Well, it was Connor's 13th b'day on Friday. Hard to believe. We had 5 games of hockey this weekend and a dance recital too. Here is how our weekend unfolded. I am working 7-3 on Fri, and have to drive Jeff's truck (aka: bucket of bolts) to work. Jeff takes Connor to the city for his game in the morning. After the game Connor spends the day with Bradley from his team in Halifax, and Jeff drives home and stops in Kentville to switch vehicles with me.I get off work at three and head into the city for Connor's game at 6. Jeff takes Sarah to dance class from 4-5, then chores. Connor and I head home after his game. Sat morning Sarah, Connor and I head to the city for a game at 1. Game is late starting and Connor's friend Brad gets hurt, has to go to IWK to have wrist xrayed, don't think it is broken bad sprain but will have to have it re-xrayed later in week. Connor takes a bad hit from behind and goes into boards head first, mom has a fit in the stands and yells at ref, could not help it, he is okay and back on for next shift. Connor finally gets a goal, hard to do as a defenceman, we all scream like crazy people, but they lose their third game in a row. Game done at 315, have to be in Wolfville for dance at 5. Connor was supposed to stay with Brad again, but he is at IWK, Hunter's family says he can go with them, great, we all go check in to hotel, Sarah gets ready for dance recital, we head to Wolfville and get there at 510. Dance recital cost $12 to get in, won't let you video your kids dance (cause Jeff can't go), he is driving in for Connor's next game at 640, cause I don't like him there without one of us in case he gets hurt as this checking thing is really out of control. So, they will let you order a dvd of the entire show for only $30 &*&#$$#@$ dollars. Please I know how much dvd's cost. Want a program, no problem they will sell you one for only $3. The kids are supposed to stay right till the end of the 3-4 hour show, (this is only 1/2 the show there was one in the afternoon) but I told Sarah we would leave right after her second dance as we had to go back to the city, cause Connor would be in the hotel room alone. I loved Sarah's dances, she did modern this year and did a great job. Would have been nice if I had taken a pic of her but who has time for that. Get back to city at 930, Connor not back yet as their game was late starting, ordered pizza for all for supper and it came just after he got back from another loss. Eat, shower, all in bed by 1100. Game on Sun at 930, Jeff drives up again, lose again, go to Dartmouth crossing for lunch, spend $80 at Montana's for lunch, not sure what the hell we ate for that but will never go there again, go to golf town to return a golf club, Michael's, and the shoe factory, head home. Get home at 4, call Sara to go pick up Connor's b'day cake as the family is coming for 7pm to celebrate the poor kids birthday from Fri. Cake is amazing, Connor did not want to cut it, but his cousins did. Cake not looking so good now. Today, I feel like I ma
y actually have stepped of the roller coaster except we have something again every night this week. But, when I stop and think that in 2 years Sarah will be on her way to university and in 5 years Connor will be, I think the weekend was not so bad
