More than meets the eye

People think a lot of different things about police officers.  It's no secret, not all of these thoughts are good.  However behind  almost every man with a badge, is a family at home.  We have learned over the last few years to make the most of what you have.  Weekends that hubs is off work is family time, we try not to schedule much activity with anyone else just so we can enjoy our time as a family.  I know as the kids get older it won't happen as often.  One of the things that we do as a family is baseball.  Thing 1 is on a team, Thing 2 is on another team.  That's right 2 different teams, 2 different schedules, the works.  Hubs however has found himself helping with Thing 2's tball team this year, at least when he is there.  When I say helping, not only do I mean helping coach one of the bases and telling the kids when to stop and go, but also helping with crowd control. Let's face it, and 4, 5 and 6 it is as much crowd control as anything else. 

So for all the folks who think the man writing you a ticket is a ____________ (insert ugly word here), just remember that somewhere there is a little fella waiting on daddy to get home to play ball.
