Home for the holidays

My wonderful husband has managed to get a four day weekend for this Labor Day weekend; I'm so thrilled! His boss forced him to take today off, since he has not had vacation yet this year, and is in fact working 50+ hours each week on top of being back in school. Which means, family wise for us, we don't see him from Monday night through Friday night. The kids (and myself) are really missing him, so this forced four days of togetherness will be good for us all. As long as we don't kill each other, that is.

Plus, this weekend, I believe that my dad is coming out here for a day or two. He's in Cali for my cousins wedding, and thought he might stop by on the way back to Iowa. This will be another added bonus, as he plays in a softball league, and I just joined a softball league. What was I thinking?!? Years ago, I played softball, and was actually damn good at it. Our team took the championship that year, I almost got my nose broken at shortstop, but still managed to make the play and then come up to bat later that inning. I loved softball, but then we moved to Arizona and everything was so different. So, remembering all the fun I used to have, I joined, along with my neighbor. Again, what was I thinking?!? I am not so athletic anymore. I've gotten lazy in my stay at home mom job. So, with my dad out here, I can get even more assistance getting back into the 'swing' of things. (pun intended) On the good side, at least I can still catch and throw really well. I just need some batting practice.
