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?
Guys & Gals-was off the grid for a while- Biz meetings but I did get to see Royals win game 1 at Target-Gorgeous night-great seats (FREE) If you ever go to target sit in 139 just above the fence-right field. The section is all high chairs and tables with plenty of room to walk around and chat.
I saw a ton of KC Royals fans at the game.
I wander if Barnes seen the writing on the wall, and for his faithfulness Texas allowed him to walk? In so many Barnes was the first to say it’s not my job to win championships but to get these kids drafted.
@brooksmd We then spend our summers up in Wisconsin away from instant internet, so we go to McD’s or the library for internet, so I’m not around kubuckets that much, but, I’ll be back!
Though most of the bats have cooled, Salvy has 3 dingers in 4 games & 3 are wins. Anyway is OK for us…One hitters sure come in handy when you’re fightin for 1st place. .
@brooksmd Chris Young vs Trevor May tonite. Young has been shelled lately & May struck out 9 in 7 shutout innings last time out. Tighten up them hips boys. The Twinkies think they’re for real.
@globaljaybird salvys a whole new breed of tough. Wonder, besides playing in the off season, what kind of wkouts he does? He could do wall sits all day.
