It just keeps going around...

In my previous blog post, I said that Maggie was sick. Well, she was better by that weekend, and by then Darrell was sick. He was also being a big baby about it. I know he felt bad, but come on! I just thought Maggie was whiny. Heh. He went to the doctor on Monday, and has a severe sinus infection, so he's on antibiotics and some other meds. Monday morning, Hunter got up saying he wasn't feeling too well, but he went on to school anyway (it was the last day!). We had to pick up report cards yesterday morning, and he was still feeling bad. He went back to bed when we got home, and then started running a fever and vomiting. So, now he's sick. Geez, this shit can go the hell away any time now!

Mackenzie's softball schedule is well underway now. They've played three games and had one canceled due to rain. They've lost all their games so far, too, unfortunately. They are a good team, it's just a few sloppy plays that seem to lose it for them. They've lost two of the games just by one and two points, and the other one was the second game in a doubleheader. They were tired, and the pitcher kept walking the other team, so it was finally called after they got so far ahead.

Mackenzie is wanting to learn to do fastpitch, so we've been looking at instructional videos and stuff, but she doesn't want to practice the techniques, so I don't know how it's going to turn out. If she wants to learn to pitch properly, I have no problems helping her learn, but she just wants to go out there and start throwing the ball instead of practicing the wrist snap, and making sure she's holding the ball correctly, etc. I'm not going to push her, though. If she really wants to learn, she'll put the effort in.
