bah humbug!

Dammit. Why can’t people just… just… GET INVOLVED? No, I’m not talking about Katrina, or Rita, or anything so far removed, as I’m selfish like that. But you know – if I can get out and about in support of my kids and their love of Little League Baseball play, even enough to allow myself to be volunteered to be on the board of directors, in the midst of my own little breakdown..

WHY CAN’T ANYONE ELSE?

Five.

There were FIVE of us that showed up for a meeting where at least 150 letters of intention were sent out and notice placed on the website.

Five.

IT really just boggles the mind. I was at the ball fields 6 days a week, with three kids playing in three different divisions, along with keeping the website up to date, and games listed and available for parents and anyone who needed them! I am no where near a “super mom” – in fact I fail my kids brilliantly sometimes, but goddammit when they love something as much as they love LIttle League, i’m there for them 100%!

We postponed the meeting till next month. I came home and made phone calls. Nana Moosie is going to write a letter to the editor for me. I’ll see that the next meeting is announced in the paper. Ladybug will pass the word. Miss A. has already agreed to come and help be involved and possibly serve a position on the board if needed.

If we can’t fill all 7 positions on the board? There will be NO KLL next year! Something that makes my daughter whimper every time I said it on the phone tonight.

Dammit if people can’t get off their ass? I’ma sic my daughter on them. Let them try and say no to those big blue eyes all welled up with tears!

Bah humbug.
