DJ Em is in da house!

This weekend was the "Badger Bash". The end of the year blowout for the Boodge's hockey team. Glenn got his trophy, Kent got his coaches gift; a REALLY nice v-neck pullover that goes with his "official" SJHA warm-ups with Coach Kent embroidered on it. And then there was this speech made by the team mom - She rambled on about how the team was always pumped and ready to play thanks to the great effort of the Badger's official DJ.... Emily! And there's my Meems standing there in the middle of a bunch of 9 and 10 year old boys whoopin' it up for Em! She turned EVERY shade of red, let me tell ya! *Sniff, sniff...tears*

The team gave her a really nice official SJHA baseball hat with the Badger's logo and "Badger's DJ" embroidered on the back. She even got a big thank you in the team video for all her work..She was tickled. She loves doin' this for Glenn's team and has gotten quite a rep around SJHA for doing it. It's become a given that whatever team Glenn's on, his big Sis will be cueing up the music at the games. She has even done it for the SJHA tournaments and her dad's tournaments too.

She even has my intro music ready when I show up. See the guys (and Em) have to get to the games an hour early. Moi, of course does not show up until game time. So when Meems see me, she always plays Def Leppard. That's the boy-childs cue that Mom has arrived! I love it, my entrance set to music!

The rest of the weekend was packed with B-day parties and sleepovers. Boodge had an impromptu play date at a friend from schools house and Meems had a slumber party. So late afternoon on Saturday, I'm out running errands when Dede calls to see what I'm doing. Seems she wanted to get out and do some running around herself. But I had already escaped. On my way home, Hubby calls to say Boodge is sleeping over at his friends house and he was heading to the ice rink to watch (since his leg is still "booted" up) his team's game. (There $275 I'll never seen again. Paid for the summer and he's sitting most of it out!) Hmmmm.... so no one was going to be around. I'm heading home, Dede lives around the corner... so instead of going straight, I take a left and let myself in. "OK, so where are we goin'?!"

So there we are, two Mom's from the 'burbs, cruising around in the minivan shopping for kids birthday presents on a Saturday night!WoooHOOOO!!!!

Oh well, there were some good tunes on the radio and it was just nice to get away.

And now I'm off to serf the 'net to find dance shoes. I was handed one of Miss Sue's infamous white slips of paper saying Meems needs two different types of shoes (that she doesn't have) for the recital in June! FIGURES!!!! Grrrrrrr!

So....TaTa for now!!
