Im leaving!

Yup on my way out the door! Im so excited...hehehe! See you tonight Debbie! Had to stop for one last post! I got packed! YAY! See you all soon!

One Day!!

Ok Im excited!!! Tomorrow morning I leave to go see my sis,Debbie at Goat Creek. Now if that excitement would just lead to motivation I might actually get my suitcase packed to go!! I am the worlds worse packer. I take too many clothes always and I know this but I will do it again anyways! Its a beautiful sunny day here and I did go outside for a bit since I ditched work to get ready...ooopsss hope no one I know reads that! So far I have at least got the clothes washed and dried...now if I could just manage to get organised and pack them. Yup thats my big empty suitcase. So far I have pj's and a pair of jeans and a t shirt. Wow thats not much for 10 days! LOL!

I guess I better get back to my packing. Harley as you can see is enjoying the sun coming in to the bedroom. This is his favorite spot to sleep in the afternoon.

I dont know when I will post again but I am sure Deb and I will find time to log in and update! See you tomorrow Sis! See everyone else...soon!! Have a great week and a fun Memorial Day Weekend!

Disco Inferno!

My son played Jumping Jack Flash in the school musical this past week....Disco Inferno. We werent supposed to take pics as the school has to purchase the rights to use the script. Well....someone sneaked in a few and this is one of him(not a good one) during an acting scene. He had the lead role and had to sing alot. Surprisingly he did very well. I am hoping I get some pics sent to me of him singing and when I do I will post them. Aidan does sing and plays the guitar but rarely for us to hear. So seeing him in that element seemed so out of character. I was the proud momma as many parents,friends and teachers approached me after the show to tell me how well he had done. Perhaps I will have a singing superstar on my hands in the future! Canadian Idol??? hehe!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since the musical has basically consumed our household the past few weeks I havent posted much. I have worked extra to have the time off to visit Debbie. Im so excited!! I bought a new suitcase so I had room to take some secret treats and of course to bring home any yard sale finds I absolutely have to buy!! Monday is a holiday here so I only have tuesday and wednesday to work and then I am on my way! I cant believe it is so close. Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Happy Mothers day

Tomorrow is mothers day and I just wanted to wish all you moms a happy and peaceful day! I have been working so much this past week that I have sooo neglected everything. I did manage to get outside for a bit this morning but then had to work an extra shift from 1-5 today. Tomorrow I hope will be a quiet day at home. My one and only son is the lead in his school musical and he is in rehersals all day. I will post pics when we go next week! This is a pic of the three of us when Dave and I got married 9 years ago this August. he looks so little...lol!

I wont get to see my mom tomorrow but I did see her earlier in the week when I was up her way working. She went with me for the day and we went to some craft shops and thrift stores on the way! I love spending time with her. Love you mom!!Here is a pic of me,my mom and sister taken probably about 3 years ago now. Wow....time to do another one!Have a great day everyone and I hope to get some pics of our ongoing projects posted this week!

Just one small thing to say.....

I BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET!!! Im going to Missouri to see my Sis,Debbie, at goat greek!!! YAY I cant wait!! We are gonna have so much fun! WOOHOO!!

Its Official!!!!

I am the proud owner of..... A PASSPORT!!! Yes folks I can now travel again which means I get to visit Debbie! Make my bed sis Im coming to see you! In Canada we have not had to have a passport if we were driving across the border to the US. But due to alot of changes we now have to have one as of the first of June. So thats my good news for the day!

Its a beautiful spring day here and Im planning to go outside! There are lots of leaves to rake now that its drying up in the yard. Dave gets to finally take the winter tires off my car. So it will be a clean up kind of day. Hope everyone has a great sunny day!

Lots to do!!

Well my husband finished his first year of school yesterday and starts his work term Monday. He is taking his Internet technology Degree.... you see...he lost his job a little over a year ago and couldnt get another one. Even though he had been an IT manager with close to 20 years experience he didnt have that little piece of paper he needed to say he was able to do the job..UGH! So Congrats Dave on one year down! One more year of school for him and financial tightness for us! Other than that...things are about to get going around my house. Since he is done school I am going to pile some projects on him. Last year we tore off our back porch and replaced it. Well almost! It still needs steps off the back end and some railings which will be getting done ASAP.Here are a few pics of that project. This is when we got everything tore off....only to find a very rotten sill plate that had to be replaced all along that side of the house. No wonder it was drafty and the door was uneven!
New Sill plate in.... and a start of tearing off the old cracked siding. Eventually we will take it all off and go back to the wood shingles.This is as far as they got last fall;no railings and temporary steps. but at least I had a way to get in my back door. Hopefully in the next couple weeks it will be finished so my flowers wont get ruined as they come up!!Sometimes I think we will always be in transition...but I do love my big old house! Have a happy Thursday everyone!
