Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

Good news today. Got assigned to 30 little league baseball games in May and June. Two per night, so 15 nights. That's not so many that I'll be overwhelmed and that's $900. It'll be enough to send me sailing into July in a good place financially.

If we get our normal running races in April, May and early June, I'm going to be able to put money ahead for December and next year.

Lots of Facebook contact with Church-32 last night. We're recruiting people to join our growth group this weekend.

I have the girls and it'll be a lot of coming and going. Saturday, I'm running in my first race. It's just a 5k. I doubt my foot can take much more. That's early so I'll leave the girls at home.

I have to head to church for one session Saturday and two Sunday for the growth group. There's a co-worker fundraiser Sunday afternoon -- his son has some rare disorder and they are way in debut -- and my first softball game of the year Sunday afternoon.

I have to buy new softball spikes. I used the others until the soles tore off.

And Saturday night D13 wants to see the Hunger Games. So I have to figure out what to do with D9.

I really hope I like the umpiring. This could be a nice little two-month bump for the rest of the child support years.

Wednesday was a bit of a rough night. D9 was really emotional again at bedtime. Really down. I listened for a long time. She finally perked up by telling me about this farm she's gotten to go to twice. It's XW's BF's friends house. She really likes it.

I wasn't happy, but I hid it from D9. Hey, I know XW is going to have some good times with the girls, and I knew about this farm. All I can do is maximize my time with them. I really feel my snowball is starting to roll and pick up steam.

I'm doing well not looking back. My thought of this week is "I am Teddy Roosevelt. I don't look back." I didn't want to type in the Wednesday conversation, but this site is my online diary. Someday, when this is as faded as the burns on my foot from when I was 5-years-old, I will go back through and read about the progress.

Another important step Monday. Turn over everything I have on the November auto accident to a lawyer and let him pursue a settlement. I'm tired of waiting on these guys.
