Ummm, Didn't the Calendar say it is Spring already...

Hello, as I drove my 2 beautiful to children to school this morning I noticed something. The date today is April 7th, and outside the window on the way to school I saw a dusting of snow on the ground. On the red clay mud of North Alabama there is snow on the ground. Can you believe it?! So this evening after school I will take my children home and dress my BBB in sweats, 2 shirts, winter cap to cover his ears and his cleats and send him down the street for baseball practice. HELLLLOOOOOOO, God have you looked at a calendar? It is suppose to be Spring turn on the sun and warmer weather PLEASE!!!!!

It is begining to sound like Summer....

Have I mentioned that I spend an obscene amount of time at our park once baseball/softball season starts? Honestly, I am there every single day....rain or shine. Albeit, if it is raining I only go and look around but I go down there. I don't know why I go down there....I guess to just be close to the fields. I love it there. I would stay down there all night if I didn't think my husband would divorce me.

So, tonight I actually had business down there. We were having a meeting. (that people actually showed up for...can you believe it) I flew home as fast as I could and told Frick and Frack that they could go with me. I dropped Pudge off with her Daddy and off we went. Frick loaded down with Pokemon cards and Frack with sidewalk chalk. There were several other kiddos there thank goodness and off they went. They adults got underway and then you could hear it....just listen.....about 12 kids all having a terrific time. Now some of these kids haven't seen each other since last summer, others have only been together 2-3 times and you would think that they have known each other for years! I love it. They were running and playing, color side walks and trading cards. I love the sound of kids playing at the park....It makes me smile....

Why is it....

Here in the great state of Alabama (read God's Country) March and April are very rainy months. But why can't a kid catch a break. It was been cold and rainy every day that has been a practice day and then TODAY it is 65 and sunny! What is the deal?? Some cruel April Fool's Day joke?? I mean come on....let's play ball already!!!!
