Karrie's Box of Thoughts

This week marks the official start of the 9 months known as “It’s all about the kids”.
School, Meems dance – She’s taking 4 classes again and at some point performance/competition team will start too, and Boodge’s hockey – Squirt Rep tryouts were all this weekend, guess we’ll see where he ends up this week. Also the Hubby’s hockey starts up again this week too. Let the fun begin.

I don’t complain, why bother. And the martyr moments to come just get added to the stock pile of brownie points earned by Moi that keeps everyone’s mouth shut when Mom announces she’s headin’ off somewhere. Which I will be soon, and they aren’t sayin’ a word!! Hehe.

Weekend was spent with all of us going in different directions. Well, I went in one direction and the rest of the fam. went in another. Friday was spent buying B-day gifts for friends and family. Just me wondering around picking up things here and there at the mall., *sigh*. Saturday was Boodge’s squirt rep tryouts and then they were off to the grandparents for a B-day party. But I had already committed to another B-day party for a friend and couldn’t make it. Guess who had more fun?!

Sunday had me up at the crack of dawn for try-outs again. Since I missed Saturday, I said I’d be there Sunday. Stupid after the night before, but there are some more of those martyr points! I did find that I can pick up the Strawberry Margarita mix (w/Jose Cuervo already in it) at the local liquor store. This, I think, will come in mighty handy in the future! I mean, all I need is a glass and some ice and most hotels have that, right?!

Kids broke free for the afternoon and headed off to their corners. Em in front of the computer and Glenn off to Dede’s house to play with her 10 year old terror. I guess Dede had to chase them out of a tree, for which Glenn will be getting an earful. He’s already broken his arm and he’s not going to like sitting out the hockey season with a cast! Hubby and I completing blew the afternoon watching old movies! Ok, one was a classic old movie – Fred Astaire in “The Band Wagon” and the other was a classic – Elvis in “Spin Out!” Now Hubby clued me in that this was the movie the cult classic cartoon “Speed Racer” was partially based on and so it was fun to watch together picking out the similarities and laughing our asses off making smart-ass remarks (we do that…..A LOT!)

Kids and Hubby then headed back to the ice rink again for the Washington Totems (the high schoolers, not by beloved T-Birds!)season opener. Yes!! Sunday afternoon hockey and the afternoon to myself is BACK!! And that’s a VERY NICE way to end the weekend!!

Chat later!
