Rehab?

Everybody's doing it...

Using it as an easy fix to a huge problem...

A way out...

All of the celebrities, politicians, and anyone who is anyone...

So maybe I too should be considering rehab for my choices...

I have a confession...

I am EXTREMELY competetive!

This is one reason my husband began coaching...he didn't want to have to sit w/ me in the stands listening to my every scream and yell.

I grew up playing various sports, but never knew my real side of competition until my children began playing sports. When Princess was 7 she started playing softball and that's when my crazy side began to rear it's ugly head. I'd be on the side of the fence, pacing, and yelling, really really loud.

As the kids have gotten older and the boys are now playing baseball it's gotten ten times worse. This weekend for example, I began getting really ugly looks from the umpire...to save myself just a little...he was making really bad calls. One strike was totally different from another strike...and one ball that looked the same as the previous one suddenly was a strike...he even called a strike using his strike signal and promply changed to a ball making a slice across his throat as if to say "too high". I don't think he even knew what he was calling.

And after a ball was called foul and suddenly called fair...I began saying "oh come on...make up your mind!" And then someone is out and suddenly they're safe. The one good thing was he was inconsistent w/ both teams so I suppose it evened out in the end.

This week has been stressful as we begin to fall into our "place" in the season. Both boys teams finished 2nd...and now we head to play offs!

After last night's homerun and grand slam by T-man I'm hoping we kick some booty in these tournaments...and then we begin all-stars at the end of the month...

Pass the Prozac please!
