Alright people, you wont believe this one!!!

Game time :12:00

Team to beat: VENOM ( yea right)

Let me just say this has been what seems to be a very long Fall season, last Fall we only had 12 games and 6 of them were rained out. This season we have had 14 games and 3 of the Saturday’s had double headers.

the first 5 weeks I would go to the game and sit with the other mom’s, who brought the grandma’s and grandpa’s, Aunts, Uncles and cousins of the girls on the team. And Perri and I would just show up, just her and I and although it was just us we still had a good time. But We really brought it at the end of the season, Daddy’s frind Tina started coming, so her and I would sit together. The Grandma and Grandpa came to a game, so it was Me, Tina and Gmom and Gpop. We had a group! YEA! Then….Aunt janie and Uncle Todd came with Robbie and Ryan, so it was the four of them, Me and Tina! WOW, we almost took up a whole row  in the bleachers! we needed two blankets stretched out to sit on. Well then the last game of the season, this past Saturday we had out biggest group ever! Our friends from Vegas came for the weekend to visit, so it was Mark, Kellie, Tyler and Chayse ( thier two kids) Uncle John, Aunt Christine, Emily and Jackie, Me and David. We took up two rows. We were all spread out but Perri had the biggest Cheering section ever! and you could tell. Although she didn’t swing the bat ( yes the nice shiney new bat we bought her) for some reason she doesn’t want to swing it, maybe she doesn’t want to get it dirty, maybe she thinks it’s too shiney, maybe she just wants to keep it looking new, I don’t know but she wont swing! So again, we have a huge crowd there ready to see Perri give that ball a ride, but you can’t give it a ride if you don’t swing! I think she does it to drive me crazy! it’s just like her to do that.

 This is how I think Perri’s little mind might be working when she is on her way up to the plate

“ Mommy told me to swing, so I’m not going to. Daddy told me to swing but I don’t feel like it.  My bat is too pretty! it’s blue, real shiney and I don’t want to wreck it!  I might want to use it in the spring, I can’t show up in the spring with a dirty scratched up  bat, how embarrassing. SSHHEESSH! If they wanted me to actually use the bat they should have gotten me an ugly one, They can’t make me, there is a big fence between me and them, they would have to walk all the way around the fence during the game to get me to swing, and I know they wont do that. So I’m just going to walk up to the plate, hit the plate really hard to knock the dirt off of my bat and then just stand there. I wish I could see my Mom’s face when I am just standing there doing nothing, I can just imagine what Daddy is thinking. But they have to understand, if I would just get a good pitch I might try to swing but I really don’t want to waste my energy. I need my energy to do the cheering in the dug out, I need to save my energy to  do the team chant in the center of the filed at the end of the game. And  as long as I’m on this side of the fence “Your not the boss of me”.

This is of course my view and my view only and probably not any where close to what she is actually thinking but it sure sounds like something she may do maybe later in life, like when she’s 13.

Anyway!!!
