Howdy y'all! I ended up not playing softball. Every time I bend my knee, it hurts for some reason. 
But, Mrs E and Kat played while I stayed in another field trying to teach Melanie and CJ how to throw the RIGHT way. Then we sat down and watched a little bit of the game. They made all of the guys bat wrong handed. It was an attempt to keep the balls from going over fences and to try to make sure none of the kids playing got hurt. There was even one inning that Kathryn was the only one that got on base! Then in the last inning, they let Kat pitch. Fast pitch. There was a girl on the other team about Kat's age that said "THANK GOD... REAL pitches." 
Mrs E tried to catch a pitch with her shin. You can imagine how well that worked out. Douche Canoe never showed up, so we were given the green light to leave just after 2:00. Got home, whooped the kids since they were beyond horrible, and made them take naps. Mrs E and I each stretched out on our respective couches and managed a few minutes of nap time. When we all got up, we decided to go buy our fireworks for my July 4th (on the 6th) cookout. I found a Groupon for a place close by. $20 for $40 of fireworks. Then we went to our normal place. Mrs E had a $100 gift card from a research study she did a few weeks ago. So all in all, we got $150 of fireworks for about $30 out of pocket.
Now dinner is over. CJ is in the shower. Melanie is about to take a shower. Kat is at her friend's house. And Mrs E and I are just ready to sit back and enjoy an evening of quiet.
We're starting with picking up Kat in the morning, then taking Melanie to a birthday party, then to a friend's house for a cookout, then picking up Melanie, then getting back home, then waiting on Mrs E to get home from work, then leaving to go to that baseball game that got rained out a few weeks ago... I dont even know what Sunday has in store for me.... I just want to make it through tomorrow first.
