Don't be jealous now...

I really don't want you to be jealous.

You'll never guess what I found in my house recently.

Secretly, I bet you are going to want one.

This was in the livingroom

Did you catch the fact I said it was in my livingroom?

Doesn't every house have something that says QUICKSWING in their livingroom?

The bigger picture is that this is what I have, currently, in my livingroom

The Husband, bless his heart, was so excited to purchase this

for Kidlet Three.  In fact, when I raised a little stink about having

this new piece of furniture in the livingroom, I was told "it is

for your child...it is the best thing for your child." When

The Husband speaks, he puts the emphasis on the word child.

Today I came home from work and found this on the couch

You don't suppose they are using real baseballs in the

Joe Mauer QuickSwing in the livingroom?

The Husband and Kidlet Three told me that the best part

of the whole QuickSwing kit was the net.  Yes, there is

another part to this whole operation.  And, for awhile, it was

in, you guessed it, the room of the house that most people

don't have sports equipment in.

Somehow, the little stink I made sunk in and the net was

moved to the basement.  Now our basement has been a

hoarders delight for many years.  No one, repeat, no one

has been able to move around in the family room for years.

Until a couple of months ago when I was afraid someone

would submit our name to that new TV show about hoarders.

I started pitching and cleaning and moving and hiding stuff so

this room could become usable.  WELL, because there was

now room to move, the net was moved downstairs.

And it wasn't moved there by me!!  The net is so tall it

is hitting the ceiling!  The thing has to be close to 8 1/2 feet

tall and is almost the width of the family room!!!

I can't wait to see how it looks in the backyard.

Now, I really, really, really don't want to sound like I'm

complaining or bashing The Husband.  Because, that

isn't who I want to be.   And you know, when The Husband

reads this blog, he will shake his head at me and say

"You just really don't understand men"

Was that a giggle I just heard from you?

So, I get to be probably the only woman on the face

of this earth that has a batting machine in her livingroom.

Admit it now, you are just a tad bit jealous of me aren't you????

Batter's up!
