Movie Date Friday!

During class today, my professor actually had to say, "Okay, y'all, listen up.  I love conversing with Aubrey, but this class is not mean to be a two-way conversation.  Some of y'all need to get involved here."

Fifteen minutes later, he was still waiting for someone to answer a question, so he looked at me with a helpless look, I answered the question, he rolled his eyes, and we moved on.  It's pathetic, people...especially since this is a government-based class, and I'm not a huge fan of politics.  During a break, he asked how the boys' baseball seasons were going, and asked if N had been taught how to block the plate when he plays catcher.  I told him I wasn't sure, so he said he'd show me if I wanted.

Y'all.  He's the sweetest grandfatherly type.  Despite his knees cracking every single time he crouched down, he made sure I could show N how to block the plate and tag the runner out as easily as possible.  He even said I should bring him to class again, and he'd show him after class was over.  He's a good guy.  He's also given me the maximum extra credit points possible, and I haven't completed all of the extra credit assignments.  He said my participation is more than enough.

I agree, good sir.

After N got home from school, we took off to go see 42.  I promised him I'd take him, and all the friends we were going to go see it with were unable to go, so it was just the two of us.  And 4 other people.  In the entire theater.  It was awesome.  And he loved it.  He said, "Mom, I should've made a Twitter profile for Jackie Robinson, not LeBron James."  Um, yeah.  What was your first clue?

We went to an earlier movie so N could still have some time to go to his friend's house before an earlyish bedtime for our double-header Saturday morning.  I dropped him off at his friend's house, and got a load or two of laundry done in the couple of hours he was gone.  Honestly though, I didn't feel like doing much.  I woke up feeling all "meh" like I was getting a cold, and all I wanted to do was go to bed early.

After I picked him up, I got into bed before he did...and now, it's not even 10:30, and my eyes are closing.

Baseball tomorrow.  It's going to be nuts!  We're playing N's old coach, and they're the best team in the U10 league.  Should be exciting!!!
