Wish me luck please! And say a few extra prayers if you can!<BR>Tomorrow is the day I must go to the scene of the crime. I get to look at all those places that coincide with the receipts I sorted through over and over for his business books. They are all burned in my mind and tomorrow I face the demons for the first time. All in one lump.<BR>I'm a little tentative to say the least. Doing a lot of deep breathing. in between sips of my vodka. I'll be sober tomorrow but - the anticipation is the worst.<BR>Just had to get it out. No one here to share this with.

wassy,<P>Is this the ballgame day?? If so, did you make the t-shirt?????? <P>Roll Me Away<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Hockey Game day. Remember I'm in the great white North! <BR>Son was suspended from last night's game. My goon (smallest guy on the team) got in a fight the game before. Mom taught him all the moves you know.<BR>I have a T-shirt that may help me. I bought it with her in mind. Shortly after the incident where H snuck off to help her get her truck fixed. I MADE H buy it for me. It says:<BR>"Bite me Chev Girl. Real Women Drive Fords"<BR>guess which one of us drives which.

HI Wassi, you are going to be fine. Just fine!!! Do not take any weapons in your purse either.<BR>Stay focused on the game, on the things in the rink!!!

WS,<P>I'm praying, but I'm also ROFLMBFBO over the shirt, somehow I get the feeling you don't dive a chevy.<P>Go get em WS, and tell son good luck for me.<P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>

I know you'll be fine, Wassi. My stars, woman, look at all you've handled so far. Hey, if nothing else, just find something and have it on hand to burn when you get home!<P>Thinking about you and sending tons of support your way.<P>Lori

Go, girl!!!!!!! <P>I drive the jeep wrangler 4x4 and OW drives a subaru. Wonder what kind of t-shirt I could get made??? Probably nothing as cute as yours!!!!LOL!!!!<P>Keep sipping, but not so much that you aren't 100% clear-headed tomorrow. You won't want to miss a thing!!<P>I went to an Atlanta Thrashers game a few weeks back with some friends - my first hockey game and it was AWESOME!!!! Best part was the fights - although I am docile, I've got a taste for blood, I guess. My Dad was a Golden Gloves State Champion boxer during college - all 4 years! Guess I inherited a fighting spirit!<P>Can't wait to get all the juicy details!<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Wassi-<BR>I think that you need to face the fact that you are the strongest ford driving woman around, and I think you'll handle this just fine. Your the winner, remember that!<BR>Hey, while your at it have some of that vodka for me, will you? God Bless!<P>------------------<BR>Chick's <BR>Bren<P>You won't see things until your ready to not be blind!<P>

Thank you all for the support.<BR>I am sipping slowly.<P>cl<BR>If i told you what I keep in my purse You wouldn't believe it. I am a REAL hockey mom. Screwdrivers, screws (for helmets). Tylenol, ibuprofin, tums (for concussions on kids and the tums are if I get a little stressed).<BR>I'm sure some of it classifies as weapons but there is a good excuse for everything.<P>Deb<BR>You remember some of my other T-shirts?<BR>"I suffer from PMS - Putting up with Men's S**t."<BR>I'm just a walking attitude!<P>Lori<BR>I never thought of bonfires in public.<BR>I'm nervous. It's true. I don't want those things to be real. But....I guess they'll be mine after tomorrow if I'm tough enough.<P>Desiree<BR>I know they make those shirts with the jeep part but who really drives a subaru? Nobody important.<BR>My dear you would love being a hockey mom. My son has the size of Theo Fleury and the temperment too. Not the skill but the other two are great to watch.<P>chick's<BR>I'm having one very slowly for you then it's time for a bath. I wish i was as strong as I want to be.<BR>I finally brought the subject of the trip up to H and he thought maybe I would just send son with someone else. Yeah Right! Like that bimbo is going to stop me from watching my kid.

wassy,<P>Off the topic, but when I was in Vancouver I saw something on TV - ladies dressed in plaid skirts and running and throwing/sliding this metal ball-thing down the ice to get it in the ring and knock the opponents ball-things out of the rings (kinda like marbles). What the heck is that???<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Desiree<BR>Are you teasing me? Did they have brooms?<BR>Seriously - they were curling.<BR>I've had to explain this before to someone and I don't know it you guys are teasing or not.<BR>I used to curl all the time when I was young. Those rocks are heavy! <BR>

Leave the really big screwdrivers at home. <BR>YOu are going to be superb, magnificent, wonderful. Hope the boys win too.

Yeah, that was it! I keep wondering what it was and I could never remember. H and I were in a pub and enjoying ourselves very much- Canadians like to have a good time! We shot some pool and then had drinks and food in front of a big screen TV and curling was on. I was truly amazed -had never seen or heard of it before! I actually thought it was a joke or something...didn't know it was a northern sport. Some locals were telling us it is even played in some border US states.<P>I'll bet you were really good at curling, wassy. Your competitive streak shows!!! <P>Good luck tomorrow - in every way!<P>Desiree <P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

to the top!!<BR>BIG DAY, sending lots of love, energy, prayers your way WS.<BR>You are going to be wonderful!!!!!!!!<BR>

Thanks cl and everyone. I think I'm ready.<BR>Nightmares last night but that is to be expected. H totally avoided the subject of the trip but I don't blame him. There is nothing he can do.<BR> I did tell him to give me plenty of money for antique shopping. He said "You're going antique shopping without me?" You can probably guess what was on the tip of my tongue but....I just smiled and said yes.<BR>cl maybe you should go diving without H. <P>Desiree<BR>The states have national curling teams so I just really thought it was common there too.<BR>I had a lot of fun doing it but never took it too seriously. Mostly just laughed a lot and met new people.

wassy,<P>Let us know how it went today!<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Are you coming back the Victor?<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

Desiree<BR>I leave in about 1/2 hour. Won't be home till late but I will let you know.<BR>I decided against the t-shirt and went for the "She's way too young to have a kid on this team" look. <BR>The bimbo is at least 3 years older than me and looks way older than that.<P>FHL<BR>I am coming home the victor. I am going there the victor! Just like you!<BR>Yesterday went well for you? you had your victory party/snuggle?

Wassi,<P>I have been praying for you and am hoping things go real well.<P>I was in a similar situation last week while we were on our snow board vacation and I didn't fair to well.<P>With my daughter in the physciatric hospital I haven't had time to post the details of that week.<P>Please let us all know how it went. I will try and get on tomorrow night to see how it did go.<P>FYI I wrote probably a 16 page letter to OW. If I get the energy to type it out and send it to you via e-mail I will. I have not sent it yet.<P>On the lighter side I hope your child does really well with the hockey.<P>Sending much love your way.<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<P>
