If We Were Having Tea…#22

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I think Mother Nature has lost her mind. Its been above 0 all week and its been warm enough that I can open the windows during the day. Except for this morning woke up to it being -8 (felt like -15 with the windchill).

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we had a much quieter week this past week with only one practice and no games.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we only played two games in regionals as we lost our 2nd game. It was due to poor reffing once again. Michael was also on the receiving end of another illegal body check. Yes mama bear was mad. Here in Quebec there is no contact at this level but it seems like leagues don’t respect that rule. Someone is going to get seriously hurt.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that today we start our last tournament of the season and the one good thing about it is its a home turf tournament so the refs are pretty much in our favor which will be nice for the kids because they are expressing their frustrations over refs not being fair and I don’t blame them. I think when it comes to refs they should be brought in from other leagues to make things fair especially in play offs and regionals.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael has decided that he was to play another round of hockey in the spring but its 3 vs 3. It goes from April 4th to the end of June. I know I am a little tired but at least I have no responsibilites apart from getting him to the arena they are doing this at. He has asked to play so I won’t say no.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that in a matter of 18 days Michael will be an official teenager. He will be turning 13. Its hard to believe at how fast the time is going.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week. I hope you have a good week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I think Spring is finally coming. The weather all last week was above +1 and the snow is melting at an incredible rate. YEA!

If we were having tea… I would tell you that for a few days last week my little visitor returned to the tree in front of the house. We think he has been hiding under the shed but with the snow melting its flooding in the back so he is looking for a place to sleep.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael had his first play off game yesterday and we lost badly 5-1. So tomorrow is do or die for them.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that this week is going to be busy with hockey, parent teacher interviews and hanging out with my friend, Jennifer and sister this week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this week I need to do some baking as I found a really good cookie recipe that I would like to make for Easter.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this week I need to start shopping for Easter. Are you ready for Easter? What do you do? What do you make?

If we were having tea… I would tell you that spring is over and things return to normal tomorrow with back to school etc.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael is discovering how hard it is to work with partners for a class project. There is one kid in the group who won’t do anything but his own share and  is making it nearly impossible for the boys to get together to record the project.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that we are doing some updating in the house. Hoping to paint this summer. But for now its simple things like updating curtains/blinds and bedding etc..

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was nice being on Spring break last week was it was a good week with no rushing about.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that later today we will be playing our last game of the season. Its hard to believe that our regular season is over. Go Knights Go!

If we were having tea… I would tell you our team has made it to regionals. This is the first time in about two years that Michael’s team has made it that far. Hopefully we can advance farther then two games in that.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we went bed shopping this weekend to get a new bed frame for Michael because it was something I had when I moved into my apartment 18 years ago. So it was time to upgrade him to his own.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that we had some really weird weather this week. It was cold at the beginning of the week and then we got freezing rain then rain mixed with mild temps and it made a mess of things.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am excited that Fuller House is finally on Netflix and I watched the first episode and really like.

If we were having tea… I would tell you our team has made it to regionals. This is the first time in about two years that Michael’s team has made it that far. Hopefully we can advance farther then two games in that.

If we were having tea… I would tell you we are currently in the process of getting Michael’s room completely set up to a teenager room. Its hard to believe in two months he will be 13.

If we were having tea... I would tell you its starting to warm up a little bit as its been really cold this month. Its almost a month till spring if I am correct.

If we were having tea… I would tell you I just discovered Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments on Netflix and I am really enjoying it and I think I need to dig out my books and read them.

If we were having tea… I would tell you we are looking forward to spring break at the end of the month although it will be busy because we plan on getting the basement finished during that time. Fingers crossed!

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week. I hope you have a good week.

If we were having tea… I would I wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day and offer you some yummy chocolates.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am actually writing this late Saturday night because we have to get up really early tomorrow morning to be at the arena  because we finally have a full ice time slot so we plan on doing a parents vs kids game.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that right after the fun game we are going to go to MacDonalds for breakfast with the kids.

If we were having tea... I would ask you if you have any plans for today? We plan on going out for lunch to celebrate instead of tonight when I am sure it will be a little busier.

 

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael got his report card and he made academic honor roll again. Super proud of him.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we wrapped up the tournament last Sunday and the team came in 2nd place and the kids all got a medal and we have a banner to hang in our arena.

2ndplace

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was another hockey week for us. A game Tuesday night (tied it), a game yesterday (lost by one point) and then this morning we lost. We are now on a break until after Valentine’s day.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I finally organized my kitchen the way I wanted it to be for quite some time.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I think in the month of February I am going to do a complete clean of the pantry. I heard about a no buy that certain youtubers I follow are doing. Where basically you buy the essentials in groceries but the focus is using what you already have on had to use up what you have.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I think I need to do some baking today or this week. We have cut back on the numerous prepackaged goodies we buy because everything is getting so expensive. My plan is to make some freezer cookies so when it comes time and we need them I can just take it out to defrost and bake. Do you do that?

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I think our team in on the way to regionals. We are at 39 points. We have four more regular season games to play but it can go either way. Fingers crossed.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week. I hope you have a good week.
