Valentine's Day Friday Favorite

The Weekend Report

While Husband and his buddies were off AGAIN this weekend catching fish like THESE... 

After practice on Saturday SIL L, Sky, the gals and I headed out on a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.... Get Minnie a new jacket and snow pants....

I am embarrassed to admit that my ice fishing/winter outdoor girl has been borrowing her sister's snow pants and her jacket is too small... course this is the same girl who wore size 11 boots that were at LEAST 2 sizes too small just so that she could get out on the ice but STILL.... My girl needs GEAR!!!!

We had "some" success with a jacket... the the one I REALLY wanted they didn't have but we got the next level down... and she's happy with the purchase.... plus it was 60% off. Hooray! No luck with snow pants though...bummer... we were able to try on a few pairs to get a sizing gage... but they are sold out EVERYWHERE.... BUMMER....

Sunday morning we woke up to a FOOT OF SNOW... and he could NOT have been happier

Gals and I cleaned up, hung out and started watching the Puppy Bowl... and you can see who ELSE was interested.... until it was time for.....

THAT was fast... Last Driver's Ed and they BOTH passed their written test with FLYING colors! They even did a kahoot as a review before the test and Minnie WON out of everyone in the class! :) Now she just needs her 10 hours of driving with the instructor and she'll be "Driving Miss Daisy".... 

Yikes! :)

All the Bball

With an impending storm headed our way it was ALL the basketball....

On Tuesday after Minnie had practice we had to head to San-fid to watch them play Gorham. The loser of that game is who we play first round of the playoffs. I made a quick appetizer of burrata for Miss B, Husband and I (and I packed some for Minnie) YUM!

I ran right over and snagged a quick pic so we could send it to our group chat :)

Fun watching her girl! #15

Boxing out like a boss! Unfortunately they lost so it looks like us vs. them next week...

On Wednesday they came to OUR house....

I loved this so much!!! 

HTED sent me the same pic from HER side of the bleachers

They both played great and it was fun to watch

This girl has NO IDEA what to do with an inside sport that is as BUCK WILD.... :)

So lucky to have this girl at a soccer game and then her sister at a bball game! She was FUN to sit with!!

The Weekend Report

 While Husband was in HER favorite place doing THIS....

She was doing THIS... She would MUCH rather have been north with her Dad and buddies....

Especially since she got the crap beat out of her...

It was a snowstorm when we left so she came home with me vs. riding the bus and I snagged them McD's on our way home....

On Saturday she had practice and got invited to go ice fishing (bless the LORD oh my soul) on Sunday... so we ran around getting bait and getting her ready.... Saturday night... no photographic evidence but JJ saved my life... quite literally... when I ran out of insulin and my Rx had "expired". You know... incase I was CURED of my T1D.... but he hooked me up and I have a stash now... #rookiemistake

She has learned from her Daddy.... 

Miss B woke us all up BRIGHT and early (5:30) Sunday AM so we could bring Minnie about 45 min away to the derby... she was the first one to show up out of her friend group and fished for about 2 hours with Bella's dad :) He loved it! Miss B and I swung into the bakery that is right there and snagged some donuts for she, Minnie and Husband. 

Miss B and I headed to SS and church and I caught this sweet moment during worship between MIL and Ruby...too cute!

Miss B and I snuck out a little early and had a little lunch date and did some shopping.

Meanwhile.... Minnie was having the time of her LIFE!

Only caught 1 fish and it wasn't even on HER trap but she didn't care... frozen water, fresh air, fishing and friends... filled her cup for sure! 

Minnie wanted to hang for the prizes and to hear if Bella's brother was going to win anything and I looked around at Redneck City Central and just giggled.... 

We came home and our GUY WAS HOME!! HOORAY!!!!

Now we get to do it all over again THIS weekend when he heads for NH!

The ONLY Fun-ish....

I did make it to watch my gals this week... 

Minnie took a punch to the face which resulted in a bloody nose but they packed it and she was right back out there! Tough cookie!

Miss B WON the 1/2 time foul shooting competition.... Gift card to a local garage. Great. Just what every 12 year old girl wants! :)

With Husband out of town... it's me and my co-pilot for late night practice pick ups....

Bring on the WEEKEND!

Down for the Count....

 On Friday I had a little tickle in my throat... no biggie... on Saturday I woke up and didn't feel GREAT but was up for a trip to NH with Husband... on Sunday I went to SS and church and couldn't WAIT to get home...

Monday I woke up and had NO idea how I was going to make it through the day... but I was up and off... by 11:30 Marisa and my RN were sending me home and I was very grateful... I got into my bed for 2 hours but could.not.sleep. I got up and got cozy and headed to watch Miss B in her LAST 7th grade bball game... it was a DOOZIE but didn't go how we hoped... bummer. 

I went right to bed in hopes that I would be all set for Tuesday.....no.such.luck.

I spent most of the day here...

and here...We don't use our jet-tub very often but I am SO GRATEFUL for it when we need it... 

I went to Minnie's game that night but literally just sat... 

On Wednesday I went back to work but in hindsight it was not a very good choice... I was BACK in my bed by 3:55 and got up only to get back in the tub and to eat the grilled cheese Husband made me... had a mini-meltdown and FINALLY fell asleep at 9:30....woke up Thursday KNOWING that I turned the corner... and recognizing that coming to work yesterday was not.my.finest.moment.

Being sick is not something I do often or WELL... but the 100% WORST of it is managing the dang blood sugars.... they were HORRIBLE... I wasn't eating barely ANYTHING and I was ripping through 40 units a day.... I usually go through about 28-35 WITH EATING all day everyday.... 

These are not numbers I enjoy....

Grateful for being on the mend....and A HUSBAND who took such good care of me

but WHEW that was ROUGH!
