August 25 HelloHello my friends, I have been away so long. I don't know where to begin. Baseball is over but now it soccer season, which isn't too big and I can take my computer with me and blog from the field. Which is why I got G to begin with. Thanks to all who still stopped by and wished me well. I missed "talking" to all of you.
Peace Tammie June 07 In Memory of ........Hello
The days have been way too busy and the hassles of life way too numerous. I went to the grocery store as usual and the George the deli guy tells us Tom the meat cutter has passed away a few days ago. I was heartbroken.
Tom was the sweetest, kindest man, who always was willing to help anyone. I don't know how many customers even cared, but he touched my heart and made me want to be like him. The first time I met him He gave me advice on how much prime rib to buy for my Husband's birthday and I ended up inviting him to dinner- he never had the chance to come over- he was waiting for better health. Tom died waiting for a new heart- he was plagued by heart problems all his life. He went suddenly - he actually worked up until he died. Earth has lost a kind and giving soul, but Heaven has gained another angel. I have lost a friend, but I gained inspiration to do as much good and to be a positive influence on everyone I meet. For that I thank you Tom. You are at peace my friend. rest.
 Tammie May 19 The Chronicles of Baseball: I am GoodToo much going on this week . The kids have piano recitals, need to practice for the choral recital and I have a parade and baseball on Memorial day. How will I ever get my herbs planted this weekend? I plant a veggie garden every year. I don't know about this year. Heck I won't even have time to celebrate my birthday. Sometimes I think I am not doing the right thing. I often wonder - How come all the higher ups in LL have time after noon to do things on the weekend. While I am still at the field. I am not the only one - there are a couple of other people who are always there too. We just do our jobs - make sure everything is done and finally go home. But when there is something we are always the ones to get blamed. But there is always a silver lining- a smile always comes to my face when I am in the grocery store or somewhere outside the field and a child runs up to me yelling hi Coach Tammie and telling me about me there day and what they did. I know I made a difference.
Hugs, Tammie May 13 The Chronoicles of Little League: And the Beat Goes OnI hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I did not get my paint as requested. My poor they do try , but since Dad buys the gifts they are at his mercy. My husband family always buys things they like not what the actual receiver of the gift would like. Everyone always gets very bizarre gifts because they aren't too good in the picking of gifts dept. My first Mother's day he gave me and my daughter matching viking helmets -that wasn't a joke gift he thought I would like that. Every year since I have gotten towels and some of appliance. No different this year - OK the coffee maker I needed and at the last minute I said forget the paint -get a coffeemaker. (The coffeemaker was bought before I said that- we were waiting for the coffeemaker to completely die before we got rid of it . It still has some life; therefore, is still sitting on my counter . I still haven't figured out why I get towels every year ( for Xmas it is bed sheets).
I went out and got myself a collector's tin of watercolor pencils ( prismacolor has a collection of tins designed by an artist using the product ) It is a still life of flowers. The prismacolor pencils have better graphics . I think those are the real collector tins- the artwork is beautiful. But I only have one of those. I am dying to try out my new pencils. The kids have an art project due in two weeks. I think I will have them do it in watercolor pencil. I let them have my old stuff that isn't toxic, so they will do it with the old pencils and I will do it with the new ones. The kids get so mad when I give them my crap stuff.
We start inter league play in baseball this week. That means I have to travel. Plus there are recital memorial day parades and girl scout awards( if I don't get my oldest paperwork in she won't get the highest junior award and I will be toast).
 Peace and Big Hugs
Tammie
May 05 The Chronicles of Little League: Always Remember Your PrideMy eldest daughter's team had a much deserved victory over the dreaded "Team to beat" yesterday. It was so funny one of the coaches on the other team told her son to hit the ball to my kid cause she can't catch pop flies ( easy homerun she told the kid- this woman has been to all the games when she didn't have a game and checking out the other teams for weaknesses- little league is vicious) well my kid dove for the ball and caught it and got the " God's gift to little league" kid out. Which is good, but then she had the admiration of every female in the stand as a testament to girl. I was coaching the another team so I missed the spectacular feat of fielding. But she was proud and she smacked the ball to center ( she used to be afraid of the ball and would just strike out, but now she whacks it. ) I say good for her. Not to be out done by his sister, my son thinks his the ace pitcher of the minors division. He is not, but let him think that. I am just happy he doesn't cry anymore every time he strikes out. On the other hand , he does make some great plays on second and runs like lightening. My third child is coming into her own as well on the diamond- she makes some awesome catches and hits like a pro. Then there's my youngest- who is the funniest thing on the field. He can't hit, throw or catch. He talks to everyone and heckles the other the team and to add insult to injury he tells the other coach that "You don't really know what you are doing but it's ok cause I don't either" direct quote from a five year old. Now I know why my husband never coaches this kid's team. I have a conflict with the younger kids this week so I can't be at both games- my DH quickly volunteered to coach my daughter's and let me deal with my "little darling" who is very cute but a royal pain.
I just hope I get the paint I want for Mother's Day.
Peace and Love
Tammie
