Karrie's Box of Thoughts

*Insert picture of Karrie pulling her hair out here:_____*

Birthdays... Mine was last week (the most important, of course! lol), My mom's is today, my niece's is Weds and the boy-child's is next Tues. oh, and my other niece the week after that. Add to that the b-days we celebrate at work, school, etc... and I'm birthday'd out! This is the second worst birthday block for me, next to the May/June/July onslaught.

And what else have we got going this week? Hmmm, let's see: 4 dance classes, 1 piano lesson, and a piano recital for Meems, 2 hockey practices, 1 hockey clinic and 1 hockey game for the Boodge. Now being that the hubby is the asst coach for said boy-child's hockey team that means he also has 2 hockey practices, 1 hockey clinic, 1 hockey game and add to his list, his own hockey team's game. Moi? Between dance practices, hockey practices, piano recitals, b-days and hockey games, I walked in to a dept today @ work with 3 people working and there is normally 8. I have been picked for a "Op Ex" committee and have meetings for that (pleeez) and I have to somehow find time to run around and get things ready for Dede's Halloween party and a T-birds hockey game, both on Saturday night.

Speaking of Dede...I truly love that girl! I told her that I didn't think I could make the Halloween party this year because I forgot we had tickets for the T-Birds the same night. I had missed the opening night game because all my girlies and guys had come to town and the kids really wanted me to come. She said that was Ok, she understood. THEN after she stewed for a few, I got the real story. She was totally bummed. Now, I would have still blown her off and brought up plenty of examples of her exercising her favorite line "Pick you battles" but then she sez... you've been a part of it for so long, I started thinking of it as "Our party", even her hubby was flabbergasted and demanded to know what Dede had done to piss me off! I'm sorry, but that was too much. It was awfully sweet of the both of them to feel that way, and I couldn't resist. So I will be doing double duty and going to both. Since I have to do both, it did inspire me to come up with a costume, and Meems has now stolen the idea and wants to do the same, so if I can pull off one, I guess two won't be that much harder.

Speaking of Meems...*sigh* what a cutie she was this weekend. That girl takes after her mom way too much. Poor, poor Hubby! The boy-child's hockey game was at the pit of hell ice arena this time. This place is an old Safeway store that they basically poured water in the middle of the floor and called it good. It's freezing, the ice sucks and there is a smelled that can not be described. HOWEVER, it is also the practice ice for the Seattle Thunderbirds and guess who was there Saturday morning. Guess who stood by the girl-child and watched her little brother play, 2 of her favorite goalies...awwwww. I had more fun watching her and listening to her go "Oh!" when one of them came out of the locker rooms, although I do have a bruise from her slapping me. My parents were in town and came to the game and my dad said the same thing, "I had more fun watching Em! That girl is going to give her dad fits!" Yep, poor, poor Hubby! Such a time he has trying to keep his two girls under control.....

Well, for someone bitching about no time, I sure rambled on, uh?! Oh well, last of the "me time" for the week. Probably won't be around here much, so have a great week everyone!
