Tree number one is done!
On my time off I decided it was time to get the first (out of three) trees up and decorated. It didn't turn out too bad. One down...three to go. Time to start my Christmas baking, I start taking orders tomorrow! :)

Quality Rink Time!
I got the call that Victoria has been promoted to the advanced group after only about a month. I am extremely proud and happy. This also means I get some quality rink time with some of my favorite rink mommas. I am actually looking forward to running all over the valley to whatever rink the schedule takes us, having a coffee and catching up with my girls. Come on weekend! I need my rink time lol.

Winter Wonderland?
The flurries turned into a little more than anyone expected. That will teach me to joke about needing snow tires...looks like I really did need them. Driving was horrible even though we didn't get a lot of snow because it was right around freezing and it kept going between snow and rain before committing to snow. When it did freeze it made a slushy, soupy, icy mess. It took me forever to get home last night and I live less than 10 minutes away..it took me about 45 minutes.

Video From The Rink
I'm sorry the quality on these totally suck. My camera is totally screwed. It wouldn't focus on anything but the stupid netting in front of me. She is number 27 and in the purple snow pants. She is in the front in the video. She still walks on her skates more than she glides but by the end of ice time she is gliding pretty much all the time. This video was from the first part of the ice time, since I became totally ticked off at my camera and threw it in the hockey/ringette bag.
This just hasn't been my weekend so far....
Mostly it is my own fault but that doesn't change the fact that it just isn't my weekend. I HAD plans for tonight ( well Saturday night...I guess it is after midnight so it is now Sunday.) but I cancelled them. Why? Well I cancelled them a while back when I was supposed to be having company. I was really excited since this person hadn't been home in forever. I guess I shouldn't have cancelled out until I knew the trip was a go. Needless to say the trip fell through and of course everyone else made new plans. I was really upset because I had been looking forward to the visit and I had been looking forward to the party and NEITHER ended up happening. But hey I didn't have to work so I figured the weekend would still be fine but things just didn't go my way. Not horrible or earth shattering but just enough to be annoying. I spent most of Friday at the rink. This morning I was at the rink again...freezing....the line was way too long at Tim Horton's so I didn't get a coffee, that made it seem even colder than it really was. Victoria was saying her throat was "dry" when she got off the ice but figured it was just because she was hot and tired out. We took my gram shopping, and had lunch with her. Victoria "seemed" fine. Later on in the afternoon D and I took her to the city to see the lighting of the Christmas lights and see the parade. That's when BOTH Victoria and I started feeling sick. Both of us tried to stick it out and have a good time but I know I certainly wasn't enjoying it. It was cold and rainy and we felt icky. Victoria's throat was really sore and she was complaining of a headache. I felt the same way. D brought us home but it was a really really long drive home. I got some Advil in Victoria and she seems to be feeling better. I still am not feeling great. I watched some hockey and wasn't impressed with the outcome. I hate shootouts. Let me just leave it at that.
I still have one day left in my weekend off, lets hope it gets better.

Another Good Night In Hockey For The B Boys!
The 6-1 win over Montreal last night proves that the B boys are back and in a BIG way. There was a comment I came across by Alexei Kovalev that made me laugh....however the writers at Ghosts of the Garden summed it up quite well...check it out.

I wore my poppy...
but with a minor modification. I took the stupid little pin out of the middle. You know the one that stabs you or your children every time you move. The one that doesn't hold the poppy on just causes you to bleed. Yeah so I just got rid of the stupid little pin and replaced it with a Canadian flag lapel pin (the kind that has a back so it doesn't stab you). I did this for Victoria's too. I think this is the first time my poppy has survived until November 11.
Victoria Lost her Tooth....Finally

There was a snow storm in my hall....
actually it's baby powder! Victoria decided that she wanted to put some baby powder on before school. She couldn't seem to get the top to turn so the powder would come out. She started to come down the hall to find me when the top came off and the ENTIRE bottle of baby powder ended up on/in the carpet. I think this happened since she was carrying the bottle upside down at the time. It looked like I had a pile of snow in the middle of my hall...All she could say was "UH OH!!" I figure she must have pulled on the cap and had it almost off. Of course it couldn't have come off in the bathroom on the tile floor...no it came off in the hall...over the carpet...This is NOT the first time this has happened. Victoria dumped the container of baby powder out when she was a toddler. At least it wasn't the whole bottle that time. Still this took me forever to clean up. On the plus side my hall smells like baby powder......

This is going to be a long day...
I was up all night...I got zero sleep...I have a migraine the size of this province. I am finding it hard to function. The migraine is so bad it is messing with my vision....I feel like I am moving even though I am standing/sitting still. I forgot but today I have to work until 11pm tonight....I need sleep. I want to take something for the headache since over the counter stuff isn't touching it BUT I can't because I can't take it and go to work.
Maybe I will try to drink a coffee even though the smell is making me sick....5 hours down...12.5 hours to go until I will be home...Sigh

Tonight I discovered.....
Chart cuts (paper cuts caused by cardboard medical charts...yes they are the worst type of paper cut you can get as far as I am concerned!!!) + Hospital Issued Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer = PAIN!!!!
I truly think this could be used as some sort of torture. My hands will never be the same again!

Duct tape can do anything....
See I am not the only one who thinks duct taping people up when the won't listen is a good idea.

This reminds me I need to get more duct tape lol

National Wear Your Jersey to School Day
Most Children Eat Their Halloween Candy.....
One really bad day....
Today was not a good day...no not because it was Monday...that didn't help but that wasn't the reason. Work was insane...nothing made it better. I got an email this morning that just upset me and I couldn't stop running the contents through my mind all day. It shouldn't have upset me but it did. I have been hypersensitive to everything. Because I was preoccupied it seemed I couldn't do anything right. I felt like a screw up, and today I was a screw up.
Seven years ago my pappy passed away. He had lung cancer and it is one of the hardest things I have ever had to watch. I never really got over it and I don't think I ever will.
In a previous post back in July I mentioned a friends failing health. I had a hard time dealing with it then and his decline was steady. Turns out he had a type of bone marrow cancer. This morning he lost the fight and passed away. I have no idea why I am having so many issues coming to terms with it. Perhaps it is because it was less than a year from diagnosis to now. Honestly I don't know.
I am also feeling incredibly guilty...today was my grandmothers 85Th birthday. I didn't get out to see her. I did get to call her but it isn't the same. I know she understood that I had to work and everything else was insane. Still I feel like I let her down. I let me down.
I am glad this day is over...well glad yesterday is over...I hope today is better.
