First Post about lotsa crap

So I am starting a blog! Pretty scary undertaking for a 40 year old woman who barely knows how to use a computer, much less manage to do something so technical lol! I hope that this turns out to be something entertaining. It probably won't, but a girl can have hope right? right? Please tell me there is hope, cause without hope I am just another bored housewife looking to have an excuse to be on the computer all damn day *smirks*...SO, what shall we talk about today? How about the wonderful world of kids sports? My 7 year old is in his first year of baseball. Technically it's pitching machine little league, and lemme tell you it's pretty cool! I ADORE baseball, as does my husband. HOWEVER, we seem to have given birth to a child that is, shall we say......NOT interested in sports in the least. This does not sit well with my husband, who grew up playing sports....and still plays softball as if he was 25 not 45! Don't get me started on the whole "you are NOT as young as you used to be my love, and therefore you can't play the WHOLE OUTFIELD" conversation...anyway what the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah! my boy seems to think if he isn't perfect, he doesn't wanna play...which leaves me frustrated and trying to explain the concept of batting averages (which he GETS, cause he can do algebra in the FIRST GRADE...which will be the title of another blog so don't you worry bout missing out on anything) He seems to think all baseball players ALWAYS hit/catch/throw the ball perfectly every time. So I tried getting him to EEK! watch a game...didn't happen. Cause see it's not Ben 10 or Bakugan or freaking anything on the Cartoon Network, and he seems to think if he gets to watch tv, he watches what HE watches not stupid baseball! UGH! Tell me, where did I go wrong with this child? huh? Cause I have a massive baseball card collection (including a pristine Greg Maddux rookie card thank you very much! and if he doesn't go into the Hall as a Brave I may cry)....and I LOOOOVE me some baseball! So I ask you, why can't my boy just indulge me a teeny bit? I'm old I need special care and I don't ask for much lol! Wow! good to get THAT off my chest. Guess I should call it a day! Oh, in case anyone was wondering, the boy went 2 for 3 and had an assist in his first game...and what do you think HE thought about his first game? He was TICKED he didn't hit ALL 3 TIMES HE WAS AT BAT! Remember the whole batting average thing? Didn't matter to HIM...*sigh* I guess he just wants to be perfect, and I can't fault him for that...at least not very much anyway......nighty night...hopefully I will remember HOW to get back on here so I can post some more from the ramblings of my brain...we will see
