My son is growing so fast… it is a miracle to watch. And I love it… however, he is also literally throwing my back into all sorts of hell. But I’m too busy being mom so I don’t go the chiropractor or the orthopedic masseuse like I should, or even always do the proper stretching exercises. Nope. Occasionally, I take a muscle relaxant and plot escape.
That’s about the whole of it.
Tonight we are going to the opening game of the Sharks. I like watching hockey live, and although I wouldn’t call myself a fanatic, I do know enough about the game to get irritated by the morons yelling insults who obviously don’t understand the rules. Plus, I’m not so stupid that I would give up free luxury box tickets from an esteemed benefactor. (cough cough)
So, even though the hockey arena is always chilly, and the seats aren’t that much better in a box than in the stands, and I’ll be worrying the entire time about how our son is doing because this will be the first babysitting trip coinciding with his night-time feeding and bed-time routine, even with all of that I am kind of looking forward to not being in the role of Jungle Gym Mom for three whole hours. I hope my back appreciates it. – the weirdgirl
I do miss the Rangers games in the Garden. Dinner, drinks, hockey, and Grezky. Sadly they were shit the last five or so years so it was not as much fun. Over here hockey is as popular as in Canada but the level of play is just not the same. But there is always alcohol…

Ohh, and good luck with the babysitting. The first few times are always a bit nervous. Since we don’t have family nearby we got a sitter coming every Friday so we can go out for some dinner and drinks. It’s a great idea a nd it keeps us sane (at least kind of)

Your boy will be just fine…amazing how parents worry about so much.
I’d worry more about druken hockey fans…it’s been a year without it, and I’m sure they’re chompin’ at the bit.
And why didn’t I get a call to come and watch MY boy while you and Keen Dad were out on the town? What….did you let “gramma” watch him? I’ll see if I can forgive you for that. LOL
AD – It was a fun game. We’ve been going since the Sharks first started (when they sucked) and they rock now. Some of the changes they’ve made (getting rid of the 2-line rule, etc.) really have improved the flow of the game.
Though I can’t believe they’ve banned fights in the last 5 minutes of the game… I mean, that’s part of the tradition of the game!!
Phoenix – thanks, I know a lot of it is just nerves. But he’s just entered into the stranger anxiety mode. Apparently, he was fine the first half hour and then realized we weren’t there and cried the rest of the time. Poor grammy!
Auntie – Sorry, my dear. It was a last minute deal. Next time we’ll take advantage of you for sure.
