Priceless conversation of the day...

Me: Ry look at the spider on the ceiling..
Ry: Mom, you shoulda seen the bug in school...it had like 30 legs and they were all moving at once...it made me NAUSEOUS!

The Crazy Schedule...

Today I have updated by adding 3 slideshows to justify why it's been so long...Ryan recently made his first communion, which went rather smoothly, much to my surprise..the almost only glitch was just before Ry was to go up and read, he turned to me and said, "I'm not going up there and reading", to which my Exorcist head whipped around and said thru gritted teeth, quietly, "do you see these two rows of people for you? Well they came to see you read and you will do it"...at that point he muttered something unintelligble and went up and read proving once again, scenes from the exorcist really do work.
All in all, the boys are doing very well...marks closed this past Friday and just can't wait to see what the report cards show...It's been a juggle with 6 hockey teams between them, but so far ok..we're in between games at the moment, so I'm sure there is something productive that needs to be done here, so off I go....

First Day of School 2009

It's been a long time since I've updated, and I apologize. Things have been crazy. The kids are back in school, and hockey is in full swing. Unfortunately John's hockey season is still on hold at the moment since he broke his collarbone at the end of August. The ironic thing is he did not do it in hockey, but on a bike at an indoor bike/skateboard park in Rye, NH. I was not with him when it happened...I was getting ready to go for a nice quiet adult dinner, when lo and behold the phone rings, with daddy's cell phone number (I knew I shouldn't have answered it!, But I digress)...with 6 dreaded words..."we're on our way home now", followed by, John fell and he thinks he broke his collar bone...the selfish side of me blurted out immediately "Are you kidding me?????" as I could hear the wailing through the phone..a long ride home, followed by a quick trip to local ER, and yep, collarbone is broken, though fortunately not all the way through. We're more than half way through recovery with another xray scheduled on Oct 20 followed by another visit with the sports med ortho...lets hope for good news. He's getting frustrated with only being allowed to skate, but no contact. He's the one with the big yellow vest on the ice that just screams "don't hit me"...you can imagine how he feels about THAT!
