Is it bedtime yet?

It's been a long day. A great day but long! And I trekked up Everest this afternoon....at least it FELT like I'd trekked up Everest......actually I just walked around our acreage with CHristie...trying to follow in her footsteps but mainly sinking through the deep snow up to my thighs......

I have photos to add...tomorrow

I have lots to blog about date night and my day and just stuff really but I am tired and I ache and I just want to go to bed now :)

Tomorrow I am helping at preschool for the morning and then home to make meatballs which I plan to have for dinner tomorrow night in a tomato sauce I think...so I will blog about today tomorrow when I have time!

Goodnight!

open minds...............

Maybe I am just very open minded...maybe too open minded at times but I read this story about a brother and sister who didn't meet until their 20's and then fell in love and I think.....who is it harming? They 'were' a happy family with 4 children.....who sadly have now been taken into care.....

I just don't understand who this is harming...yes its odd..yes it's an alternative lifestyle but who cares? Why do the authorities have to stick their noses into a happy relationship between two consenting adults when neither is at risk?

Do they think the couple are going to abuse their kids because of this? I don't....

Surely there are enough kids in care already without taking innocent happy healthy children away from loving parents like this?

I remember a soap in the UK called Brookside and they covered a storyline like this where two adult siblings fell in love and moved in together.......I was much younger then and yet still didn't really see the problem with it....

Yes of course incest between parent/ child is wrong......incest between minors is wrong...incest where it is not between two equally happy and consenting adults...

But in this situation especially, where the individuals didn't even meet until their 20's......well I just don't see the issue.

Surely there are bigger issues the authorities could be concerning themselves with.

Oh...

I just had a depressing thought..........you know what these warm temperatures and melting snow mean don't you? Soon I will have to face a winters-worth of dog poo......Sping Clean up in Alberta means cleaning your yard of 6 months of dog poo because it gets buried and hidden in the snow and welds itself to the snow to the point you can't pick it up.......

And two golden retrievers = LOTS of dog poo.

Fun fun fun and yes its ALWAYS my job...mainly because I am the only person who would do it properly and its a job that HAS to be done properly :(

Hump Day.....

Actually it isn't JUST Hump day...its probably......'kiss the first strange person you meet day' or something equally as weird.......Any time you need to know what day it really is, hop on over to Cheerios Babble's blog because she always seems to know that kind of useless information :) And No Cheerios you are NOT # 31 either :) lol...in fact I find the discussion of lint fascinating (excuse me while I stifle a yawn lol)

So yes it's Wednesday.......and I think I am ill....seriously ill because its 10:30am and today I have already spring cleaned Samuels bedroom, washed all the windows at the front of the house (yay for temps above freezing it means I can finally get all that dog snot off my windows!!!! Peeps back home you have to realise that over here its really difficult to wash your windows in the winter because the water freezes as soon as it touches the glass and I can't use antifreeze because the dogs lick the glass......so all winter long my windows are yucky...today they are CLEAN but it won't last because the snow is melting and the dogs are mucky and they jump up at the windows but for 5 minutes at least I have sparkly windows yay!)

OMG I just spent 5 minutes of my life discussing cleaning windows.....Hhhmmmmm maybe I am #31!!!

I have also cleaned out the cutlery drawer, sorted 3 baskets of laundry, made toast for the kids, and tidied the junk bowls in the kitchen......

What is wrong with me???? Is there a cure for this springcleaning frenzy-disease?????

Christie is coming over this afternoon (OMG I just can NOT get rid of that girl lol) and so is Val!!! Val has never met Christie before but knows her (isn't the internet weird like that?)

You know I keep having to look and admire my windows :)

Tonight I have two options - I can go to a Partylite party - a Mom from preschool, OR it's date night and Lloyd and I can escape for a few hours by ourselves......his suggestion is a tour of Home Depot to get ideas for his birthday...normally I would say NO but I'd quite like some more empty paint cans and at least he seems to be forgetting the idea of a pet tarantula!

Oh and my computer is starting to smell like burning..it started yesterday and this morning I had to switch it off because it was really bad...I put it back on to see if Christie had emailed me and it doesn't seem too bad at the moment thankfully...but if you don't hear from me for a while you know why - its because my pc died and I have to wait to use Lloyds laptop when he gets home!

Have a great day everyone!
