Softball:
I’m sure it’s probably not a good thing that here it is 11:15pm and since last night, when I got home from softball practice, I’ve been popping Tylenol or Ibuprofen! I am amazed at how sore my body still is today. I need to just suck it up and get used to it. I’m assuming my body is going to hurt for awhile until I get into a routine and my muscles get used to being used again.

I’m a little concerned with the fact that the team doesn’t have a sponsor yet. The sponsor fee is $250.00 and if we don’t find a sponsor we won’t be playing! It’s taken me several years to find a team to play on so I’m certainly hoping that a sponsor will pick us up because I will be totally bummed if we can’t play!!!!

Caleb:
Where to start? Let’s see…school gets out June 5th! It doesn’t seem possible that yet another school year is almost over. Where does the time go? He of course is excited that it’s almost over. The poor kid hates school with a passion and I guess part of me doesn’t blame him. He’s been picked on so much for the past several years that I would hate school to. It really frustrates me that the label ADHD has followed him around from one teacher to the next. It’s like every year the ‘new’ teacher has preconceived ideas of Caleb because they receive notes/info about him (and of course his ADHD is always mentioned) from the previous teacher. I forgot how mean and cruel kids can be and although he has several friends, there sure are an awful lot of kids that pick on him. It breaks my heart when I hear that he’s been called stupid, idiot, dumb, etc. He’s not any of those, in fact he’s very smart but he struggles with things in school.

It’s so selfish of me to say that I can’t homeschool because most parents would do whatever it takes to nip a situation in the bud and obviously the only way the teasing & picking on will ever stop is pulling him out of public school. This is something that I have considered in the past but honestly homeschooling isn’t an option for Caleb and I. You have to know my son and me to understand why it isn’t the best fit for the 2 of us. As lame as that sounds, it’s true.

Miscellaneous:
My next door neighbor (the normal one) is taking her son to Avalanche Bay (an indoor Water Park) on the last day of school for his birthday. Her son wants Caleb to come along so she asked if he could go. I said sure and then she was like you know what, you should just come with us. She said I’m paying for Caleb because it’s for Chase’s birthday so all you’d have to do is pay for yourself. And actually after 4pm it is only like $20 which isn’t bad at all. So I’m looking forward to it, it will be fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a water park type place.
