Knights and Fights

Well I guess the kids did inherit something from me. Kyle loved the Medieval Times. "It was better than I thought it would be!" It must have been good because he called me @ 2 just as they were leaving. His Knight was killed by the way.

Fights: Clay feels he's old enough to do whatever, his pediatrician called because his teacher sent him an unflattering report about Clay. B***H. Keep in mind I have heard nothing in like forever. (Sorry, yes I used the unruly "like") Cole thinks we are being unfair about not allowing him to go to LaCross and camp over night with another friend who is also 16. His parents thought they were nuts also. Finals are coming up and life in the Rogers household will not be pleasant. At least he is applying for jobs. Please Del Monte here my call.

TGIF!!!!

Osgood what?!

What the heck is Osgood Slaughter's disease? Well it takes you out of baseball for at least a week. It's official the orthopedic confirmed Kyle has this. His tendon is pulling away from the bone. This is because he is growing and his muscle is growing. His doc said "Not many 13 year old kids have 20 inch thighs that are muscles" Great another terrible thing about puberty. Trust me this is not a time when your kid wants to hear about "When I was your age..."

Kyle has a field trip to the Mid-Evil Times in Schaumburg. Can we say oooo fun. Take 62 kids on a bus for a total of 6 hours and have them sit through a 2 hours. Can we figure out why we have an obesity problem?

For Sale: Handsome, funny, spoiled 16 year old kid. Will work hard. Driving mother nuts.

Oh what a night!

Well let me tell you it's never a dull moment in our lives. Clay had a game tonight. He struck out his first at bat, got mad and threw the bat into the air (straight up). Thank goodness no one got hurt. Kyle has been complaining about his knees the last couple of days and had to sit out most of travel team practice. I thinking I was a good mom, took him into U C. an hour and half later I had a kid in tears thinking he'll have to give up sports. Dr. thinks is oustenslagers disease. Kids tendons tend to swell between the ages of 13-15. Taking him in to see the orthopedic doc tomorrow for a second opinion. Also took him to tour the public middle school. We'll see what he decides. It would be a repeat of curriculum from this year. He of course thought it would be easy since he did it once. Then I get home at 10:30 and Cole asks if he can go to Eau Claire to watch the state track meet. No big deal however he wants to go with another team mate (no parents) and get a campsite. Do I look that stupid?! Now he thinks we're treating him like a 13 year old which Kyle is taking offense to. Boy I wish I drank. Mothers and sisters need to quit laughing thinking this is revenge for my rebellious teenage years.

Hi ho hi ho it's Back to work I go

Why is it even after 3 days of glorious nothing that the first day back is always like a Mon.? Kids are down to 8 days of school. Yeah like this last week for most is ridiculous. Clay has a field trip and a carnival to go to. Kyle is going to the Medieval Times in Shaumburg. He's not happy about it because when the class voted the Brewers were somehow left off. Some of us parents are still toying with the idea of taking them to a game instead. They are studying the middle evil times so this does fit. Cole may be missing school on Friday to go to the State track meet. 3 of his team mates (all girls) made it to state. Cole lettered in track but failed to tell his parents this. He was talking to Nathan's dad while they were here and Jeff congratulated him. Cole's response was "I shouldn't have to tell you, you should know that I'm just so awesome that I'll letter in everything." OY! Kyle's umping tonight. I think I'll go catch the second game to see how he does.

Kyle's Memorial Weekend Update

Today's guest blogger is Kyle D. Rogers!
Memorial Weekend means no school or homework for 3 whole days. Yeah! Last night we went to Raczek's and played around. Mom ate to many s'mores. We are going to watch a movie today or tomorrow. Whenever it rains. I want Indiana but Cole saw it last night. LOSER! couldn't wait for me. We might go see Narnia. I want to see this because everyone says it has a lot of action. We might kill our first chicken today if she doesn't stop sitting on her eggs. I hit three out of the parkers on Friday. (I was standing on 2nd base) I am going to try and get Dad to take me fishing tomorrow. I'm killing Nazi's in the monastery. (Don't panic it's "Metal of Honor: Hero's 2" for the wii) Debby it's better than wii fit. Have a nice rest of the weekend.

Brewers vs Nationals

Brewers lost again not only on the big field but also on the smaller field. Kyles team won 10-6 last night. It was really bragging rights. His traveling team coach was coaching the other team and his son (also Kyle's friend) was pitching. It's fun to watch these kids play against each other because there is no love lost when it comes to winning. Kyle was 3:3 last night . Nice base hits up the middle.He thinks he's on a hitting slump. Traveling team practice tonight with a picnic afterwards. Should be fun.

Cole's going out with friends. I thought they would go to a movie or the races but no. They are all going to a friends to play on the slip 'n slide. I don't know how a 6' kid and a 6'4" kid fit on a slip 'n Slide. Let's hope no emergency room calls tonight.

Clay is just tagging along. Bill is out on his new job (2nd). He's doing warranty claims for cars. We'll see how he likes it.

Have a great Memorial Weekend!

Game Free night!

Clay just had practice last night. Kyle has a game tonight. I have to go to a going away party for one of the PT's I work with. 4th PT in 3 years. The good ones leave and the jerk stays. Any one in business answer me this; Why is it that the biggest jerks, worst workers, and largest jerks get all the perks and have the bosses thinking they're god's gift to the world. Bill found a key chain that he bought me. It says "If you're god's gift to the world I hope he kept the receipt." Off to Margaritaville :)
