After the doom and gloom...

Looking back on the last few posts, it appears like there was too much raging and lecturing; so switching gears here...

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!
