Day 1 of our crazy hockey weekend is over! This morning started with a home game at 11 a.m. Not so bad. LM bitched and bitched about his equipment. My shin pad is scratching me, my jock is to loose and doesn't feel right. Not a total surprise since he hasn't worn any of it since before Christmas, he's been in his goalie equipment since. Anyways, off to the ice we go. What a great game they had. I can't express enough what a great bunch of kids we have. Lots of passing and encouragment from teammates makes for a great day. LM ended up with 4 goals. When I asked him if he wanted to be a skater instead, he quickly told me "No."
Tomorrow, tournament. I try to do as much as I can for the tournament given that most of the other Mom's have full-time jobs. This year I did the raffle tickets, ordered the min-sticks instead of the medals, helped finish the pick-a-player, organized the donation of juice and made the tournament brochure. Now to get through the day without a clitch. Of course there will be something, there always is, as long as it isn't to serious. There are raffle and 50/50 tickets to sell, DH has to do some timekeeping and most importantly, keeping these kids going for a very long day. As I type (7:47 p.m.) mine are both in bed. They'll be out of bed just after 6 tomorrow. YIKES. When we got home this afternoon I made 48 mini-muffins for snacking between games and just cut up enough fruit to choke a horse.
I keep reminding myself that these are the things that kept me here. I had a horrible weekend of second guessing the decision we made to stay and then going to school Monday, my two fitness classes and an outing with friends and hockey, I realized that not everything is bad. Eliminating the bad makes life better so if something is right, still, time for some more tweaking.
Speaking of hockey. I just realized that I have to miss one of my kettlebell classes :( LM has a hockey game which means DH is coaching which means there is no one to watch LP unless I get a babysitter AND I can't miss watching LM play. Oh well. I've done enough of it that I'll just work out that afternoon by myself and hopefully I don't miss any new exercises. Mental note to self, remind your Monday night partner to find another ride, lol.
Off to bed (7:53 p.m.). Its gonna be a long, fun day tomorrow.
