Yesterday was a normal work day, then Peyton had practice at 4 pm as usual, while Brandon had a make up game from the rain. Dave dropped the kids off at cdc early, while I went in early thinking I had to conduct an interview. I was off by a couple of days, but it allowed me to get some work done. Dave went to get Peyton and take her to practice. Coach was running some scenarios, keeping the girls in one position. I’d gone home since it’s on the way to practice, just to change into more sporty clothes. Peyton was playing second base, and they were cycling through where the plays are. At one point, she fielded it, but her short stop didn’t run back to cover second. Peyton ran over, tagged second, and said, “I had to cover myself!” The other dad and I, watching from the sidelines, had a good laugh over the running commentary the girls have. They are very giggly compared to the boys. I even had to throw back a few balls, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t look silly. Luckily, I threw it back hard enough to get it the distance I needed back to the coach. Phew! After practice, I took Peyton back home. I’d gotten an email back from my PTA chair telling me about the budget meeting for next year, back at school. I picked up my folder and had Peyton change out of shorts back into pants to head over to Brandon’s game, already in progress. They started at 530 pm, and Peyton’s practice ended at the same time. We got to the park, and I asked Peyton to look at the score. She said, “O-3.” I asked if visitor or home. She said, “Visitor!” I told her that was our team! I couldn’t believe they were leading! This was a team mostly of kids from Brandon’s school. This was the first time we’d seen them this year since there had been so many rain outs early on in the season when all the intraleague games were scheduled. Our team was up by the time we got situated. It was already the top of the third inning. When Brandon got up to bat, the team was all shouting to back up. I had set up Peyton with dinner I’d gotten at the store earlier in the day, during lunch. I’d kept it cold in our mini fridge. I’d gotten a lavosh wrap for her and a kale salad for me. While I was eating mine, she told me, “You’re going to save me half, right?” Uh, well, I hadn’t planned on it, but I did help her eat her wrap and then gave her some of my salad. She kept busy with homework while I got to watch the game. It was cold, so I’m glad I’d gotten her pants and had grabbed the UCLA blanket from Michelle. We got tagged up on a few stolen base attempts, but there was one fantastic double play at third. The thirdbaseman nabbed a line drive, and there was a runner going without tagging up. The thirdbaseman instinctively stepped down on the bag for the second out! It wasn’t enough though, as the other team fired off runs against our pitchers. We lost by 3 runs. Brandon said he’d hear about it later at school, but he didn’t even leave the parking lot before getting the stink eye from the set of twins, only one of which played. He said something not nice across the parking lot, but his mom quickly corrected it. I said goodnight to both kids and headed off to school. Brandon took it well, saying not much, other than bye. I later found out why there was such an uproar from the other team when Brandon got up. We missed Brandon’s at-bat where he drove the ball to the outfield fence! The other coach told Dave if it’d been at the other, smaller field, it would have been a home run. Dave missed it, too, as he was in the dug out talking to kids. He heard the crack of the bat and turned around to look where it went. Brandon over ran second base, and had taken a few steps toward third before turning back to tag it. He’d been called out before for a similar play, so at least he’s learning from mistakes.
I had a two hour budget meeting to sit through so I could get my feet wet for next year, along with the principal, VP of finance, and PTA president. I got home and it was after 9pm. I’d requested Peyton practice piano, and by the looks of the book splatter, it looked like she did.
This morning, I got up and ready for work at my usual time. I clocked in by 6 am and did chart review until 8 am. I drove back to school to chaperone the field trip at In and Out. I made it back to school by 830 am, and even got a message to Brandon to get to CDC after band. I took three kids to the restaurant, and we were given a tour of the place. After the short tour, the kids all got to cut one potato each through the grinder. It was great fun watching them. Then, they were all given coloring books and crayons and sat among the chairs in the restaurant, which wasn’t yet open. They were all well-behaved! The staff proceeded to take the permission slips and fill orders for the teacher and drivers, too! Granted, it was only 945 am, but being around all the food made me hungry! We were served by 10 am, as regular customers were coming in by then. Strange to have a burger at 10 am willingly, but there were plenty of people coming in. We found out that it is a community event that the store holds and it is free of charge! They made “real” burgers for the adults, while the kids got dumbed down burgers, no veggies. I’ve seen Peyton eat a real burger, but not all kids may, so they didn’t bother. It was much faster. Each kid got a tray with either a cheese or hamburger or grilled cheese, and a tray of the fries they all cut (their hands were all washed! We made sure of it!) Then we said thank you to the manager and headed back to school. I was done with kids by 11 am, but it took me another 20-25 minutes to come back to work because of parking! I got back, and I was supposed to go back to Michelle’s farewell at work, but I just couldn’t make it. Jennifer had a project for me that she wanted me to get done, as well as the labs I had going on, so I decided to stay. Good thing I’d bought food in the same trip I’d gotten dinner yesterday. It was already in the refrigerator for today. I stayed at work until 430 pm, before going to get both kids. Brandon had safely arrived at cdc from band having gotten the message from the office. The CDC director told me both kids did a good job. Peyton came in right away and was doing her homework, and Brandon made it safely in from band as he was told, since I normally pick him up straight from band. I was a bit nervous all day, wondering if he’d get the message to go there, with as minimal disruption as possible. He told me that the band teacher complimented him on learning one of the songs, muttering, “Because no one else bothered to learn it.” He has his solo audition coming up on Thursday. Hopefully he “gets” it. I quickly got Peyton home and showered her up before heading out for her girl scouts meeting. She ate dinner on the way there ( a salad). She was leading the opening activity with another girl. They were going to make origami fortune tellers. We’d found out about it last minute, since the meeting she was going to open was cancelled. Luckily, she knew how to make them and helped guide the other girls through it. The meeting was well-run, on time, and over by 7pm. She read on the way back, almost making her 20 minute minimum. Dave and Brandon had gone in search of food trucks, so they had BBQ back. Peyton eyed the meat, and she asked Dave for some. She finished eating, and she went to play piano. I could tell she’d practiced yesterday, as she got through her tasks quickly. The song that she had played on Sunday was even more smooth today. She’ll have one more day to refine it, but I can see the progress. She really made use of all her time today! After I sat with her, I headed to the gym before they closed. I was able to get almost an hour of machines and 2 miles of running before I left. I have to get a few more miles in before the big run on Mom’s day. Tomorrow we have a repeat match against yesterday’s team. It’s like the playoffs! We’ll have one more, so hopefully we don’t get swept. đŸ™‚
Gotta rest now!
