I think my Mother-in-Law is an angel!

So- where do I start?? Well, first of all, she got us free tickets to go to Stars on Ice that was tonight. The seats were amazing. We were center ice and only 6 rows back. She offers to watch the kids so we can have a night alone...and then when I get home- the laundry I had in the laundry room was washed and folded. She even helped Andy get his homework done. I didnt even mention that to her-  I was just going to do it with him in the morning. She had him read the book and did the feed back that went along with the homework. I am speechless :) Not that it was any kind of repayment for the night she gave to us...I had to give her a big hug when she left our house...at 10:30 at night! She is so giving...ok...gush gush.... I just had a really great time thanks to her :)

So, I have decided that I cant go anywhere during some...ummm...certain weeks... Anything made me want to cry tonight. Before the show started we were eating Davanni's (Sorry Pizza-N-Pasta...you might have competition). I saw a little girl walking in with her family and she had a little bald head from I assume some sort of cancer and chemo. I started to cry but made myself stop because I realized there were about 10,000 people there and I didnt want to look like an idiot. Then as the skaters came out and started skating, I was just sitting there thinking about how beautiful what they were doing really was. It ws so cool. Maybe if you dont know me... I am in love with figure skating. Always have been. So this was the first time I saw a real show live. I went to one practice once, and have seen it on tv billions of times...but never anything like this. I was totally star struck. They did some really "emotional and moving" songs and then some really fun ones too. Those were my favorite :) But that made me get that, "Oh my god,my throat is getting choked up...get a grip you dumbass" feeling. And poor Jake... who is not really a figure skating fan in the least and wanted some duct tape to protect his hiney while we were there... seemed anything but thrilled to be around that many men producing estrogen. But hey, it was a night out together, right?? I am still giddy! But then, Michael Weiss came out wearing a shirt that was signed by all of the stars and gave it to some bitch sitting in the front row across the rink from us. I was mad- I wanted that damn shirt. It was mine- and he gave it to her :( I was totally bummed. She kept staring at it the rest of the show- I swear just to tease me and flaunt her luckiness. I felt like a kid- I could have cried. Ok...not really...but I was honest to god bummed about that. I thought I could have had a chance at it, being in the 6th row and all...but nope, not this time. I did get a shirt though- just had to pay for it with the deed to the house, no big deal. Atleast I walked out of there with a damn shirt- it wasnt signed and it didnt come of his back- but whatever- I guess. I told Jake it would have been fun to go with someone who loved it as much as I do- he said no one loves it as much as me. I felt like I could have been one of those crazies at a football game or something. I guess that wouldnt be the right behavior at an event like this, huh? I also had to behave myself since the tickets she got were from work and we were surrounded by her co workers. I couldnt embarrass the poor lady wtih my insane and crazy love of ice skating! I played it cool...but flipped out on the inside. I want to go again next year. Any takers? Anyone want to act like a little giggly girl with me? Some one who will scream at the guys when they go skating by winking at the audience with their shirt open. I think Jake was just worried they were winking at him- thats all. My poor husband was stiff and uncomfortable in his chair the whole time. Now... how am I supposed to go to sleep after something like this....
