ~ miss me while I"m gone :biggrin

Saying that I will give it my best to participate in an event I believe is important ~ "Blogging For LBGT Families". I tend to get in loads of trouble when I weigh in on this issue so be gentle with me please!!!

Since I read about this on T's blog I have been trying to research to at least be knowledgeable with facts on the fights that LBGT families have ahead of them. I found some information, but nothing that julted me to get my creative juices flowing. So this morning I called T to get some advise from her, let me just say this, she was no help what so ever :biggrin. So all I can blog about it what I have witness in this walk with T since the day she "came out".

As a mother, I know I'm a strict one, however, with a teenager in the house I remember my teenage years with strict parents and I at least try to give some rope to express their freedom.

Examples: I allow my kids when they are aggervated, mad or whatever to express themselves. Even if it is disrespectful, which during those times it is very disrespectful. But I allow it for them to get it out of their system and then we are able to talk about it and come to an agreement. I also am very VERY firm about the fact about drinking ~ note for the teenager ONLY!!! If he wants something to drink all he has to do is ask.

Lets face it, teenagers are going to be teenagers, they are going to try it. My view is this I would rather have him try it at home than go somewhere else drink and then drive.

Well the WRATH of MAMA is lose!!!

My very intelligent son (note HIGH SARCASM THERE) not only went out one night, drank then drove, but LIED TO ME ABOUT IT AFTER HE HAD BEEN BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!! I told him I couldn't prove it YET so he had the benifit of the doubt, but today I could PROVE IT and then he admitted it.

Yes my head spun around several times and came close to pea soup being spewed very where!!!! I'm so livid I can not see straight!!!!

I'm sure I have some that never comment that will read this and think that I'm too strict and that is the cause of this ~ welcome to my fan club ~ however this isn't about me!!!!! It is about my child's inability to stand on his own two feet and say NO!!!!! It is about my eldest child's bright future with one or more bad decisions being flushed down the toliet or God Forbid 6 ft under or putting someone else there!!!

I so have to calm down before I make my choice of punishment!!!!!!! No matter how livid I am the worst part of all of this is my huge disappointment in my eldest.

Now if anyone comments about if I didn't drink my child wouldn't be interested ~ I swear I might have to turn my anger to you!!! I lived in a home that drinking was a NO NO it only made me want to try it more!!!! So let's all be smart and NOT go there!!!!!

Can I just scream GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Thank you and good nite!!!
