SadHub, I had a good five day run with S11. S11 had his LL game Saturday night. His team squeaked by with a 2-0 score against an unexpected tough team from our neighboring town. Afterwards the head coach treated the team to pizza and ice cream for clinching the league championship and making it to the district tournament.
WW came late and sat on the bleachers on purpose even though I set out a chair for her. It was fine, I had expected it. She ignored me for a couple innings so I went over to let her know that S11 caught a cold and woke me up at 2am for medicine, but is fine otherwise. She didn't even listen to what I said and told me "I'm fine sitting where I am." I said, no, I'm not trying to get you to sit next to me, I'm telling you about our son! It's crazy that she's so focused on herself.
Sunday S11 played in a travel ball league playoff series and his team did well and won both their games by mercy. It was in the next county and more than an hour's drive, and I offered a few days ago to carpool with WW but she never answered my text. The other team parents asked me where she was but I just smiled and said she might make it later. She never showed up but it turns out that she told S11 that she had "something to do" and wasn't coming. Very annoying, her selective text replying, she started to do that right before BD. I think I will have to do a better job of DB'ing and not to do these favors for her in the future.
S11 was still battling the cold in the morning and wanted to stay home, but I told his team would be short without him and we can't back out at the last minute. I convinced him to go and he was fine once he got to the field and saw all his teammates, smiling and laughing with them. These are the things I look forward to now, the happiness I see on his face and the camaraderie with his friends.
Monday morning was the swap again with WW. Will have S11 back on Wednesday.
