B.F.F.

My Best Friend is having surgery today and she is heavy on my mind. She is the most amazing person I know! She supports me, she inspires me! She is my rock. I have known her for just shy of 20 years and we have shared many life experiences together. She is an incredible woman.

Thinking of you,

Prayers for you,

All my Daisy Love to you Chloe.

Fresh Air For All

Oh, how I do enjoy Saturdays! This is the day where we make a point of doing something as a family! It is usually always the same ~ out into the fresh air! We all LOVE it! Andrew, Debbie, Ambrose, Maisie and ROCKY!! I think Rocky enjoys it the most, to tell you the truth!

(Rocky is our, poor neglected since the kids came, dog) The kids just LOVE being outside too! (I guess most do!?) It is such a delight to see the smiles on their faces as they run around exploring and soaking up all this new environment has to offer! Happy Saturday!

A brighter day

Here is my family room 90% of the day! Yes, I do pick up 4-5 times throughout the day...... I am not sure why I bother? I think it makes me feel better for the 5 minutes I can see the floor or something??!

OH! There was a bright spot in the sky this morning - still couldn't see the sun, but it was much much brighter and a few small patches of blue. I could see the blanket of fog over the water rolling towards the shore so I packed up the kids in lightning speed and headed out for a walk! We managed to nearly finish our walk before the thick fog engulf us! :-D We had fun!

Yes, the vacuum is nice........... a little different so I think it will just be a matter of getting used to the features. It has a HEADLIGHT for crying out loud! Do YOU vacuum in the dark? heh heh heh No, really is just has "features" I am not used too!! Pretty fancy machine!!

Just another day...

I am getting tired of winter now. I don't mean to complain, that is not my intent, but I am just bored with the rain, storms, snow, cold, FOG and just plain dreariness! If only we had the odd day of sunshine in the mix I think I would feel a whole lot better!! All that sunshine Vancouver had a week ago............... I saw no SUN! FOG - FOG and More FOG!!! Blahhhh!! I think really I am just feeling a little "cabin fever"! I am trying to get out for a walk here and there, but I just feel so unmotivated by the weather! I also signed the kids up for a kinder-gym type program at the community centre which is great, but it is at such a bad time of day for them (when they should be going down for a nap) that I have only made it there 2x in the last 5 weeks, I think! Next time I will sign up early so I can get the early class!! There is also another cool program in our community which is completely free! - a "strong start" program I think it is called. I went to it by myself with the kids once and ended up leaving after an hour as it was just too much for me and the kids couldn't benefit from the activities because I was constantly pulling them away from what they were doing so I could have them in the same area at the same time! I need someone to come with me. And unfortunately we don't have family here. I would need someone who didn't have children, physically fit enough to chase and pick up and carry a toddler - so no bad back, knees or hips, someone who doesn't have a job and is available once or twice a week for a few hours. How do I find someone like this? It can't be a young person - they go to school or have jobs? And they can't be too old.................. ? Hmmmmmm. I know the kids are only 15 months old and I have lots of time to be going to programs and such, but I would like to do a little bit right now just for the socialization aspect if nothing else. Oh, well just sharing what I have been thinking this last month.

Oh, but some exiting news! I have a new vacuum cleaner! I know, I know! I am crazy for being so excited about a VACUUM, but ............... I am!! I am going to use it today for the 1st time! I will let you know how I like it. hee hee hee
