I know, I know...you're saying "enough with the Red Sox alrighty!!" But as I mentioned in my last post, I'd only write about the Sox again if they win the World Series...and they certainly did tonight, a sweep of four game to none against the Colorado Rockies!!

WOW! What a nail biting game 'til the end. I'm dedicating this post to the remarkable John Lester, the starting pitcher tonight, who battled a rare form of non-Hodkin's lymphoma last year at 22 years young. He kicked that nasty disease in the @ss and lead the Sox to their second World Series in three years. You are my MVP!!

Before I begin my post, I'd like to send my thoughts and prayers to the folks in San Diego and surrounding towns who are affected by this fierce and devastating fire. It's unfathomable to grasp the extend of the devastation until you watch it on TV. The latest news reported more than 500,000 or even as high as 950,000 people have been evacuated and hundreds of homes destroyed. Here's hoping that Mother Nature will ease her wrath and send some needed rain.

The expression on Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon's face and the t-shirt say it all folks!!   WHAT!A!GAME!  WHAT A GAME TONIGHT!!  And I don't know if you can contain your jealousy folks, but guess who's going to the first World Series game this coming Wednesday?!  That's right folks, unless my friend changes her mind and ditches me for someone else (she better not!)...I'll be posting pictures of the game Thursday!

Thanks my darling hubbie for babysitting the kids!  He's so excited for me but of course he'd love to take my place, but no chance buddy!!

This is out of the norm for me, posting on a Saturday. Saturdays or the weekends are reserved for family days, doing things outside, going into Boston, eating out, Mommy gets a few hours to do errands (BY HERSELF!) or simply hanging out together...family thing. But this is a different Saturday for me, I've been single parenting since last Sunday until next Thursday (yes, that's 12 looong days!) because the hubbie is jetsetting around the world on a business trip in Japan and Australia (nice huh?!).
