Didn't care if I only had 5 hours of sleep or that I had a cold coming on.
It was one of the Best Days Ever.
Jake pitched for the first time and rocked the mound for a whole inning. Three strike outs. One was after he threw three balls and came back to throw three strikes IN A ROW! Even the other team had to give it to him. They started swinging the bat after that. Lordy I hate it when kids just sit and wait for bad pitches and a walk. Swing the bat damnit! Play ball!
Then Ron and Jake went to a Boy Scout event-a Dad and Son thing. I tidied up, ate a chicken salad, played with Hershey (the cat) and watched the Nanny Diaries. It was ok but getting to watch a whole chick flick by myself in the daytime is pure indulgence.
Then off to Ali's house for rockin party! Fabulous food, Asian in theme, Ron bbqed chick and steak. Everyone brought a yummy dish, we brought a cooler full of Pacifico, Tecate and lime and soft bubbly for the kids. Paul picked out the most delish strawberry and custard cake with beautiful rainbow candles that Colleen, Conlan and Jake brought out in the dark. Happy Birthday to me!
Then we danced, danced, danced. Jam session with Ali's amazing percussion collection, we even had a break dancing competition. If Ali's dj-ing, it's a party! We raised the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.
Ok, my fingers are tired from the big weekend, no more typing.
I'm going to gaze on my Mother's Day/birthday presents, cards, flowers and Ron already blew up a picture of Jake's first time on the mound and framed it. And I get to look forward to jewelry classes with sister Jeane and etc., etc., etc.
I am the luckiest girl in the world....
