I can't believe I forgot to mention that Hans started
playing Hockey this Fall/Winter! At the beginning, the idea was a nightmare for
me. Hans is preparing for his crazy
audition and Craigley adds another task to his list of things to do in a week -
a game every Saturday and practice every other Sunday! What?! Was Craigley
trying to sabotage my efforts as well as Hans' to get into The CW?!
My parents felt like it was war zone in our home.
Momley vs Craigley. The Arts vs Hockey. They dropped by one day and left rather
quickly as Craigley started talking Hockey and I got sarcastic! The
grandparents rightfully felt that their poor grandchild was being pulled in 2
directions by 2 parents who aren't on the same page.
Thank God for grandparents!
Craigley and I had a face off and we decided to go
forward with Hockey and see how it affects Hans' schedule. As of now, it has
been 2 months. It hasn't really affected Hans' schedule; but it has totally
affected mine! I am the one who is waking up at an unholy hour and getting Hans
ready for a 7 am game on a Saturday or a 7 am practice on Sunday. I am also
making sure Craigley is awake and caffeinated enough to perform his head coach
duties. How did this come about?!
I may never play Hockey or even understand the game,
but I believe I am on my way to being called a "Hockey Mom"! And I
may actually enjoy that title...after all
the protesting on my part. As Craigley's signature states and I'd like to
restate here, “Hockey, the greatest game on earth and I am Canadian!" It
used to sound like a beer commercial before; now I understand!
Go Hans Go!
