Tired

I was so proud of myself today, I was the only one in our family to get up early and exercise. Today was a day that we decided we were all going to stay home and sleep in. Well Kailey has a ringette tournament this weekend, so she had to stay home anyways. Braden had an upset stomach so with out too much hesitation we decided to keep him home too. It was wonderful, I firmly believe that it is important to teach your children that it's ok sometimes to break the rules and defy what society seems to think is right. We are so programmed due to our parents generation which were mostly factory workers, that our lives need to be a 9am to 5pm day. Never to skip work or school because there are consequences to those actions. You know, they are right, and under most circumstances we do follow those rules. I hope to give my children a message in life that..life is too short, slow down once in awhile and enjoy it. Take a day off, walk around Chapters, enjoy a Vente Chai Latte from Starbucks and eat chinese food in bed. Even though we all stayed home, it was still a crazy busy day. We are hosting the Cambridge tournament which means we have to help out with timekeeping, scorekeeping and convening. I also had to host another get together at my house for a light lunch in between games, it was nice the girls are always welcome here. Today's games were not good, not even worth discussing. It was too bad and very disappointing because the girls could have done so much better. I guess when there is one step forward it is always followed with two steps back. I hope they do better tomorrow, it would be nice to come off the ice with a win. Work hard ladies, you each have it in you to accomplish anything if you set your mind to it! I am proud of you...thanks for being a great group of girls!!
