The Queen emailed us. I could see her tears in her response to our funny video. The kids are starting to miss her. Later on that night, she Skyped us. The kids were competing for the screen and a fight almost broke out as they talked to their mother. Luckily, mommy's internet connection was very good. Her video was choppy so she didn't see the war that was about to erupt. Or she was just so happy to see us, she just ignored it.
Our daughter is still sick and may be getting worse. She didn't want to get up this morning. When I finally woke her up, she covered her face in her blankets and exclaimed that she didn't sleep much. Oh, oh! I can't afford a sick kid staying home from school. With no fever, she went to school and had a good day otherwise.
Our son watched his second playoff hockey game. Wearing his Montreal Canadien jersey, he watched every move as if he were a scout, chomping on his popcorn and sipping on his beer. Don't worry mommy, it was the Root kind. His grandfather called to tease him when the opposing team scored. The teasing didn't phase him and he insisted that we call him back when his team scored. It's a lot of fun watching hockey with him. I have seen more complete games with my boy than I have otherwise watched in five years. We have real father/son moments when we sit down, watch some puck and drink some beer.
Dog got another kennel night. She started yapping immediately this time, but quickly calmed down when she realized that no one was coming to save her. Her saviour is 5000 miles away and she can't hear her.
