Lulu had another game Friday night. She is the first batter, so she was standing there warming up. Suddenly she looks up & waves. I look behind me & lo & behold there stands her step-mom & the baby!

I look around & there is her dad & the other daughter.

I couldn't believe my eyes!! This is the first game he has shown up for all season. Needless to say, she was happy. My thoughts were...it's about time!

I had seen him at one of Tay's games as his daughter had a game at the field across from us. Why does he think it's ok for him to go to her games, & not this child's? He adopted the other girl during the 9 month period when he didn't see her.

I'm just bitter with him, as you can tell.

Anyway, I'm glad he finally came to see her (for HER sake). It's a shame it's the end of the season & she has 2 games left.
The game was pretty close the whole time, them we got ahead 4-3. It was bottom of the 5th, so we thought the game was over as we play 5 innings. The ump didn't really know much of what was going on, & made up his calls according to who the call was for. NOT right, but.... They came back & said that there was still 8 minutes left to play, so we started another inning. Well, THEY wanted another inning, so they GOT it! We went back out on the field smoking & won this game 12-3!!
My outbuilding doors have been slowly rotting for awhile now. It's really not old enough to be doing this, but wasn't caulked & built correctly so water seeped behind it. One of my customers owns a company that builds the wooden buildings. He came out Saturday morning, took my doors off & to his place, & returned that afternoon to install my new doors. They look so good, the close all they way, & are whole doors! Yeah!! Now I'll have to get some primer & paint this coming weekend as it's bare wood. But I have new doors!!
Hope you all had a great weekend, & will have a wonderful week - even if today IS just Monday!
I just don't get it....Lulu was around before he met C. Hopefully Lulu will come to understand some day.
Hope you're doing great & thanks for stopping by, Bella!!
I'll be pressure-washing my deck & waterproofing it, porch & re-staining it, & the siding on the house within the next several months.
I think owning a house has never-ending jobs!
Have a great day!
We as parents have no idea the influence we have on these little lives.....there is a reason why they live at home till their 18 - its because they NEED us!! I hate hearing about absent parents - but its good to know that at least you are doing your part....which is a huge part and makes ALL the difference in the life of a kid!
Hope your day is good and the week even better!
My girls say they're going to always live with me. [EMOTICON:COOL2]]
Thanks for coming by & have a great day!
Congrats on the win.
Glad you were able to get your doors fixed. We've got a shed out back that needs to have new doors put on it. Everytime we open them it's a battle.
Hope your week is going good
Hang in there!

They were thrilled. We played again last night & won 9-1, so that was great too! Tonight is our last season game. I hope we go out on top! Tay & Lulu will be playing some more starting in June for a few games.
I still have no idea how much my doors are costing me. He left & said we'll work it out later. He'd already told me that it'd be "pennies" cuz he was only charging me for the wood. He's a customer, but also a good person too. I waiting on a bill....
Thanks for coming by Sybil!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!! (on everything)
I hope the girls kick butt tonight
God Bless,
Karen
I'm glad yours finally came around. Too bad it too that to get him to realize their importance to him. I hope he sticks around now.
I'm not sure what Lulu's will do. He doesn't even speak to his own family now. He's done this on & off his whole adult life, from what I've heard. It's really sad, but like you said, it's HIS loss!
The outbuilding is shaped like a barn & is red-barn colored now. I'm considering painting is a silver gray to match the siding on my house, but I haven't decided totally yet.
Thanks for coming by!
