On the road again

Well, my baby daddy left today for an 8 day road trip.  The team is headed to Memphis and then Nashville.  The days are sooooooo long when he is away.  Don't get me wrong I enjoy the occasional  break from the baseball field.  Especially the freeeeeezing cold baseball field here in Reno.  But it's tough being in an unfamiliar place where you don't know many people.  I feel like it's especially tough for Parker.  I try to get her out of the condo as much as possible, but she has to be thinking, "Seriously? You? And me? Again?"  Last road trip I caught her on the computer looking for plane tickets home and packing her Mickey Mouse suit case....and that was only a 4 day road trip.  Also, she is CRAZY about her father, so that doesn't help the situation.  He's the "fun" parent.  I'm chopped liver when he's around.  Haha. We miss him tons when he's gone.  I'm hoping the weather stays nice so we can go to the pool or the zoo everyday.  Yeah, you heard me.  Everyday.  She loooooves being outside.  She also loves playing with other kids, so that is another reason it's so hard not knowing other moms here in Reno.  Parker pretty much made it look like she was being abducted.....by ME today at the pool when her "friends" (that she met today and played with for about 15 minutes) were leaving.  She was pushing me away and screaming as they walked away.  I was like, "Ummmmm.....I swear she's mine.  Come on sweetie.  Mommy loves you. MOMMY loves you.  Because you're my DAUGHTER.  I'm your MOMMY."  Haha!!  Seriously.  It was kind of sad, but mostly just embarrassing.  Gosh I love that kid.



I have 3 words for all you parents out there.

FRESH.      BEAT.       BAND.

These are the happiest 30 year old "teenagers" I have ever encountered.  And Parker is OBSESSED.  She will run sprint from whatever room she is in straight to the living room when she hears the opening song.  She dances and sings her little heart out and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen.  I have probably video taped her dancing about 37 times since we've been here in Reno and I will probably tape her at least 189 more times before Ryan gets home in 8 days.  And I'm not going to lie......I rock out to some of the songs right along with her.  It's pathetic I know.  I'm just saying that when they go on tour we WILL be going.  Haha!!!  I'm actually not sure if I really like the music or if I am just so happy to NOT hear the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song that anything would sound amazing.

Well, that's all for now.  I'll try to update you again soon.
