Hockey bags stink!!!! They have their own special kind of stink. If you leave one in the garage as to avoid the stink in your house, your garage will be unlivable.
Got William to hockey practice, and I am trying to help him dress. So much protective gear, you could throw them down the stairs and they would not get hurt. I have no idea what I am doing and the coach kept giving me pointers. Goalies have way more gear than the others. Which means two stinky bags.
So, As I am dressing this child, I tell him he reeks. The clothes are damp, from the sweaty gear and the whole thing needs a good air out. Then his response is, "Now you are acting like a Grandma." So, I learned you don't tell Hockey players they stink. Not just William the whole dang crew!
But then again, I hugged every one of my dancers after class. Those sweaty bodies never bothered me. I guess my nose has gotten better from retirement.
Dan and Sissie here last night for dinner of porkchops. It was very good. Sissie is making cookies today and I asked her to make a double batch, so I would only have to do the pumpkin cookies. Win, Win. We went through my inside small freezer attached to fridge and I still have 3 more bags of dates, and 5 more bags of dried cranberries, and two more large bags of dried blueberries. I can make scones forever. Every batch I make uses another container up and I can see a small difference, I think.
My right eye flared again last night, so painful. I have steroid drops on hand and used them immediately, but it takes a good 24 hours to get the pain under control. Slept at Sissies and had to get up at midnight and make an ice pack for eye and take pain killers. But this morning all pain is gone, and I will use drops for two weeks. I am happy with this regime and not having to run into specialist every time. Just one more aggravation of having an autoimmune disorder. Now what about the brain disorder? No comments please, I get enough from the Sissie.
I have a lot to do on this wedding dress and I need to get busy. Off I go! Seam ripper in hand!

I'm so glad the pain in your eye is all gone now.
ReplyDeleteIt is really painful. From someone that has pain somewhere every dang day, when I have to get up and take a pain killer you know it is seriuos.
DeleteI wish I lived near you & your Sissy - you two would be a real hoot to hang with! Glad she's there for you now, Kim - nothing better than the person who knows you best to walk beside you in your grief. Hope you have a productive day!
ReplyDeleteWe are fun and we would love to be with you!
DeleteI'd live there but y'all have no HS specialists. 8-((
ReplyDeleteWe need to find one check out Spokane Washington, or Boise Idaho both drivable in a day! Move here!
DeleteYes, yes move here, I will try and find one. We will drive and laugh the whole dang way!
DeleteI am definitely giggling. Just wait until he is older. Our oldest Kurt played on a team that were not allowed to wash their gear and man teenagers smell. One day as they walked out to the ice past us my eyes started to water and out came "Oh my lord, you guys stink!!" Couldn't was the equipment as they were on a winning streak from the beginning of the season.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
And the smell.. I mean it is bad. But I do love the sport.
DeleteSports kids are stinky! FACT! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteYEs, yes they are.
DeleteI've dealt with football and basketball gear but hockey had a place all of its own in the smell department. I hope I'm forgiven for my snottiness yesterday. You're very fortunate and so is your family to have you all taking care of each other. Green eyed monster comes out. I need to run away I think, or be out on a needed time out.
ReplyDeleteSam, we are fortunate, and you were not snotty, there are days I feel the same way about the Grands. Our Mother was no help for my sisters, and so Sissy goes overboard due to the serious lack from our mother. I do understand but am childless so maybe I don't.
DeleteI did not take is as snotty, I took it as grief, and wanting grandchildren and that is okay. I am here for you through thick and thin, in fact we both are, and I can get very envious of others that I think have no problems. Human nature is a bitch. I love you and don't you ever forget it and will go to the mat for you under any circumstances.
DeleteIt's not just hockey players that have stinky stuff! I was riding in my neighbors car and finally asked her what the smell was. She laughed and said, "baseball gear. You get use to it". Yuck!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I remember when I was coaching and every August back to the locker room and the smell hit you on the face when you walked in, nothing could get rid of it.
DeleteSissy, all Boy's stink. remember our brothers?
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but I loved them anyway. Especially that stinky youngest one.
DeleteFrom my point of view, boys stink more than girls! I asked Tommy if he noticed stink in locker rooms. He said, NO. He was in ROTC in hs, so never went to locker rooms.
ReplyDeleteI finally got my son to bath peaceably when I told him teachers could smell his stinky head. He had very thick hair and was a sweaty little kid. After that, he washed his hair every night without an argument. One day, I came into the house and he had his head in the bathroom sink early in the afternoon. I asked him why he was washing his hair. He said, "It stinks." I never had to tell him to wash his hair again.
That stinky little kid sweat head smell. You actually miss it when they grow up.
DeleteI had kids who played baseball, basketball, wrestled, soccer, and tennis. All of their bags smelled to high heaven. It just comes with the territory.
ReplyDeleteDance bags are awful too. But hockey is special!
DeleteThe soccer cleats are what kill me. Nick's have to be kept far out of the way, because the smell will stop you in your tracks. We keep Febreeze everywhere. (Hawaii Planner)
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes my dance sneakers were kept outside. So bad!!!!
