Tired and Frustrated

It's been a week since my last log, and a lot has happened.

The Sox SWEPT Anaheim in the ALDS and the Yankees beat Minnesota in 4. Last night was game#1 of the ALCS re-match and let's just say it does not look promising for the Boston Dirt Dogs. Curt Schilling, our stud, OUR ACE, got completely shelled before he was yanked (no pun intended) after 3 innings. This was, in my humble opinion, 2 innings to long to leave him in. His ankle is hurt and it looks bad. He had nothing last night and everyone knew it right away. This injury is apparently going to bother him throughout the rest of the post-season and may in fact put him on the shelf without even pitching again. The Sox mad a good comeback in the late innings by turning a 6-0 deficit into a 7-8 game going in the 8th. The final score, however, was 10-7 Yankees. I'm very tired from staying up for this late game!!! Pedro will face Leiber in the Bronx for game#2 tonight.

On a more positive note, The Patriots won their record breaking 19th game in a row against the Fish on Sunday. This was no big surprise from a 13 1/2 point favorite, but what a great accomplishment. They are now 4-0 this season, and so are the Jets. The Bills and Dolphins appear to already be out of the picture, so barring a huge meltdown, I think it's safe to say that we will most likely make the play-offs again this year. This Sunday should be great with the Pats hosting the solid looking 3-1 SeaHawks at 1:00, followed by (let's hope) ALCS game#5 at 4:35. Not that I'm likely going to get to watch either of these games...maybe I'll get lucky and the kids will go down for a nappy nap at the same time during one of these games.

Speaking of my kids, Jason is doing well in school. He still wakes up every morning and declares that he's not going to school, but he seems to have no problems with the separation at drop off, and reports that he's having fun at the end of each day. Today he has gym class and tomorrow will be his first school portrait day.

Emily is also doing great. She loves to pet her kitty and feed her kitty treats. She starting to talk too. She was looking at a picture of animals today and said "sheep"...when we looked at the picture, she had her finger right on the sheep! She got it right and said it clearly! Now if she would just sleep at night.
