Rink rats

Funny... I used to think it was Jeff's Guard schedule that screwed up our weekends. Well, one week after clearing that crimp, I was reminded of our new one: hockey concession stand duty. Four hours on a Saturday afternoon, tending watch in a tiny kitchen while trying not to think of the good I could do if I ever dedicated that much time to my own kitchen.

Sydney has been a trooper throughout. The portable DVD player helps.

Jeff deserves a lot of credit, too. He brought the kids down about an hour into my shift, then spent at least an hour and a half out on the ice with AJ.

I have one shift left to work, but it's not until early March. If these warm temperatures continue, I'm wondering if there will even be any ice left by that point.
