Thanks for stopping by. I have been running around like crazy between school stuff, sports, etc. My S5 turns 6 on Friday and I just put together the relative gathering tonight for it. I am doing a garage sale from 9-5 on Friday, having company for dinner, the sale again on Sat, then D9's hockey game, then making a crocodile cake, then on Sunday doing party for 6 or 7 little boys (Crocodile Hunter - hence the homemade cake - last year I made a jeep for the same theme)
So you wonder why I love my new high-speed internet? I can come on here, say hi to you and get back to whatever I was doing!
Yes Cathy, my D9 is playing spring hockey. It got her another 13 hours on the ice, 1 practice and 12 games. It is a 10 and Under Girls team which has been so fun to watch since she played co-ed during the winter on the Advanced Mites. She was playing forward, but asked the coach if she could try defense and really likes it. We'll see where she ends up. She has the size for D, but needs to work on her speed and skating backwards.
She has two games left this weekend and two next weekend then she is done. But she and my son have their first ball game on Tuesday and have been practicing on M & W the past two weeks.
Anyway, I can't believe it - but tonight my H drove to his cousin's (30 miles away) to pick up the table she had of ours so I could use it for the garage sale! Then he spent a few hours in the garage clearing off the shelves so I can use them for the sale? Go figure!
The neighbors stopped up to drop off some stuff and he sat and chatted with them - who is this man in my H's body?
But seriously, I really appreciate his help and tell him that often. He really is here in body and spirit so much more these days. I too think it is just a matter of time before he comes home. But I don't say a word to him about it and just let him know I appreciate him.
This weekend I had originally planned the b-day party for the family on Sat night after the hockey game, but forgot it was the fishing opener in the neighboring state and he always goes. So I called my folks and MIL and rearranged it. He said he'd stay home but I told him no, that I had unintentionally made the error and I would fix it. So it will work out for everyone. And luckily the folks were available to switch - whew!
Well ladies, I still have work to do on this garage sale now that the kids are asleep - so I'd better go. I'm beat too!
Thanks as always for your kindness and support. It means more to me than I can say!
