As competitive as we moms are, we are just as, if not more cooperative. And I love that.
Sunday night I was in the throes of dealing with uber-sick Kitten. This child has taken "The Plague" to another level this time around and it's been a little scary and a whole lot exhausting to say the least. But I was invited to a show a Bryant Lake Bowl by a radio station I had never heard of before and needing to get out, my mom demanded to baby-sit (she does that a lot). So off this single mom and I went. She is one of my best friends, but because we are both single moms we rarely get to see each other.
Her daughter also plays hockey and Cub wants to play hockey. So now Cub has a hockey mentor and a connection for hockey gear, because anyone who pays even a little bit of attention to hockey knows how expensive it is. So both of our daughters are crazy excited to get to skate together. I was also given an overview to the world of hockey moms and what my experience would most likely be as single hockey mom.
It was a great time on Sunday night we are even planning on trying to go to Boston together in the fall. It's always fun to share those experiences especially when we're single moms!

But Kitten is still sick. She has an ear infection. This is her second one this year and by this year I mean since the beginning of 2009. The last time I had an ear infection, well, I was too young to remember. There is a ton I don't know about ear infections and I don't know what Kitten is feeling and what I can do to make her feel better.
Thankfully, I know the Queen of Ear Infections (yes, that is a proper title). Kellyn over at Fritz Facts has had a ton to deal with and so I knew she would know exactly what to do. And I was able to help Kitten out a bit more. She has been crying for the past few mornings, but this morning she wasn't so uncomfortable she was screaming. Yeah, she slept till ten and is more bouncy than she has been (by more bouncy, I mean aided by the bed she refuses to leave today).
Now I just have to get over whatever tertiary illness Kitten was kind enough to pass along by Friday, because we are going to Chicago this weekend!!!! Woohoo!
I am the Queen! Woohoo!! Finally, something I am good at...don't know if that is really a good thing...
I am glad this morning was a better one. Ears suck...plain and simple.
