Baseball season officially gets underway in Cincinnati today! I love this day! Not only is baseball back, but spring can't be far behind. Even though it has officially been spring for nearly a week now, we haven't had much springlike weather at this point.
For years, I have tried to make Opening Day a "clear" day on the calendar. When I was in college it was fairly easy as my classes were usually finished by early afternoon. Once I began working after college, I could usually have the radio turned on my co-workers were fans as well so they didn't mind. Becoming a mother meant even more availability to "celebrate" the day! I remember years of dressing the kids in either Reds clothing (or even just red clothes) and dedicating the day to baseball.
When I began working, it became challenging because I didn't always think ahead before accepting a job. And there were also years (as they do now) when Opening Day was moved to the middle off of Monday and to another day of the week. Even when we moved and I didn't work for a few years, there always seemed to be a track meet on Opening Day! This year, we have no track participants, but I'm working today, and I have to go straight to my church job right after school. I hope to be able to accomplish only what I absolutely have to get done, and then head home.
This year, Andrew and I actually have tickets to Sunday's game. It's going to be pretty chilly, but I am looking forward to an afternoon together with just him!
