Mutha F'n Memorial

Memorial Day Weekend, the break in the months of working vacation free. in fact, for many of us this weekend if the first "vacation" we've had since Christmas.

going that long without time off can get to you...

(can you tell?)

This weekend was also the weekend of the "Annual" Memorial-Day Family Softball Game. now, some of you might be wondering why annual is in quotes, well that's because we've only done this one, two years ago.

two years ago we played a game on memorial day (i struck out twice) and it was such a "together" moment that we decided we should do it again. of course, that was the same year we found out that my dad had the brain tumour.

because my dad's been in recuperation we put off any talk about the game, but his pride has been pushing him towards it. he refused to let his temporary loss of coordination become permanent because "i have to kick my son's ass at softball."

but this Sunday we all headed out to the field and had a blast with only one serious injury (my cousin's husband threw his back out). but a BBQ/Texas Hold'em/Drink'n Party seemed to clear everything up.

of course now, a day later, everyone is sore as hell. (i loaned the injured cousin-in-law my back massaging chair thing, so he can actually walk again.)

and with that, i close up the post, because i think i need a good night sleep... and some aspirin.


Happy Memorial Day weekend everybody
