It’s been a sort kinda type of day. I sorta understood about 30% of what was being said in a meeting I attended. I kind of got a few things done on my to-do list. My most successful cjore today was moving things from today’s and into tomorrow’s list. My errands at lunch were kinda […]
My baby girl learned a hard life lesson tonight. This is her all sassy and spunky after she nailed and I do mean NAILED a ball that earned her a spot on third and eventually home. The bolts were losing against a corn-fed-country girl team of hard hitters. They’d lost 10-0 and gotten run ruled […]
