TAGLIARCHY Summer Escape!

[s&k'smom]

Good morning

 

[llebrekniT]

Luke was on 3rd with two outs and the next batter up got put down. (Thrown out.)

Their side of the field went wild naturally.

So they come up to bat and score 4 runs in that inning. Our boys were obviously rattled. They had gone up to another field to watch another game. They were brought back to our field, put in the dugout and told they had to go out there and win the game all over again. Hard to explain when you don't even understand how it happened yourself.

Sometime during the fifth inning my mom's cell phone rang. It was my sister and she had just been in an accident on the interstate in Cincy. Mom was screaming her name and jumping up and down. She couldn't hear what she was saying. She was hurt, we didn't know how badly yet. Mom and dad took off to get up there.

Obviously this took my mind out of the game somewhat.

Our turn up to bat and we came back with a couple of runs. I can't remember what inning what happened now. It's all a big messy blur to me. DHB is better at recalling the sports shorts. And I was so distracted worrying about my mom and dad flying up the interstate and what was going on with my sister, who was taking care of my nephew, etc.

I called mom to see if they had been able to get her back on the phone. Mom was crying, freaking out, very upset. All they knew is that the ambulance was on it's way, she had been hit from behind and she was hurt and my nephew (her son) was with her but apparently not hurt. I did my best to calm her down, my sister has been in quite a few accidents, some her fault some not. She just has bad luck on the road.

So while waiting to hear something about the accident, the game continued.

I have to add here that all our parents handled themselves very well, as did our kids. Their side continued to be obnoxiously loud and carried away with every play they made.

We tied the score at 10-10 in the sixth inning. Daniel knocked in the tying run. I think we ended up playing 10 innings?, correct me if I'm wrong DHB. Time after time they came in and out of the field, I lost track.

As it turned out, we had a runner on third and up came Derek, who plays first and pitches.




















HOMERUN!!!!!!

Out of the park! Homerun!!!!

We went nuts! I think I may have yelled a thing or two at the opposing crowd. Well, Ok, I'll admit, I definetly did. Something like "HOW DO YA FEEL NOW?!" "THAT'S THREE TIMES! (we've beat you) IS THAT ENOUGH YET?!" "WANNA PLAY AGAIN!?" Stuff like that. Everybody was cheering and clapping and whooping it up and we were all the way across the field from them and I was yelling in happiness, not angry sounding, so I feel no regret. I'm sure they didn't even hear me. Don't care if they did though.

It was such a great victory. Nothing better than winning a game like that.

We took the team out to Dairy Queen (where else?) and celebrated.

We play in the championship game tonight at 6:00.

I'm so proud of our boys! I do not care if we get dog-stomped tonight. <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_108.gif' border=0></a>

Ok, Ella wants me for something so I gotta go.

Just wanted to add that my sister was in the emergency room all night, getting very poor medical care. They kept scanning her with this machine and that machine. Thought her arm was broken, then they said no. Thought maybe she had broken a vertabrae in her back, did some type of scan, couldn't be sure. Kept her laying out in the hall for really long periods of time, wouldn't give her any pain meds., then they thought she may have ruptured her spleen, then they thought not, no one ever seemed to know when anything would be done for her.

Mom said around 1 a.m. she unloaded on them. I'm sure that wasn't pretty. Mom's pretty good at giving out a fussin', I can attest to that.

They finally got her released after they did a couple more tests and still didn't know exactly where she might be hurt. They did determine that her back "seemed" to be OK.

So she is home now, they got in about 6:00a.m. They are taking her to our family doctor for an exam.

Gotta run!

TalkisCheap Love your pics.....you and your friends are soooo cute! Hope you're enjoying basketball camp this week and let us know when you plan to see Matt next

RRBB Welcome back! So glad you had a good time

And just for the record, the 80's had the best music ever AND it was the beginning of MTV which was so totally and wickedly awesome when it first started that my brothers and I would sit glued in from of MTV for hours waiting for our favorites to come on. AND I do believe that the best music videos were the first ones with Duran Duran, Police, U2, Madonna(yes, she had some good ones too), etc.......Hungry Like A Wolf was definitely my favorite and I'd get all crazy when it came on....you've got to admit those Duran Duran boys were mighty hot at the time

 

[ohanafamily]

Speaking of MTV, who can guess the significance of this song?

Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star
From the Album - Age Of Plastic
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.
Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, look I'll play my VCR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

repeat
Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)

 

[deadheadbelle]

First video ever played on MTV.

 

[ohanafamily]

Give the lady a Hippo!!!!! (LOL)

 

[iluvtink]

llebreknit What a story! So glad your team won. Nanny nanny boo boo to the other team's coaches who put their kids through all of that , too. Glad I didn't have to come down there and whomp some behinds...

PD to your sister... how scary to get a phone call like that. I hope all comes out okay at her doc today. I'm also glad your folks were okay getting up to CincYYY. What is it with your family and crummy hospital care? First DMIL, then DS... I'd try to stay well if I were you!



p.s. ohana - who sang that radio song? I didn't recognize it.

cadburysmom YES to hottie Duran Duran. I loved early MTV. When did it start going bad? I can't remember, but I miss the old days! (Sound like my grandmother, huh?)

 

[ohanafamily]

Deadheadbelle, I have a question, not meaning any meanness or disrespect...how can you justify your counter when you have no reservations?????




(actually, I would have made my ressies and changed them when the AP rate came out...But I am a male, what do I know right?)

 

[disneyluvers]

Whoop! Whoop!

I'm so happy for your team [COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR] but I'm also sad to hear about your sister . I hope she'll be O.K. and P.D. big time to all of you especially your mom. (I wouldn't have been surprised if she had hauled off and hit someone in that ER. I wanted to as I was reading your post)

 

[ohanafamily]

[COLOR=66FF00]iluvtink[/COLOR], it is Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles

Well, llebrekniT hasn't made hers either, so you can ask her the same question.

Anyway, our thinking is that if everyone who is waiting for AP rates goes ahead & books, they will think we are willing to pay rack rate. More rooms booked=less AP discounts.

Hi [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color] I got a moment out to say hello - believe it or not I am just spilling the news here at work.


Welcome Back from Bawston RRBB!

Hey, I may have missed, um due to skimming, your welcome back story, but this is the summer home right, where skimming is legal, right? Was I off-base about the time you would have on Wednesday night or were you bored silly thanks to me? I was so sorry to miss you but it was a crazy week and I packed up to go out to a funeral that night instead.

 

[Bichon Barb]

Okay, so like don't ever read threads backwards. I just read pages 92 to 87 (in that order) and am now very confused.

Welcome back CADBURYSMOM! Sounds like you had a great time.

How do you like the vacation home?

 

[cadburysmom]

Deadheadbelle OMG...look at your # of posts! You're almost at 2000! Time to party.....what yummy foods and drinks are gonna be served and more importantly, who's gonna be serving them

ohanafamily Good trivia question about Video Killed the Radio Star but for sanity's sake, please make the music stop!!!!!! It's driving me nuts and I never much liked that tune to begin with
