It's TRIBE Time Now

I think it's October 20th! I am sort of out of it. I have been traveling back and forth. Atlanta-Cleveland-Boston-Atlanta. The suspense is killing me. I'll admit to some I may not be the best baseball wife. I sort of watch the game. I am into every pitch when Paul throws, but the other nights I have the game on while doing laundry, emailing and peeking at Law and Order. But this year life is beginning to change. I am so into the games. You'd think I was married to all the players. I am as Tribefan as they come. Okay, I am not as intense as my parents who are twirling their towels in the livingroom at home! But, I'm into it. I have to say, the guys on the team and their wives are so excited, so appreciative and so giddy. We've formed a little family. I share my Zantac 150's with wives who have eaten too many greasy foods while stressing during the game. We hi-five eachother when we score a run. I am screaming at games. I may paint my face and have a feather headress on next time.
What I think is also funny is that I live this double life right now. I am up until 6:30am on a team plane celebrating. Then I am home helping Colby with a book report and making sandwiches for school lunch. I love being with Paul and having fun AND I am learning to appreciate the normal life we have as well. Baseball wives may I say are strong women. We are very independent and we can do some serious multi-tasking. I am thinking about the possibility of Paul throwing in the World Series, but there is an equally important matter at hand as well...Halloween Costumes and trick-or-treating! Do I buy candy in Georgia or Cleveland. I know we live this extrodinary life, but I also want my kids to experience the special normal kid things like getting candy, your mom taking out all the "poisonous ones"(somehow those were always Snickers) and dumping your bag out on the den floor and throwing out the wax black and orange ones! I guess behind that is the deep desire and passion I have for my kids to be down to earth. They have experienced so much and I am so grateful for it. But I think for me I can see the temptation to let all this life consume me and I can miss the real blessings and the ones that will stick with me long after Paul retires(and wins the World Series and says he did it for me!Hee Hee). So I live in both worlds and try to navigate through them the best way I can. I think savor is the best choice of words. I am attempting to savor all that baseball brings and all that life has to offer. So I'll go without some sleep, eat chips after 6pm., cheer until I'm hoarse AND check out Colby's new purchases on Club Pengiun and quiz Grayson on arachnids. Because as they say, "Life is not a dress rehersal. It's live." Let's GO Tribe!!!!!
