I am DONE....

I so wish I could just walk away from all of my baseball responsibilites.  I don't want to care if we have blue Gatorade or if Costco back-ordered my sunflower seeds.  Don't blame me if your son lost his mitt, yes if someone found it they will turn it in to the snack shack, but if no one turned it in I can't give it to you.  Write your name on it next time, or check to make sure you have everything before you leave.  And if one more person says to me "You're at the field all of the time, don't you go home?" I am going to slap them.  Yes, I would love to go home but that would require for your lazy *ss to help out.  When I send out an e-mail looking for help and no one responds what am I supposed to do??  So yes, thank you for that observation that I do the work of 5 people, I am aware of it...painfully aware.  So I am done, or really wish I could be.  The regular season ends at the end of the month, then I can enjoy baseball for a month when all I have to do is travel to tournaments and watch.  Just watch.  Not miss my son striking out 3 batters in an inning 3 up/3 down because someone can't find the hot dogs buns or missing my son making an unassisted double play because an umpire needs to be paid.  No, in June I just get to watch.  And then in July someone had the bright idea of hosting the 12 year old All-Star tournament.  Yes someone who has ideas but never does the work.  So from June 30-July 7 I will have my worker bee hat back on, and I will miss my son playing his last All-Star tournament of his Majors career, all because of someone else's idea.  Yep, just a little bitter and exhausted today.  But I did get a beautiful bouquet of roses last Sunday for all of my hard work and $50 to Olive Garden, too bad it will be August before I can use it.
