Horrible thoughts!

The Northport Americans lost their first ballgame yesterday and it was ugly! And yes, I was that mom that was having secret happy thoughts of almost going home. We had to play our 2nd game last night at 6 and the first two innings almost granted me my wish. But our ballteam came awake and blew that other team out. In the end, I was happy for Carter and to see his excitement. He made some really good plays, tagged a runner out at home and made the 3rd out. He ran into the dugout and looked straight for me with the biggest smile, he was so proud. We play again today at 1, if we lose we go home. We got back to the hotel last night around 9, the dear daddy took the boys down to the pool while I did laundry and put some frozen pizzas into the oven. That was when the excitement began. Apparently a piece of sausage fell from a pizza onto the bottom of the oven next to the burner. Smoke filled the oven and started coming out. I couldn't open the oven to get the sausage out without the room filling with smoke. I just knew that we were going to set off the smoke alarm and sprinkler system and have to evacuate the entire hotel. I ended up just turning off the oven and playing the waiting game. Eventually the smoke cleared out and pizzas got done...an hour later. I was able to checkout the hotel gym yesterday, pretty impressive. Each treadmill, bike and elliptical had their own tv. I ran 3 miles while watching Teen Mothers on MTV, the sadness. Hoping to do the same some time today. Cooper is hanging in there with all this ball chaos, as long as he gets the hit the pool he is a happy camper. Will have more excitement again today!
