Eight Year Old Antics

So, while was out of town at a retreat, my hubs took the boy to a Padres vs Dodgers game.

We are huge Dodger fans, but live closer to San Diego, so they went to Padres Stadium and sat behind the Dodger dug out.

They got 2 balls tossed to them- one from a Dodger and one from a Padres, had amazing seats and.... got on TV.

My husband dvr'd the game knowing they would be seen.

Within the first 2 minutes, here is what happened.

My son is the kid in the bright blue, just to the bottom left of the batter.

And, all along we've been thinking he's shy.....

Who knew?

We went to a Dogder's game at the beginning of the season. My daughter 'caught' a warm up ball. She raised it up over her head and was all "woot-woot" and then promptly tripped up the stairs.

Where's my video camera when I need it!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin
