HE'S.. SAFE!

Work was crummy today and so were the people I worked with. It hurts deep inside and I was going to write about it.. But instead I want to express my excitement for my son as he won his baseball game tonight. You know he's only 7 and score hasn't meant much but they had their first tournament tonight. To see these sweaty little kids in red shirts running after balls, trying to throw to first base and the ball just doesn't make it there. I couldn't stay in my seat. Run! Run! Catch it, shit he missed it, throw it home! What's he doing? I found myself enjoying baseball more this game. Maybe because it was for something. Not just running bases, it had purpose. My heart just smiled when he ran up to me and was yelling WE WON! WE WON! Yeah, it had purpose..

A bit of vacation

After a great vacation and some well deserved rest, I'm back. I had very good intentions of trying to blog while on vacation, even carried my laptop around with me, but did not plug it in. We were having alot of fun, but getting up early and staying in Disneyland Park until closing time left me with little time to do so.
On the 4th of July Reed and I flew to Las Vegas for 1 day. Then we drove to Disneyland for 3 nights. Our hotel was across the street so we just walked everyday. We also had time to see the Crystal Cathedral. Next, we went to Carlsbad California to Legoland. Originally I wasn't too excited about this part, but it turned out to be our favorite part. Our hotel was 1 1/2 blocks from the beach and a short 10 minute drive to Legoland. We then returned to Las Vegas for 2 days and spent all our time in the wave pool and lazy river. Reed is a great traveler and refuses to fall asleep while I'm driving and is very entertaining!

On Crying..

People have said, "Don't cry" to other people
for years and years, and all it has ever
meant is, "I'm too uncomfortable when you
show your feelings. Don't cry." I'd rather
have them say, "Go ahead and cry. I'm here
to be with you."

Vacation planning

Been busy planning our vacation. Going to Disneyland. Decided to fly into Las Vegas one of my favorite destinations (except for Cancun). Reed is really excited to see what Vegas is all about. He's only 7. He knew I had vacationed in Vegas and it was not a big deal until his little friend at school went there because her Mom was getting married. THEN, he wanted to go. So we land in Vegas, stay a day, drive to Disneyland and Legoland (Ah yes, 3 days in Legoland I can't wait..) see the ocean. Drive back to Vegas stay a couple days and swim, and fly home. It will be fun and we are both looking forward to it. (You know what is cool? The airline serves cool snacks when we fly because my son has a peanut allergy. Like bags of Doritos and cheese and crackers!)
