This is a video of my son playing some ice hockey with the 'lil Scots.. a wonderful hockey program in the bonney eagle school system. it takes ages (I believe) 4-11 and teaches them how to enjoy ice hockey and the basic skills needed.. the younger kids start out on buckets and are fun to watch.. Shane has been with the program since he was about 3, India has been with it as well since she was about 3.. Some of the volunteers play on the high school hockey team and they are all wonderful with the children.. India actually was able to get on the ice her last couple of days. she had the dubious honor of being the first accident in 10 years, she's proud (not joking).... Shane doesn't want to leave the program but he's getting close to that age, next year he can play on the BE team.
another weekend
Ever feel like weekends are WAAAAY to short... Last weekend my darling Husband had to work pretty much all weekend, which burnt him out. This week has been hell.. I guess it has been awhile.. India, my youngest, at the beginning of hockey (ice) fell on the ice literally 5 min. into practice, she fractured her wrist, that was 3 weeks ago. On monday of this last week my Oldest (Sage, 16) came home from her field hockey game saying she thinks she broke her thumb.. So she went to see our Dr. Harvey at Bowdoin Med. Group (kick ass doc), he agreed and set up an appt for xrays the next day (by this time it was 7ish at night).. The next day I took her for xrays, they came back negative. That didn't satisfy our doc so he set up an appt for a specialist. So now it's wednesday and were on our way to see the orthopedic specialist. It's not broken she has a UCL sprain (?) the muscle between her pointing finger and thumb. basically her pinching mucsle. So she's in a gauntlet cast to hold her thumb imobile and it sounds like she'll have physical therapy after. If she doesn't do PT she could lose her grip strength and the mucsle not heal correctly.. Oh isn't life wonderful..
On Thursday we toured Bowdoin College in Brunswich Maine... BEAUTIFUL campus, should be for the price. My daughter whose just turning 17 and should be a JR. decided to graduate a year early, Miss smarty pants ;).. I go from being so proud and happy for her to being so bumbed because my oldest is leaving a year before she's suppose to.. how much does that suck... We still have at least 2 more school tours Bates in Lewiston, ME and boston university.. She wants to be a doctor.
Friday was Sage last field hockey game of her high school career, doc gave her clearance to play.. they tied 2 -2, but i believe bonny eagle made the playoffs.
It was a LONG week. It's been a LONG few weeks.. between sports, sports injuries, college and school stuff, I'm ready for vacation. This doesn't even tackle the fact that I have craft shows coming and am SSSOOO NOT ready!!!! So my question is partially to any other mothers out there reading my blog, is there such thing as a vacation for a mom????

A Saturday
We went to Buxton Community Days. It was pretty cool, the first time we'd ever gone. I enjoy small community fairs like that, less confusion than the big state type fairs. Not to mention it seems as though its more neighbor, community based, more intimate. they had rides so the kids each got a few rides leaving shane and Ty (shanes friend) nauseous. India was fine.. I think it was the combination of french fries, fast rides and humidity.. (although I'll take the humidity over rain..) After the Buxton Days, we went swimming and that seemed to help the kids. The cool water countered the humidity and affects of it.. It was a nice and relaxing day I think.. I was in bed and exhausted by ten that night though.. unfortunately with being to bed so early, I've now been up since 2 am... and that part sucks.. It's now after 6 and I should attempt to sleep but I'm still not tired.. We wound up having a bbq with our good friends sue and sonny, and that was fun I just wish I had been more awake for it.. We had hotdogs for the kids and shichkabobs for us along with fruit salad (yummy yummy), potatoe salad and corn on the cob.. It was a wonderful feast.
RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
I want SUN!
sorry had to throw a little temper tantrum about it.. We actually did have a nice day yesterday and we had a yard sale trying to save some money for our minnesota trip.. It'll be wonderful to see my family (soap operas and all).. The kids are all done with school in 5.5 days.. there stoked and can't wait to be done.. neither can i unless it continues to rain and then i want them in school so that I won't be annoyed and miserable with bored children.. LOL..
