20180228 - So Big!

20180228 - Up in the am and working from home with some sap boiling down on the stove. I always get so much more done when I work from home, I don't have the distractions that come with being in an office that allows others to pull me off focus. D came home for a min to change and go to work and then on to baseball, L got home, G got home and I kept working. Before I knew it it was 5:30 and we were late picking J up from track. I got to the school and was waiting for him in my usual parking space. I texted him to tell him to hurry up as I didn't realize the giant person walking toward me was him...  so big! Home and LJG&I had dinner then hung out watching some Tv with the boys taking turns on the Xbox. D home and got some dinner. Got a lot of thing done tonight. Up late setting up a Facebook page for G's travel team - www.GahannaLions2025Baseball.com

I kept working and L ran to get J from track and then the 4 of us had dinner, D was at baseball. After dinner J&I went over to Doc's to get his TV working and then J fixed the closer on his storm door so it could close. After baseball D&DGF7 came home to eat and hang out and watch videos of DJ&G when they were very little. I spent most of the evening trying to organize booster things and get a big baseball email ready to go out to the parents.

Justin pointed out my shirt had a hole in it... Hard to concentrate with all of the extra activity and noise but I still managed to get a lot done. Home and L had a nice dinner ready, D waas at baseball, J was at track and G was playing outside. L ran and got J and when they got home LJG&I sat down and ate. After dinner I got my stuff and headed to the high school for a booster meeting: now becoming more active in the boosters as baseball gears up and I am helping with the IT. It was a good meeting and Andy, Joe and I hung around after to get some more things done and then to talk to Coach Shade about all of the events that are quickly coming up. L had to run J to and from Scouts as I didn't leave the high school until after 9pm. I ran home, pick Doc up and we headed to Bible Bangers for a good meeting. Home and I threw my shirt away.

Home and L was cooking dinner, D was at baseball tryouts, J was hanging out and G was on the Xbox. We sat down for dinner and it was not good... it was frozen wings that were too soggy to hold and were slimy, oh well we trashed them and had leftovers. We hung out watching the Olympics and and soon D was home. He made the baseball team! Not with as much surprise and fanfare as past years but he seemed pretty happy about it. We wound down the night, I chatted with D a bit about the upcoming season and L tried every trick she knew to stay awake to watch the last figure skaters of the Olympics.

20180219 + 2 Getting Big

20180219 + Up super early and D&I headed West to visit Wright State over by Dayton.  We went to a bunch of different lectures and it was REALLY interesting, makes me want to go back to school! We also stopped and talked to the financial aid folks to discover our aid is called loans... We talked to the Department Head of Athletic Training and if D goes there and can get into the program this Fall can be part of the last cohort that is NOT required to get a Master's Degree.  We had lunch there in the cafeteria and took a short tour before heading home. 

Home and we saw J scooting around town on the way in. I headed to the accountants to do my 2017 taxes, but she could not honor the appointment... So I headed over to Dave's warehouse next door and chatted a bit before heading home. We had a nice dinner and then J&I headed to Goodwill so he could check things out. I got some things to sell on OhiOOddities and a pair of boots and J got a couple of white t-shirts.  J&I stopped at the local car lot to start looking at cars for him... Home and hung out the rest of the night. D&DGF7 here. Bible Bangers was cancelled for the night so we just watched the Olympics and relaxed.

During the first game cousin Jen called a bit upset as uncle Johnny was not doing well this am and aunt Betty is still in the hospital. L&I made some calls and helped get some assistance arranged. The boys played hard and won in the last couple seconds, what an exciting game. LG&I ran to Burger King for lunch and I touched base with Johnny and he was alive and John 3 was on his way there. Back to the school for more basketball and we ran into a buzz saw that hit 3 after 3 and shut us down.

After dinner we headed home and hung out the rest of the day.
