Snaps for Lexi

02 Aug

There’s something about my daughters’ birthdays that makes me all sentimental. Alexia turned 7 on Friday (July 31), and I spent a lot of time last week reflecting.

I have a great kid. Despite her ADD and ability to zone off into never never land, Lexi is awesome.  I don’t give her enough credit.

She’s a great sister and a good friend. She rarely holds a grudge, and is almost always the first to comfort little sister Ella…when I don’t get there first.  Her teachers love that she’s adaptable and ameanable. And she’s the first they ask to play with another child who seems to be lonely or having a bad day.

I love you, Doodle Bug!

mom of the year I am not

29 Jun

Last week of the softball season, and I am a mixed basket of emotion about it. On one hand, I’m glad Lexi has only one more game to play. On the other, I’d like to play more.

Last night was an oddly-scheduled Monday night game; we usually play on Tuesday and Thursday.  Even so, it has been in my planner and on the calendar for weeks. 

We missed all but the last half of the last inning anyway. I got the time wrong. Not cool, Mom. Not cool at all.  

See, I’ve been obsesive all season long about double and triple checking to make sure we arrive on time. Last night, I screwed up. The game I had scheduled for 7:00 actually began at 6:00. Bummer! 

At least we showed up on the right field…and on the right night. Lexi did get a chance to bat. And she was totally cool about it otherwise.

Our last game is Thursday at 8:00. Will I be back to checking multiple schedules to ensure we don’t miss it? 

Did I really have to ask?
