This week was Jon's birthday and to celebrate we all went to a hockey game. Jon is from Wisconsin and is a huge, huge hockey fan. So is Brandy and now their whole family. Mimi who knows nothing about hockey was having fun rock'in out to songs such as "We will, we will rock you..." and "Born To Be Wild" (which I think may be her theme song). Then when the crowd got quiet, I explained to her how the game is played and since she played soccer last year, she caught on quickly. Our team was the Seattle Thunderbirds. So every other word out of Mimi's mouth was "Go T-Birds!!!" or a "Yo Baby!!!" Brandy just looked at her in astonishment. Hmmm... maybe Mimi got that from listening to me yelling at the Mariners games? Or maybe dad cheering for the UW football team? Can't say which but I think it's me since that's the way I talk.
Wasn't quite sure whether or not we would make the game. After practice and while changing in the bathroom, Mimi had a bloody nose. Since the weather has been cold, the heat is on. At home I has the humidifiers on so the air does not get too dry but at the gym it was very warm. Usually at home I have Mimi take the Q-tip and apply a smidgen of Vaseline to the inside of her nose to keep it lubricated but sometimes I forget to tell her. Then because of all the activities she did during the day, she fell asleep in the car on the way to the game. But then once we arrived at the game, we had time to kill so we stayed in the car and then she woke up on her own I must say.
Today we were all just exhausted.
