Y'all. I'm devastated. Seriously devastated. I've been so excited for both of my boys to play baseball this season, and they've been counting down the days to getting their teams, practice schedules, and game schedule. Me, too. I'm a planner, and I need to know what I'm up against.
I was not expecting this. Granted, I've never had two boys in one sport at the same time, and they're obviously in totally different age groups, but I didn't figure there would be any overlap.
I was waaaaaay wrong. Not only are the boys playing on different fields on opposite sides of town, but almost every single game is conflicting. There are 4 games for each kid (8 games total) that are simultaneously scheduled on different sides of Coppell. There are 6 games (3 each) that overlap by as little as 30 or as much as 75 minutes.
I can't be in two places at once, and I can't see how I'll be able to be there for each boy to make him feel special/remember he has a cheering section. There are 6 games that we totally have under control...but the other 14? I've got nothing.
N and I hung out with the Oalmann boys for most of the day, and then came home to grab some clothes for him so he could go to his dad's. THEN, his dad called to say he was working late, so N opted to stay home and have his dad pick him up in the morning. Tomorrow afternoon is N's first baseball practice, followed by another on Monday and another on Wednesday.
Is it wrong that I emailed the league office and asked if there was anything that could be done about it? I'm sure there are tons of single parent families with conflicts...right?
I really can't think of anything else to talk about except for this. This just really sucks...
A lot. Praying for a miracle...
