I hope everyone that is a Mom, has a Mom, wants to be a Mom,
or is missing their Mom had a peaceful Mother’s Day.
I was not allowed to do the dishes and cooking was
off-limits. It was a day of sunshine,
sleet, hail, rain and snow. Crazy May
weather. It was also a day to spend time
at the rink as any self-respecting hockey mama would. Try-out schedules do not bend to Sunday
brunches or Mother’s Day dinners. I was
loved on with poems, flowers, crafts, and chocolates. Oh, and a massive bag of Chicago Mix from
Costco… unbelievably addictive deliciousness. Seriously - my jaw was sore from shoveling it
back.

We ended the day with more hockey – it is playoffs after
all.
And the CN Tower will dress up in Maple Leaf Blue again
tonight.

The past few weeks have been adjustment weeks. Mornings are starting earlier and the days
are getting longer. The adult children
have wrapped up their schooling for the year and have transitioned into work mode
with their co-op positions and summer jobs.
Hockey has finished and we’re in the midst of try-outs for next
season. Soccer assessments have been
done and the boys will be on the pitch soon.
For the first time in many years, there is no elementary or secondary
school graduation looming which has me feeling relieved, yet strangely envious
of all the prom-crazed Mommas I know.
I’ve been tweeting and taking photos, so I haven’t been completely
negligent in the memory keeping department, but it’s mid May and the last time
I posted anything here it the calendar still said April.
Stay tuned – I’ll be sharing our new found love
for all things quinoa soon. Who knew
those pearly little grains could be so awesome?
GO LEAFS GO! Oh great and powerful Hockey Gods, let them win Game 7, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm a prom-crazed Momma! My daughter goes on Friday :))
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Mother's Day. Thanks for linking up for WW!
Paula, that's so cool! Are you going to post photos? I still need to post pics of Jessica's grade 8 dance from last year, so I'm going to do a special post on her and catch up on her birthday, which is next month.
DeleteNext year it will be my boy going to prom, but in South Africa it's called matric. Google spell check doesn't even know it's a word. Hahaha! My brother went to one of the coolest proms ever at the Heidelberg Castle in Germany. My dad was in the JAG Corps and stationed there. I had mine in Virginia, so tame. Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos.
ReplyDeleteNote : WW at my blog in LIVE now, don't forget to link up.
Have a great day.
