How are you involved? Ann Well....first off...WTG Sporty Mom (I feel a new screenname coming in the near future for you!).....don't forget to ice your shoulder/arm tonight before you head to bed (15 minues will do nicely)...maybe even pop a couple of ibuprofen to ward off some of the soreness.... If you can't tell from those sentences.....I'm a baseball mom....2 lefty pitcher/first basemen. My older son is (at age 15, he's 6'2" & 225 lbs. of shoulders, lol)...he's been playing baseball since he was 5. For the last 3 years or so, he's been on up to 4 teams at one time. He's been on a team that went to a world series and has been on another team that came in 2nd for Southwest USA Regionals (covering California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Hawaii, Oregon & Washington <I think, I'm gettin' old!>). And at the state tournament at age 12, he threw a full game no hitter to win the championship. My younger son is Jon (at age 11, he's 5' tall but, only 76 lbs.....thin little thing...). He's been playing since he was 4. He's also been a state all-star player and traveling tournament team player. Where my other son has strength with his size, this son has speed with his lack of bulk (long & lean). I LOVE baseball season. Up until this year, I've always been on the board of directors for whichever league that they've played in. This is my first year as what I call a "POP" (Parent of Players). This has inspired me to keep moving. I used to spend 30+ hours a week with board work. I now have extra time to spend it on me. 2 of my friends and I get out and walk every morning unless it's pouring. Most days we walk in the 5 mile range in about 1 hour & 15 minutes. (It's also good gossip time!). Oh, another thing that keeps me motivated.....last year I was one of the directors of concessions (snack bar lady)...meaning that we opened & closed one of the snack bars 6 days per week. I found that we were buying soda every day. Well, last March 1st my family and I made a vow to each other to quit drinking soda....we've all done it (kids included)! Not a single soda has passed any of our lips for over a year now. Hopefully we can get back up to our 5 year soda hiatus like we did several years ago. Anyway, that's my official ramble.... aren't ya glad ya asked???Sandi (PS.....don't forget about that ice!) Quote
