This internet speed is sucking!!!!!......can barely load this page.......maybe the satellite air waves are frozen due to wind chills!
Another wonderful relaxing evening at home-makes for nails done up for tomorrow-to match hair and uniform.
We had an interesting weekend!! Kyle stayed home with his wonderful cousin, Michelle, to chauffeur him about, while Del & i went along with Jaydes hockey team for his weekend road trip. And an adventure it turned out to be.....left at 745 on friday am, to meet the bus at 945. Bus showed up at 10 amidst a snow storm! Yes we quickly loaded hockey equipment, luggage, drinks, food, players and parents, and off we were!!!! No joke, but 10 miles down the road the bus hit the ditch!!! Yes, you read right! at probably 5 miles an hour!!! I guess visibility was a problem, especially for the 'well-experienced' driver! He calls dispatch for a tow truck and we sit and wait.....about 5-7 minutes later......the emergency rescue vehicles start pouring in!!! No kidding!!! So, I pulled out my camera and started taking pictures-too bad i can't post any due to that 'fast' high speed I'm experiencing!! Anyway, someone had called 911 and reported a bus on its side in the ditch, with multiple passengers! Multiple amblances, cop cars, and then the large EMS ambulance/rescue bus!!! And 1 tow truck. After quick discussions between the EMS guy in charge, and our team manager, it was decided that all people would be relocated to the EMS bus for assessment and triage, while the tow truck did his thing!! So off we went to the EMS bus, and the paramedics started doing their thing. Very efficient with their electonic entry system!! All 37 passengers/patients were entered into their system and then each parent/passenger signed off to refuse treatment, as all were fine. Then we waited in the bus while the tow truck pulled out the team bus. Alas....the EMS windows were covered up and I could not take pictures of this process. Anyway, evetually we were given the go ahead to head back to the original bus, once again on the road. We were informed we would be transferring to another bus, while the powers that be would decide whether our trip would continue or not. So, our 'Old' bus carried on down the road a couple miles and pulled into the city into a mall parking lot. Here we moved over into the new 'older' bus, with a different driver, uhmmmm, younger driver. -) And off we went down the road-between 60-70 ms/hr, until we made it to our destination at 3 am. The bus trip turned into a 15 hr ride!!! from 7 hrs...... I tell you that felt like a long time. The kids were supposed to be up at 6 am for breakfast and a game, which the manager informed the other team at 3 am, would not be happening. So, a 3 game weekend, turned into a 2 game weekend. Sunday's ride home went very well!!!! Only cold and sunshine-perfect for travelling!!! Certainly memorable!!!
That is my little story of the week-back to work tomorrow. And then vacation time off. yay!!! Hopefully will get this house cleaning up to par, and keep on top of end of season and play off hockey!!!
