Catching up.....

When last we talked, we were on our way east of the mountains for another hockey tournament..... That's one weekend I'll never get back. I really wasn't looking forward to this one for a lot of reasons - I've made this trip to Spokane way too many times in my past to visit my "grandparents'' of which I really don't have any fond memories. I believe my grandmother still lives in Spokane, but I didn't look her up. Which gives you an idea of the situation with that part of the family. We had heard about the referees in this tournament from some other teams that came to our tournament and they lived up to their reputation...THEY SUCKED!! To the point official complaints were filed with the league. Good times....

Oh and our team - not good. Chalk this up to the Refs and the indoor pool at the hotel. I mean really, booked the team into a hotel with a pool and tell them they can't swim 'cus it will wear them out..... Duh!! And I tried!! But we're talking about 9/10 year old boys at their first out of town tourney. So I sat on the Boodge and tried to make him rest *snort*. But he looked at me with those baby blues when he heard the rest of the team thundering down the hall, I caved! Why fight it, it's not like my kid alone is going to win the next game 'cus he got "well rested" ...screw it. I got sick of looking like the mean mom! So they all went down together. And frankly, after the hits, punches and sticks to the throat these kids took (and no calls by the refs!!!) they deserved it. If for no other reason then they did not retaliate, not once. They were pissing mad after the games, but during the game they didn't hit back. So swim away!! At least you'll have one good memory.

The rest of the week was typical....Work, dance, hockey, etc....

More later about this weekend but really, aren't you sick of me talkin'?!
