I can hit!

I love when we get our gas bill, because I love seeing how low it can be each month. So today I said to Geoff "tomorrow they read the gas meater!" "I mean meter". Geoff was like "HAHAHAHAHAHA. Meater!!" Yes, it's funny.

Lest you think I'm a softball star and that's why I'm coaching (I know, none of you are that dilusional), I have really never hit a softball or baseball in my life. We used to play in gym class for a couple of weeks a year, and I can't recall ever hitting it. Sure, maybe I got a little piece of it or maybe even hit a foul ball or two, but I certainly never hit the ball. Geoff even threw me a couple of pitches before a practice a couple of months ago, but nothing.

Yesterday I decided that after all of this coaching and telling the girls how to hit it, I HAD to be able to hit a softball! We were very early for our game again and so was one little girl, so Geoff was doing some batting practice with her. He had 6 balls and threw her 4, and then she had to go to the bathroom. So I grabbed a bat (yes, it's meant for 3rd graders, but whatever) and asked Geoff to throw me the last 2 balls. I figured after all of the girls I've watched be corrected in their batting stance, girls I've corrected, and all of the times we've said "keep your eye on the ball!" I would know how to stand, and if I could keep my eye on the ball I could actually hit it. The first one was a bad pitch, but the second one I hit dead on and it went all the way into the outfield!! I was a little shocked. So then I ran out there and collected all 6 balls and had Geoff pitch them to me again. 2 were bad pitches, 1 I nicked a little but didn't quite get, but the other 3 I hit! Again, all of them to the outfield. I'm so proud. I now have the skill level of a 3rd grader!

Oh, and since the Duggar Family is pregnant again, Momlie and I have decided that they should name their new baby Jeffrey, to go with all 17 other J names they have.
