It's Part of the Hippocratic Oath...

8:30pm - Eating ice cream on the beach in Narraganset. Katy is not supposed to be on call, but due to miscommunication among her subordinates, receives a call from the hospital.

Lab: "Your patient's lab results from 3:30 this afternoon are in. His blood sugar level is 2."

Katy: "Great, so he is probably dead. Now I'm gonna have to go to a wake."

Minutes of discussion on the inappropriate hilarity of the lab taking so long to get those vital results back.

Jackie: "Wait, why would you have to go to the wake?"

Katy: "It's part of the hippocratic oath."

Sarah: "That's just plain ridiculous..."

T-shirt that Katy will inevitably have to wear to the wake, showing her support of the family on behalf of vacationing medical professionals everywhere:






























*Disclaimer: It is not likely that Katy's patient actually died, as he is a long-time sufferer of diabetes and should have had the common sense to recognize his plummeting blood sugar level and give himself an insulin shot

That's what friends are for....

Hello "Friends" -

This week has really opened my eyes. I have recently come to terms with who my real friends are. These people will support you no matter what decision you make…..that is …..unless that decision is to attend a different softball game than the one they're playing in. After an in depth texting "conversation" with Jackie I realized there are very few acceptable reasons to miss a Cheshire Softball game. Although we'd all assume a Lil Wayne Concert is one of those items - we are in fact wrong. I'm simply embarrassed for anyone that would think otherwise.















As most of you know I did in fact miss a game this week for one of the above "unacceptable" items. This resulted in complete destruction of my reputation as a reliable player as well as the destruction of my self esteem. Should I have gone to Cheshire and skipped my co-ed game??? Should I have risked my co-ed team forfeit due to not enough girls to play?? Should I have never signed up for that team?? These were all thoughts in my head as I was laying in bed last night receiving ridiculous amounts of sh*t for missing one game. Which leads me to this….
























Now for those that chose to respond to my lack of attendance with Option D - Cyber Bullying - well shame on you...



















As I recover from the copious amounts of cyber-bullying I have been receiving I have to ask myself - is this abuse worth the joy of being on this team? Simple answer - yes.

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies –

I have been trying to enjoy the blog from a-far, but alas I have some important information to contribute. For starters I hope everyone is enjoying the season. I hope the beer caliber in the cooler has improved as the age of the team has decreased and I hope we continue to be supporting each other during through hits, and runs, and hits and runs and hits and runs and hits, and runs.

There has been a lot of progress this season:
- We got the CRAZY team to overlook a potential “WIN” (nice Jacks)
- Sarah was able to get an award by locating a friend’s missing cat
- We learned, I can get Jess’ bod by just taking steroids – wait till you see me at the next game. I will have lost 50 lbs
- In my spare time I started a relationship with a state trooper a few houses down. His wife was a total loser and my girls could not resist his kids or dog
- Ms. Lovelace and her clan has been injury free for at least 2 weeks which is progress compared to this winter
- Court is making her mother proud by playing her first softball game this season (thank goodness b/c she will need some brownie points as her future sister-in-law starts sucking up and winning over Nancy and Mark’s attention and affection)

The graphic below depicts the variance between my current participation on softball compared to my desire to participate in the 2011 Season:




Anyway assuming we have games next week. I hope to be there on…hold your breath…Wednesday.
Monday I am at The Hartford (I was hoping to see Sarah but alas she is too busy!) but Wednesday I hope to be with you lovely ladies.

In case you haven’t been keeping up with my hear fatal experiences via “The Facebook”, below is a summary of how I have spend the last few days:




XOXOXO Girls!

Tara's Job Security

Today Tara expressed concern over losing her job as a DCF-like employee. Governor Malloy is laying off upwards of 6500 state workers. But Tara is employed by Yale. Which begs the question...

Colin, do you have a safe place to stay tonight?

Just a reminder of this exchange at tonights game - a chart on this topic is still pending.

Sarah: "Colin, do you have a safe place to stay tonight?"
Colin: "no....I wish you would stay with us"
Tara (mortified): "oh....you're so cute"
Colin: "then give me a beer!"

30 minutes later...

Colin: "Sarah I need a weapon!"


Does anyone have the number for child protective services??

The sippy cup incident

Tara: Ok - funny story to get you all to love each other again..............
Dinner time is a little hectic with a 2 YR OLD AND 3 YR OLD, a mini horse, a cat and a DB....
Soo tonight we were eating dinner and on my 2nd glass of wine, Maura wanted her sippy cup opened and water put in it from my cup - this particular sippy cup gets stuck (and should be in the garbage but that's another story). Big DB says throw it to me and I'll open it so I back hand it to him (with my left hand and I am a righty) and it goes flying a lot harder than I anticipated, hits him square in the forehead and slams into the glass sliding door (which thank goodness did not break)....soo as I am laughing uncontrollably I go over to apologize to DB and come to find out he is bleeding and within seconds has a huge lump on his forehead.....the kids are screaming why did you hurt Daddy??? The dog is barking, the cat is hissing and I just laugh and drink my wine..........................

No charts for this b/c I suck at charts but I hope you fun bags have a much better start to your weekends than the DB family did...............
SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy: This story had it all...
it made me laugh.
It made me cry.
It made me cringe.

It was lonely without a chart...
I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of creating one...
I can't help myself.
