Mother's Day and Rain

Greetings everyone! Busy week once again with more fun and excitement coming within the next few weeks as well. Penguins got knocked out of the NHL playoffs, which totally sucks so I literally have no horse in the race at this point. Don't care who wins, just as long as it isn't the stupid Capitals. Chelsea played Huddersfield on Wed and just couldn't snag the much-needed win. Bollocks. 1-1 draw. Mia played with Noelle on Wed for about an hour or so, which is always enjoyable. Throughout the week, we had way too much rain, in fact it was enough rain to spring a leak in our sub pump. I was going to play drums one day and noticed some water by my kit. NOT good. After a lot of investigation, I discovered the leak and where it was exactly coming from. With some sealer tape, I fixed it. YAY! Drum kit safe for now.

Friday I was stoked to get to pick up the diva during yet another day of rain. I took the day off to go to the Milwaukee Torrent match against Grand Rapids FC. The cold temps and rain certainly kept the fans away. Maybe 25 fans+ joined us in the stands. The Flood looked strong with about 10 guys pounding buckets and cowbells. The last time GR came to Hart Park, we blew a 2-0 lead and drew them. We didn't get any goals and neither did these jerks. I say jerks, because they were getting way with a ton throughout the match including hammering on our trusty and tough keeper Auggie. He took a beating and the refs just weren't calling anything. We held a 0-0 draw, which was fair. I still can't believe Auggie survived the match. Today, the Torrent played Columbus and picked up another draw 2-2. Friday's match was a rainy but frustrating game, but we made the most of it.

Saturday, Mia had dance class with the other class. Picked her up later, she had lunch and went back for photos at the studio where Jill was snapping pictures of all the kids. Mia looked adorable in her outfits and I'm looking forward to seeing her recital. Cecilia is joining us as well, which Mia is super excited about. She got through the pictures and we spent a few hours chilling at home. I had a handful of Torrent graphics to do as she played some games. Jill came home later and we drove to the in-laws for BBQ chicken and pie/strawberry shortcake. Uncle Tommy was around too so we got to catch up with him. He's stoked that he bought a condo. Looking forward to seeing it in June.

After yet another storm, we drove home. Mia passed out quickly and I had to get her butt in the house in the pouring rain. Never fun. She woke up quickly, but changed into jammies and crawled into her new bed. Jill and I stayed up till 2:00am working on various things. Today, she woke up at 6:00am and poked at me "Daddy, we have to get the Cheerios for Mommy!!" I asked what time is it and she goes 6:30am...Nope, it was 6:03am...WAY too early. So we made her breakfast and since we all agreed that it was too early for us to stay awake, we went back to sleep for another hour. We got up, met at the Peach Tree for some lousy service from the hostess for breakfast with my parents and after went back home to relax before I went to work. Mia gave both grandmas books, and painted flower pots with flowers planted in them. Great job Mia :) I missed Chelsea's final game against Newcastle which was totally fine since they blew it and lost 0-3. Sums up our general season. Europa league here we come. FA Cup final against Man U still so there's hope.

This week, I have to pick up some art supplies for the class I'm teaching on Wed at Mia's school. We'll be drawing Emoji's so it should be fun. I signed up Mia for soccer in the Fall today so I hope her cleats still fit. hoping for better weather this week. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
