Hockey Mom is back.

Yep, this weekend officially starts the hockey season around our house. Boy-child plays 3 games this weekend, my beloved T-Birds’ home openers is Saturday night and Sunday afternoon Kent and kidlets will be going to the Totems.

Girl-child is doubly excited about this weekend because its boys and hockey and she’s been pretty much in solitary confinement/lock-down for 3 weeks. (I won’t even go into why, I’m trying to forget the whole thing) So here we go!!

I’m fighting the crud that Hubby was soooooo sweet to share. And since I have no time to curl up and hide, I’m muddling through. But if this throbbing behind my left eye doesn’t let up I may be looking like our favorite pirate. Oh well, there’s a hell of a lot worse things happening in the world so I’ll stop the bitchin’.

Plans have been made for Vegas… mostly. I’m crossing everything I’ve got hoping Kim T can still make it!! Sad that E*V*I*L Kim can’t (Next time! – We keep sayin’ it, but one of theses days IT WILL HAPPEN!). And everyone else seems to be popping up with their confirmations, so this should be fun and interesting….mwahahaha.

Before Vegas, the Tuesday before to be precise, I’ll be going to the show @ the Everett Event Center. And my concert buddy will be the girl-child! Well Dede’s going too, but nothing like having a Diva with me! Meems is very excited to finally get to go. She bugs me all the time and I put her off with the comment “If they play Everett, I’ll take ya” And damn their evil hides, look what they go and do! But her enthusiasm is a bit contagious and just what I needed, since I’ve become a bit road weary.

Normally, I make it a rule never to listen to the band before a show, so it’s all “fresh” when I see it. But we’ve gotten in to the habit of listening to the CD’s in the car on the way to and from dance so the girl knows them better. She’s a fan (Slang is her favorite). But she doesn’t know them word for word and I told her if she looked like one of those weirdos you see lip-synching BADLY, I had no qualms about kicking her to the curb! LOL! But she seems to like doing it ‘cuz when I picked her up Wednesday night (after a lovely chat with Jules – mwah!) she jumped in the car and asked “What are we listening to tonight Mom?!” And it wasn’t in that 13 year old sarcastic tone! So I’m getting excited about us doing this one together.

And Miss Patty! Excited for you and hope all is well. BTW, I bit the bullet and threw Boodge’s stink bomb Calgary Flames hat in the wash (used one of those hat thingys) and it came out stink free and clean!!! He really loves that hat and sez it’s his good luck charm and helped him get on the Rep team, so I’m glad it was saved! The “C” is actually white….who knew! It’s been gray for so long.

Have a GREAT WEEKEND Everyone! Hope its busy and adventurous or slow and relaxing, whatever you’re wishing it to be.

Chat Later!
