Yes, two posts in one day...it's nothing short of a miracle! I had to post again, because GUESS who won the championship of the Bronco B division? Yep...we did! Our boys had some really good games these past two weeks, including a 10-0 shutout. We played that same team last night, because we had to beat them twice to be the champs, and we won 21-14. It was a craaaazy game, lots of hits and runs--they had our pitcher's number and our kids made some bonehead errors, but we came out on top and got some cool plaques after the game. The boys were proud, and our regular season is done (sob). Here is a little something to go along with that--
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A COACH'S WIFE WHEN:
1. You have uniforms, cups, socks, belts, and team jackets draped over every available surface after washing them.
2. There are no less than 15 baseball caps with the team logo on them at your house, and a few in the car in case someone loses one or forgets one for a game. You also have an extra uniform jersey in your car, because you never know.
3. Your Vera Bradley big tote has a scorebook, lineup card box, and LOTS of pencils in the side pockets, plus 3 hardballs, a camera, sunscreen, an extra red belt, and gum.
4. You have chairs in the back of your car from February to October.
5. Speaking of the back of your car--it contains 3 bat bags, 1 bucket of baseballs, a 'hurricane' swing trainer, cleats, about 10 sweatshirts, a black and red fleece blanket, 2 umbrellas, a cooler, two team jackets, a box of game balls, baseball snacks, and extra powerade in it.
6. The front of the car has 4 ball caps, another scorebook, eyeblack stickers, and a couple more sweatshirts in it.
7. The players frequently come to the fence in the dugout and ask if you have ranch cornnuts, and if not-do you have any other flavors?
8. People are paying you for trophies, tournaments, and parties.
9. You have a category in your email address book for team people, so you can send out practice reminders and game changes.
10. You know the website to look up tournaments in your area.
11. Your crock pot gets a workout during baseball season.
12. You look like a pack animal when going out to a game field.
13. You find yourself having to shut yourself up when talking to non baseball people about baseball.
14. A co-worker asks you every day, "How'd you guys do last night?"
15. Kids in the hall at your workplace ask you if you won your game last night.
and...
16. You get toward the end of the season and feel sad and sentimental, but you also think to yourself, "I am so done, and looking forward to a summer with no commitments." and then your kid gets asked to try out for the PONY allstar team, and you jump up and shout, "YES!!!" and hope to God that he makes it...
so he can play all summer, too.
update: HE MADE IT!!! I'm so proud.
