Today was Batitudes the team Nikita is on had their end of season party. Batitude in the season were the First place team. We however lost in the playoffs. The girls of Batitude played their hearts out. Batitude had a fantastic swim & pizza party.
I baked smore brownies and the mom's were so happy they loved them as well as the girls did too. The dad's enjoyed them I think, it was the Mom's who were wanting to take them home. Coach Dana took a whole 13 x 9 x 2 pan, before anyone could get their hands on them. It is an easy recipe, anyone can make it.
Well now we wait until August for Fall Ball. It was so enjoyable to see all the girl's on Batitude having fun on and off of the field.

Debate, debate & stuff
Well on Friday Nikita & I hosted a debate girls team preparation which she is on now. Yesterday all day we were at a debate competition. This was Nikita's first time competing. It was very interesting yesterday to see how it works. Our Girls team on 2 of the 5 they competed in. This is the first year for our Elementary School to do this. We were combined by name with the Junior High to do this. I am not sure if this was the Junior Highs first year doing this or not.
It was exciting to see all the kids talk their points on the different topics. I found that certain judges seem to show favoritism and others didn't. I was however very disappointed to see one judge that used to debate a few years ago that is in high school currently seem to be on a power trip as well as in a mood to berate both teams which I thought was uncalled for. Of course me being a Mama Bear when this happened Nikita I wanted to bitch slap her (the judge)!!! I could see how she really hurt all the kids by what she said. I am not a judge so I don't know if this is right or wrong, but it didn't seem right to me. Nikita was really shook up by this. Nikita started feeling worthless on the ride home and yes she did cry. I did my best to help her understand that she did her best and that is all that counts. I know it upset the other girls I am not sure what they went through but I can only imagine.
Nikita says she is still interested in doing debates. I will tell you that if she had said I don't want to do it anymore, I hope I could find the right words to encourage her to continue.
Today is all about recuperating from yesterday for me. Larry is off to take a nap, he had a busy day yesterday he worked then rushed to go keep score for Nikita's softball teams playoffs, which she wasn't at. When he arrived he didn't have to keep score someone else was. Well even though Batitude Nikita's team name didn't win in the playoffs we were the first place team this season in 12 and under.

Haven't felt like posting lately
I haven't really felt like posting anything lately, I do have a lot to say but I have felt like I have needed to censor what I say. I either will hurt someones feeling saying what I want too or I will piss them off.
I am planning on starting to post at least, I hope once a day again soon. I am planning on choosing I hope good topics to talk and share about. I hope that I will get feed back.

Valentine's Day
First "Happy Valentine's Day".
Well today is Valentine's Day, one of the three days a year I do not cook. I don not cook on my birthday or my Anniversary either. And yes there have been years where we do not have a lot of money to go out so we (Larry & I) agreed a long time ago that if we could afford to go out we would. If we only had a few bucks we would get some sort of value menu item at a fast food restaurant. This year we have a lot going on and Valentine's day is on a Tuesday so we are ordering in. Nikita & Larry have decided that they want pizza & wings. I say sure why not.
I would love to get Larry something, but he is hard to shop for. I did come up with something good I thought a week ago and it was out of stock. Well I asked him just two days ago when it was in stock what size he wanted and he said why do you want to get me that I am not a biker and only bikers should wear that. Larry like to watch & get updates on Son's of Anarchy. I wanted to get him a long sleeve shirt for cold mornings for him and he said no. Well I did make him his favorite dinner last night which he said was good enough. I made Pork chops, fried potatoes, green beans & apple sauce. I love Larry but I just wish I could do more for him. Larry does a lot for both me & Nikita. Larry isn't the romantic type but he is one of a kind and I love him. Here is a funny Valentine's gift he got me one year he got me tires for my car. This year he got me a new cell phone, it was time I dropped my old one all the time we are lucky it lasted as long as it did. I am a very lucky woman to have Larry as a husband.

Yearbook, softball & crazy stuff
Since my last post I have been very busy working on the yearbook and stuff around the house. Nikita has started softball she is on a positive team this season which is nice. Fall Ball sucked, it was supposed to be about learning and having fun, the Manager it was his first time and I am glad we don't have him this Season. Nikita is learning how to pitch and I hope a lot more she had fun at practice last night than she had all of Fall Ball. Can't wait to see her play. As usual Larry is going to be a score keeper for the team.
Well her comes the bitching, my Mom is in the hospital again and each and every time this happens it is because of her f up insurance. I will say this what is it going to take for them to get there s it together, my Mom to die!!! I wish I had her approval to tell you what is going on but what I will say is that they keep delaying and my Mom pays the price. I have had to endure my Mother in law dying, having to tell my Mom & brother in 2003 that my Dad wouldn't get any better and he needs to be in hospice. Then a few hours after he was there he died. Larry almost dying waiting for a liver transplant 4 times. I have seen enough, have endured enough and it hurts to think that I could lose my Mom, because of her insurance she thinks is the greatest. No insurance is infallible as far as I know.
I am grateful Larry got his Liver transplant & is in good health. I am grateful my Mom is alive but she is no longer a whole person because of her insurance delays.

What's new with me
Well since I last wrote on my blog I haven't felt like really writing. Well so much has happened. First my Mom has had serious medical stuff going on, I prefer not to talk about it because I do not have my Mom's permission too write about this.
The next thing I am 6 grade parent rep. for Nikita's school so I have been busy I guess you could say stressing. We are busy doing different fundraising so that the 6 graders can go to Outdoor Science Camp. Do want to get on my soap box but some people say why should I fund raise or donate money, the school will cover it. Well that is not the case this year 6 grade Outdoor Science Camp almost got cancelled. Public Schools are struggling, if it weren't for fundraising efforts at Nikita's school there would be very little in my opinion that they can do for the kids, technology etc... This is "MY OPINION".
Lastly this Sunday I noticed a welt on my forehead before I went to bed. It looked just wrong. Well when I got up the welt was about 5-6 inches and it felt itchy. My body felt a little itchy. I checked in with an advise nurse and she said to make an appointment to see my doctor. Well I got an appointment with a doctor for late afternoon. Well about 2pm I called Larry & told him I can't wait any longer he needs to come home ASAP. Larry got me to the doctors and they took me right away instead of waiting for my appointment. Apparently I got bit by an insect and was having a reaction to it, I got the hives too. When they took my blood pressure it was 186/98 the first time the second time it was 152/89 it did come down some. Well this little insect that bit me I am lucky I was on antibiotics, if I weren't I would have been hospitalized the bite had started an infection. I ended up on a much stronger antibiotics and still I am very weak from the antibiotics and that it is playing havoc with my stomach.
