This was my second hockey game yesterday... The guys spent more time beating each other with fists than with skating... Four Renegades players got ejected... The goalie HIT A FEMALE FAN on the way out of the game... it was dirty... and the Alabama boys loved it.

I teared up at the national anthem unlit the girl singing it forgot the lines... :) We sang the end for her... and we had a moment of silence for the four girls who died in the school bus crash earlier this week.

I passed a house with a huge welcome home sign... I stopped by and talked to the family.. their son who has been in Iraq for a year made it home for Thanksgiving. (I cried at that too!)

I am off to work... which I am praying will be okay-- even though I know it will be crazy- today and tomorrow are the hardest days then there's only three weeks left of Christmas madness....
