This morning Brother has his second to last baseball game. His team has won one game. I love his team, coaches and players. They do not give up. They don't get mad at each other. They encourage each other.
This team couldn't have been more tailor made for my son. My son's biggest wish. The biggest thing he wants more than anything this season? A hit. He's so afraid of getting hit. I hope he gets it. Talk about BIG boost to his self-confidence. Prayers around 11 CST?

I've been pondering the ideas of exclusivity. I think that if a group, an official group, has an outing, no one should be left out. I think that if a teen invites the other teen boys (or girls) in this group to a movie, he (or she) should not exclude one boy (or girl). And, then, these boys (or girls) should know better than to discuss the movie and the outing in front of this boy (or girl). And give him (or her) the guest list. I'm just sayin'.

However, if a few of the boys (or girls) get together for something, not everyone has to be invited. It's just only if it's a group thing. Just as sometimes moms will get together to do something. It's a fine line, I know, but it's one I've always placed. Maybe it's misplaced. Not everyone clicks. It's not necessarily a clique, but some people mesh better together.

I'm also pondering backing away from our homeschool group. There are pluses and minuses. It's a hard decision. I have to do what's best for my children. It's been a positive experience...for the most part.
=) You can't end your blog like that? You gotta tell the story! Is it related to unschooling? I always find it hard to be consistently involved in a homeschooling group.
