An Interesting Friday...

   Today I really didn't know what to write about so I had not planned on posting anything. However, my day ended up being something to write about.
  Today I did NOT have to clean my house!! I was very excited. You see, a couple of days ago I got a call from a lady that I know. She's starting her own cleaning business and needed some people to use as references. In return, she would come spend 3 hours cleaning my house! What a treat! It was wonderful, especially after being busy all week.
   Then I put my son down for a nap and a little while later he starts calling for me. So, I go in there and not only has he filled his diaper, he's taken it off and there's poop all over! What a sight! It's all over his bed, his crib, even in his hair! What a crazy guy! So, off to the bath with him and now mommy gets to clean up. I guess that's my payback for not having to do any cleaning this morning. He really doesn't care though cause he LOVES the bath. He loves it so much he gets in fully dressed!



So that was part of my exciting afternoon. After his bath was over, Arielle had woke up from her nap and we went to the book fair. I love the book fair. There's thousands of different books, the prices are cheap, and it goes to a great cause! Everyone wins! All the proceeds from the fair this weekend went to the local hospital.  Arielle had a really great time. Her and I could spend hours looking through books to find ones we like. Gabriel, however, was not in the mood. So, we quickly found some books and went and finished our shopping. I'm hoping to be able to go back tomorrow and look for more. I'm also going to see if I can find some to send to my sponsor boys. I'm going to look for some that have more pictures than words. That way they can still enjoy the book even if they can't read English. If you are planning on sending books to your sponsor children, just make sure that they are thin and staple bound. There are many customs restrictions (and thefts) and if the book is too big and bulky it prob won't get sent.
   
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

God Bless!

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...

‘Fun Days’ of Summer

   This week were supposed to get really nice weather again, so I probably wont post much. This past weekend we had ‘Fun Days’ in my town. There was all kinds of things to keep you busy. Friday evening was community slo-pitch, and a wiener roast after. Saturday was a free pancake breakfast, a slo-pitch tournament all day, bouncers for the kids, face painting, petting zoo, a flea market, a silent auction, evening entertainment, and so much more. It was a busy place to be! In the morning, we went as a family for breakfast and then my husband went to go help a friend of his, so it was just me and the kids. I took them to the ‘Fun Days’ for lunch and we stayed for a few hours. It was very hot, and they needed naps so we came home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Here are some pictures from our weekend: We ate a lot of freezies, and cotton candy, got our faces painted, and tried to find shade where ever we could! It was a really great day! I love summer festivals, ...
