Parked at the Park

I don't know which is worse, spending nearly 7 hours at the ballpark for a double-header and coming away with two losses. Or spending 7 hours at the ballpark for a double-header, getting home way after 10 p.m. and facing 2 hours of homework!

They both sound bad to me. I bet Carter feels the same!

We had a DH at Nekoosa that was supposed to start at 4 but didn't going til 4:15. I had to leave at 5:30 to get to meeting at school that I will talk about some other time. That lasted an hour and that first game was still going on!

Lots of runs and we actually led at one point but lost 9-8 in the last inning. Then they had like a half hour break between the games so I had time to get back to Nekoosa to watch the second game. That one seemed to go forever, mainly due to lots of walks. High scoring again and we rallied in our last inning, down 11-5 and ended up losing 11-9.

This whole time, mind you, we were all wrapped up in as many blankets as possible and dodging occasional raindrops. I just kept thinking, I wish our cat was trained to turn on my blanket so my bed will be toasty warm when I get home.

Well, she isn't. And that didn't happen. At this hour, I am going to bed anyway.

I don't know how we're going to keep up our stamina with 9, yes 9, baseball games this week! Games -- mostly double-headers -- every day this week except Wednesday. That night will be packed with about 16 errands left un -run so far, plus a long list of things to do at home.

Uff da. Having our butts parked at the park is way harder than a walk in the park! Gotta give credit to our boys for getting through it all.

Go Royals!
