I know. I sort of do this to myself. Of course I expected my husband to be more helpful during ball season. We had a softball game last night (Monday). It was Chloe’s first game and I have to go to softball games because I help coach. Mason was at his dad’s and he was going to be at cub scouts. BJ had scouts we thought so Brady was taking him. So, just me and Chloe sounded doable. Turns out scouts were put off until tonight (Tuesday) so Brady and BJ did show up to the game for a while. Tonight (Tuesday) we are supposed to have baseball practice at 5pm. The practice is going to be behind the tennis courts which means we don’t have to wrap up at any certain time so the coach will likely keep us there for two hours or longer. It’s usually about 7:15 when he wraps up those practices. Both boys are on that team. BJ is supposed to have cub scouts, too so not sure what we’ll do about that. We skip scouts for games, but this team seriously practices 3 times a week or more if they can so we don’t worry about an occasional missed practice. I think They’ve probably had at least 15 practices in the last month or so. The softball team has had 3 practices and two scrimmages. That’s it! That’s more normal but whatever. All three kids are home tonight. Brady won’t get home until almost 5. He could get here around 4:40 but he usually drags and I think he does it on purpose sometimes. Like tonight I’m betting he will wait till later hoping that I had already left for practice with all the kids and then he’ll come home and decide that it is pointless for him to be at practice, too, so he’ll be at home alone. He’ll make dinner (maybe) if I ask. He’s been to only 2 practices and did come and relieve me from one because I had to get to the other field for a practice so he was at practice maybe 15 minutes that night. Then tomorrow (wednesday) we have a make up baseball game at 6. The coaches want the kids ther at 5:15 to practice for 45 minutes before the hour and a half game. We’re not going that early. Thirsday is a 6pm baseball game and the coaches want the kids there at 5:15. Friday night we have a softball game at 6pm and we will need to be about 15 or 20 minutes early. Saturday both teams have a game at 1:15. I HAVE to be at the softball game to be in the dugout so I can’t go to the baseball game. There are only 4 games out of around 20 that are at the same time so not so bad. So, I need to have kids at two different places at the same time. I have a feeling Brady is not going to want to go to either game because it would be cutting it too close getting to the racetrack. Games wouldn’t be over until around 2:45 and the racetrack gates open at 3 and he wants to be there at the beginning to get enout time trials and blah blah blah. He drag races. He’ll probably go even if he has to be a little late. He doesn’t get home till after midnight when he goes to the racetrack. So after all the time at the park juggling the three kids at two games (luckily the two boys are on the same team) then I will go home and be with them alone. I need some help. If I ask I think he will begrudgingly do it, but why the hell do I have to ask?? Does he think that since I’m not working I can do 50 things at once at night?
