I'm back ....

WOW I've really been MIA lately. I struggled all last week with major migraines. Then my birthday on Friday was a busy day. Ollie had practice that night so we didn't get to go out to dinner or anything special. I have to say one of my hockey mom friends stopped by practice (her son isn't moving up to this level for another year so we don't get to play together for a while) and brought me a gift and card. I was really touched, she's become such a good friend and I appreciate her so much.

We spent the weekend helping the guy who gives Ollie his glice lessons (glice is synthetic ice) and is the head of our Kodiak hockey. Gary's shop was flooded last week in the Nor'Easter. We spent time there this weekend helping him get the shop back together. Everything had to come out so that the floors could be taken up. Even the glice had to come up because the wood underneath warped. New flooring went in, the glice was put back down and we got everything pretty much restocked in the store. It was a lot of work, but there were good families helping, good times and laughter had by all. It felt so good to help out and get Gary back up and running. He's done so much for these kids and I'm especially thankful for all he's done for Ollie.

Sooo that's were I was all weekend. Zipping up Shades of Summer Bright and Shades of Summer Light to submit to the stores. Hoping to have them at least at TSG by tomorrow so there's plenty of time on the sale left. The boys are taking me to dinner tonight for my birthday since we just haven't been able to go. Not sure where we're heading, but we'll enjoy it as a family no matter what. I love my boys!
