I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@dylans I’m sorry that I challenged your work ethic. I didn’t mean it to come off that way when I wrote it. I didn’t think it was a personal attack when I wrote it, and certainly didn’t expect you to respond so aggressively to it. I just wanted to put in perspective what NBA players schedules are like.
I apologize for offending you. Sometimes things get a little heated during the offseason when news get slow.
@Lulufulu
You would think she is not hurting for money but it is not quite so. Kennedy Sommer got $100k and a one year car lease as PMOTY but she is contractually limited on what else she can do in the way of endorsements and appearances. She does have 2 Master’s degrees and indicated she would use the prize money to attend medical school. Unless she has a sugar daddy like Jeff, her income is limited.
Lulufulu nice man! Wish Bennett and Self would schedule a home and home. Why not? Why do the major conferences have to only play each other in the context of non con tourneys?
So there is a feed on the main menu now, but it stops after a certain number of characters. I read it as you have to strike while the women are hot. As in attractive. It was just humorus. That’s all.
But I do agree with your post.

Lot’s of interesting comments there about KU also.
They weren’t sure about Diallos grades clear back to middle school so he missed the first semester.
UNC’s players committed academic fraud and were caught red handed. Here it is years later and still no penalty. They should have been banned from the NCAA tournament the last two years as it is for student athletes in good standing. Instead they are in the title game.
I really hope a good journalist gives the NCAA two black eyes for this one.
