Baseball season is over for some, but for the ones that made the All-Star teams, enter tournaments. Yes, this year Krischan made one of the all-star teams and I don't think my life has ever been so hectic and my house so messy.
OK, maybe my house has been this messy before.
This is how my schedule has been for the past two weeks: Get up in the morning, water flowers, get kids to whatever activities they are doing during the day, or run whatever errands I need to get done, get home, make lunch, clean up, then run out the door to practice, keep two little ones entertained for two hours on a ball field while practice is going on, go home, make dinner, eat, give baths, put them to bed, then sit down in office and work until 1 or 2 in the morning. This week is a bit worse because Krischan has zoo camp this week. I drove a total of 200 miles today, and there is no baseball on mondays.
In a more understandable explanation it goes like this: Practice on tues and thurs, batting cages on wed evening. Games: first game friday night, two games on sat and game on sunday. If you win, you play another game on sunday. (they didn't win) Sat and Sun games are played in the middle of the day during the hottest time. Just blink your eyes and you start to sweat. Baseball doesn't believe in shade trees.
In times like these, every once in awhile, something slows me down. Today it was the most beautiful storm clouds I have ever seen. I had come home after dropping Krischan off in the morning. Kadence and Jakob had eaten lunch and then we went out so they could play in the pool for a little bit. Jakob decided to take a big glob of mud for a swim so the pool got emptied and we went inside to cool off and dry off.
Then the wind picked up and the clouds moved in. They swirled and turned and as I was outside a part of me worried that something was going to come down and grab me out of the clouds. It made me wonder if there were death eaters wreaking havoc. (yes, I am a Harry Potter fan and can't wait to go see the last movie!)
The pictures I am posting have not been edited and are in there true iphone form. No filters were used or special apps. These are truly how the clouds looked.
This was taken directly above my head looking into the sky.
The clouds were being rolled and punched by the wind. The best description I can give is that it looked like dough being rolled and turned on itself, then punched down. These clouds were alive, and I was mesmerized.
Amazing aren't they? Well, then they smoothed out, it started to rain and I noticed that I needed to run down to the back 40 and stake the tent to the ground as it was rolling around back there. So I booked it, in bare feet and a skirt, to save the tent.
