I got home with little time to get to the ball fields. That was the way I planned it so I wouldn't get into an argument with Dh before DD's game. I had the picture I had taken of SD's tweet saying how nice it would be if I would just die in my pocket just waiting for the moment when DH wanted to talk to me. For a minute I thought we would get to the game without any questions, but no DH couldn't hold off.

DH was helping me load the equipment and the so very familiar request came "We really need to talk."
I tell him, "We do, but lets wait until after the game, but for now you can look over this. Don't react or say a word about it to me until the game is over." There was no denying that this was Sd's page because it hade her pictures on the left and her full name on top so I did not feel like it needed an explanation.

The game before us is running late, so I am on the other side of the dug out going over my batting order when I hear FIL's voice. I couldn't help but perk my ears up. I am not sure if FIL saw me or even if DH did for that matter because with the delay of the game we had twice as many people at the field. I would like to think they didn't , but either way it doesn't matter much.

FIL says to my DH, "You know I was thinking about what you said last night and your wrong SD is your priority not Patsy. SD and I talked today and she let me know what is really going on."
DH: Really did she call you?
FIL: No I called her. I wanted to hear her side.
DH: Dad I'll talk to you after the game about it.
FIL: Well you have a big problem with your wife and she is going to ruin any relationship you have with SD.
DH: You don't know what your talking about!
DH is getting pretty loud so I come out so I can be seen. Hoping they will not cause a scene.
By then I see FIL looking at the picture I printed off. I was on my way over to them by the time I saw this so I just pretended I was getting a drink from the cooler. It took all I had not to say anything to FIL, but I refrained.
FIL folded the paper like it was a secret from me....IDIOT!

I had so much adrenaline running through me by then I was so stoked to win this game now. I felt like it was the championship game! I got my girls excited too and by the time I sent them on the field they felt 10ft tall and bullet proof. My pitcher threw a 3 no hit innings! We had three grand slams (one was dd's ) ZERO ERRORS in the field and 4 double plays! We beat the first place team by 13 to 3. When the ump asked if we wanted to enforce the 10 run rule and call the game my girls answer a huge NO, unfortunately the opposing team's coach didn't want to go on.

We were on such a high after that game you would have thought it was college ball! I got so many texts and calls from parents about how much the girls are in love with softball this year! I felt so good. I really needed that! When the game is over and parents aren't rushing their kids off to get home, but instead gathering to talk and gloat about them. NOW THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW IT WAS A GOOD GAME!

My DH was the first to come on the field and landed a big old fat kiss on me. LOL if people would have really known how much that game meant to me they would have understood the little bit of PDA display.

It may have not have been a championship game but I won so much more than that last night.

BTW DH left me a little note this morning under my coffee mug.

"I'm sorry I didn't defend you to SD. It was wrong and it won't happen again. She knows I saw it and she knows I will not see her until it is taken down and an apology is put up instead. I love you. You are my one. -Love, ME"
