Not this time

Well this one we did not win. We were in a hockey tournament in Baudette, Minnesota this weekend. We played on game Friday night (we lost 8-2), then we played a game Saturday morning (we won 13-1) and then another game Saturday night at 9 (we won 8-1). This put us in a best case scenario of winning Bronze. Well the kids tried - but no such luck. We lost 6-3. The kids were tired and it certainly didn't seem like their hearts were in it. But overall the weekend was a blast. This was the final hockey shindig of the year. The parents perhaps had a little too much to drink and not nearly enough sleep but we also had a great time.

Whew! I am glad it's over for at least another 6 months.

Then I was up at 3am this morning to get ready for work and take Cody to the airport. He is in Alberta with his grandparents this week. His flight left at 6:20 and he needed to be there 60-90 minutes before. Woohoo. As if I wasn't sleep deprived already. So we hunted down a McDonalds that was serving breakfast at 4:30am and grabbed a couple of hot chocolates from Tim Hortons and we got to the airport just in time. Then we sat around for 20 minutes or so until they started boarding. I have never left him at the airport, I have always just picked him up when he's come home. I had a tear in my eye as I left. He turned 13 yesterday - I guess he really is growing up. I can remember bringing him home from the hospital. :o(

OK - no more tears. I am at work and people will think I am crazy.
