Choose Joy & Coffee

"When on a roadtrip to TX & it's 95 degrees outside..it tends to quell my exploring bent...thinking I'll read and binge text!😂😂 and drink coffee!☕️#veteranbaseballwifelife #roadtrippin #jamespatterson "

Several of my friends think I live on a perpetual vacation. Baseball Wives know it's quite different. There is little to no joint sightseeing or time together because my Coach Hubby leaves for the ballpark by noon and isn't finished with work until 11pm+/- . I do venture out on my own a lot and play tourist, but some days it's just not happening. The wifey life can be "single mom" life ..I remember those days... for this "older wifey" it's many hours to oneself. I'm so thankful for the amazing women and men in my life that "get it"!

When I'm on a road trip, I sit at games with the guys charting the game in the stands since I'm usually the only traveling wifey ..they endure my questions and chatting! It must be like babysitting their "Mom"..LOL. At home games, we (Wives) sit together and have our Social Time! I'm the "Mimi of the group and they are so sweet!

There are some days when loneliness and missing family sets in and I have to remind myself that I'm not alone. I have the God who loves me with me all the time! I seek no pity! I have a great life..quirks and all! Regardless of my life journey, I have a choice everyday. The choice is to find the joy or stick my head in the sand and pout🙁. I choose JOY....most days😎 and coffee everyday!
