It all started last weekend, I couldn’t sleep Saturday night, and this trend has continued through today. Last night I was up at 3:00 a.m., half tempted to just get up, but decided to try to go back to sleep. I was up past 5:00 a.m., and I finally got a little rest. Dylan was up before 7:00 a.m., but Thade is still snoozing.
Yesterday we went to purchase a T-Ball Glove for Thade, our local Wal-Mart had completely sold out, so we had to shop out of town. With the gas prices at $3.59, I wasn’t looking forward to the trip. I made the most of it though, and stopped off at Aldi to stockpile the pantry, and I picked up Arby’s for lunch. I even treated myself to a Grande Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino at Starbucks 🙂 My frugal mind said no do not buy the $4.02 coffee, but Nico’s love of Starbucks took over and I enjoyed every delicious sip of my coffee. All in all it was a fun trip, but a bit pricey in the old gas tank…
We had Thade’s first T-Ball practice last night, and he could not wait to go. Both boy’s were up before 7:00 a.m. yesterday morning, and all day Thade asked when T-ball practice was, I kept telling him it was at 7:15 p.m. Mr. 20 Questions (Thade’s new nickname) continued asking all day, by 6:00 p.m., he couldn’t wait to go, so Dad took him outside to practice catching in the back-yard.
When 7:15 p.m. finally made it Thade was happy/grumpy/anxious/exhausted. He finally got to go and play, but after the 12 hour wait, it took him a little bit of time to get used to the Baseball environment and the new team. He loved the baseball field though, and running the bases too. I got a little nervous when he got to Bat first, this was Thade’s first time even holding a Bat. He did well, and hit the ball right off of the Tee 🙂
His coach is really nice, and the team looks great 🙂 I think that it is going to be a fun T-Ball season, and games start very soon. I think the kiddos have one more practice, and then the games begin. I’m bringing snacks and drinks to the first game, so I should probably find out just when that game is happening 😉
Today I’ll be catching up around the house, and making a few phone calls. I’ve been trying to get a hold of the Lawnmower repair guy for about 5 days now. Our mower is in the shop, and this dude is not returning my calls… Grrr! The lawn is in desperate need of a mow, so I’m hoping to hear from him today.
I hope that your morning is going well, and that your day isn’t too busy 🙂
Sounds like you have been a busy girl! Good for you for treating yourself at Starbucks……we all need that sometimes 🙂 I hope Thade has a great time playing t-ball…..sounds like it is going to be fun….can’t wait to hear all about it. Have a great day! Ellie
I bet your guy had a blast at Tball, my guy would love that too. My husband calls Starbucks “Fivebucks”, because you can’t get anything there for less than five dollars LOL.
Have a good day, Nico 😀 .
Yay for Starbucks and Nico! Hope you have a great day and get some rest!!! Blessings!!!
7:15 is late for t ball, isn’t it? Our practice was always over by 5:30. Starbucks does sound good. I was tempted yesterday at Albertson’s by the Starbucks in the store. I decided to take the cheap route instead and bought a 35 cent can of soda from the machine. Maybe I’ll try for a nice frappucino around Mother’s Day. I hope that you get back on track with your sleep schedule.Take care!
Thanks Ellie! T-Ball was a lot of fun for Thade, and the Starbucks was a great treat for me too. I’m 30 minutes away from the closest Starbucks, so I like to stop there whenever I’m shopping out of town 🙂 Hope you are having a great day!
Thanks Susan! “Fivebucks” is a great name for Starbucks, it is a little pricey, but so tasty. The closest Starbucks is a 30 minute drive for me, how I wish we had one locally.
Thanks Marva! I do love my Starbucks 🙂 I hope to get a little more rest, maybe its just the Spring weather that has me restless.
Thanks Mimi! I have to agree with you 7:15 is a little late for practice! The practice also lasted an hour, Thade was so tired by the time that we made it home, and he still had to get a bath. I haven’t seen the schedule, so I have no idea what time the games will be at.
Nice job on your sweet treat too! Starbucks for Mother’s Day sounds like a great day to me!
