The Sewing Mom

Now that the Destination Imagination season is over, we can freely move on to the next, even more important hobby in our household, SOFTBALL!

That’s right, my daughter plays softball. She picked it up when she was 5 and played t-ball. She absolutely loves it. She took last year off, mainly due to our relocation that happened right at the beginning of the season. This year though, she seems to be coming back with a new found passion. She is on a team that was together last year and will be one of the older teams in their division. She was thinking that she didn’t want to pitch anymore, but I think that decision was being made out of nervousness. I have hired a pitching coach to work with her once a week. She had her second session with him on Sunday and she is really getting into it. I think she hasn’t yet realized just how good she is and he is really helping develop her skills. She has the basics down and he told her so. He’s now teaching her how to have a variety of pitches. It’s really very exciting to watch!

When we lived in Chicago, we were huge White Sox fans and remain so even though we’re now in Dallas. My step daughter even sent my daughter a gift card for purchasing tickets to the Texas Rangers games. Actually, we’re going to try to get tickets when the Rangers are playing the White Sox and we will be wearing our White Sox gear to that game for sure!

In the mean time, I’m thinking it would be fun to participate in a fantasy baseball league. We could draft all of our favorite players from the White Sox and create a really amazing team! If we use Fantasy Sports Prophet’s Fantasy Baseball software we’ll have access to it even if we decide to take a vacation plus it gives us all the player stats we’d need to make our draft decisions. The software also provides injury reports, we don’t want to draft a player who can’t play! Right now I can even get $10 off special for using promo code BMC200 as can you if you’re reading this. This software offers a lot of assistance to manage a fantasy team.

Who knows, maybe we’ll be the big winners both in the fantasy league and my daughter’s softball league, both in the same season!
