A few highlights from my life......

Well the hand-holding continues at work. A much beloved co-worker is flying the coop and heading to San Diego. Sadness reigns supreme here at work. It was a week of emotional highs and lows.

The roller-coaster ride continues at home. Add to the normal whirlwind of hockey, dance, hockey, dance, blah, blah, blah..... My dryer completely fell apart! Lost the seal and the drum kept catching all the clothes and completely trashed them, left grease marks and tore them up!! Unfortunately, it was a load of Hubby's whites.... On a lighter note, I ran into him in the the bathroom while he was getting ready for his hockey game and he was wearing a pair of these not so "tighty whiteys". "Um Hon, are ya sure ya want to go in the locker room with that "skid mark"? (I asked ever so sweetly..) He was not amused (if the language he was using was any indicator) I thought it was funny. And so my weekend was spent at the laundromat catching up on the wash. Good times!

After writing out $420 worth of checks for Hockey tournaments, dance recital costumes and other related crud (can't wait for the bill to fix the dyer) - my husband decides he needs more hockey to watch on tv and calls the cable company to add Fox Sportsnet to the cable lineup. Cuz really, how can he survive without watching the Wisconsin Badgers take on the Michigan Golden Gophers! *MAJOR eye roll here* Guess I'll be getting online and seeing what channels I need to dump. Hell, I'm not home to watch 3/4 of them anyway!

And of course such a lovely week couldn't end without a classic Karrie stunt: Did you all enjoy the SuperBowl? I hope so...cuz I spent the 2nd half of it LOCKED OUT OF MY DAMN HOUSE!!! Oh yes, classic! The hubby and kidlets were at their Sunday afternoon fight-fest, better known as the Totems hockey game. I was enjoying my Sunday afternoon "Yippee! Nobodies home!" and went out to the car to get something I had forgotten. I slammed the front door and it immediately hit me......NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Sure enough, hubby had locked the door behind him when he left and I was screwed! On the home security side; after exhausted effort, I can say that the average person can not break into my house. Yipeee!! And it was just my luck that everyone of my damn neighbors was at someone else's house watching the game and I was stuck there in the driveway all by my wittle lonesome. *sniff* Oh well! The car was unlocked, so I cleaned it out a bit, found my book that I've been reading during lunch @ work and the kids book light they use when they're reading in the car and snuggled in and waited for the rest of the family to get home!! Gawd!! My life is truly lame at times!

But, I would rather end this ramble on a happy note and tell of the one bright spot in my weekend. Friday night @ Dede's this week was a celebration! My co-pilot in the "PTA Posse" will be making the leap and transferring to my department @ work! *Happy Dance, Happy Dance!* Much hand holding required to make this happen and it had been a rather stressful week waiting for this to come together. So Friday it was great to have all the posse together, Dede's hubby making VERY tasty beverages, and lots of giggles!!

I'll try and remember that feeling cuz if today is any indication, this week is going to be another dooozy!! Vegas! Vegas! Vegas!...... It can't come fast enough!!

Hope you all have a GREAT week!!
