Tower of fun!
Sam had a blast yesterday when he 'stole' the new pack of toilet tissue from the grocery bags......he ripped it open and then spent ages having so much fun with the rolls...building towers and knocking them down and kicking the rolls around!
Oh crappy day!
Everyone here is over-tired and cranky......I can see it is going to be one of those days....I have a really upset stomach and I don't know why...I still don't feel completely better from those two migraines last week.....I had 7 migraines while we were away......5 went away with Imitrex but two didn't...and I am not supposed to use Imitrex more than twice a month really so it was not good...I put it down to change of routine and the humidity...........
I didn't sleep well last night and then Abigail didn't help as she woke up from bad dreams in the middle of the night and refused to go back to bed and would only go downstairs and watch tv and then kept coming up and waking us up.......then Sam woke up and came in and it had taken me forever to get to sleep in the first place......
This morning I feel so tired and crappy....
The children are tired from their first three days at school.....Chris was at Millennium place all day yesterday....so he is also tired from that and has cancelled his date with his friend at the mall today...
Susie and Laurie are cleaning out the rabbits....and spending time with them - Chris is on Charlie duty today - spending time with her in her new pen and feeding her etc etc.....since we returned from holiday she has refused to stick with her house training and use her tray.......and I can't have pig pee and poo everywhere so Lloyd built her a pen in the workshop until Spring.....so she moved out last night.....I have my mud room back! I will miss Charlie but I can't have a house smelling of pee and poo! She was doing so well before we left and was using her tray etc and only going in one place but not any more.....
So the UK got snow...you can read about how a little snow closes down an entire country at:

It's so funny when I think about what we deal with for months on end here in AB.....I hope my Nephew Isaac got some snow to play in......Louise did Yeovil get snow?
OMG I cannot believe how tired I am.....so so tired....

Home......
Another song I love.....and another cd I listen to frequently in the car...I bought it for Lloyd but we both adore Michael Bubles songs....
how to watch the music videos...
I guess I should say (for those of you who don't use the computer much!) that to watch the videos I've been adding, just click the arrow in the middle of the 'screen' and turn your speakers on :)
My all time favourite song.......
And THIS is my all time favourite song......it reminds me of so many things....so many times with Lloyd....and especially of our time in Scotland.
Edwin Mccains 'I could not ask for more' close your eyes and listen to the words......ignore the video they put with this song.... ;)
I really do have all I've waited for...and I really could not ask for more! This song just sums that up :)
When will I be famous....
Bros....Matt Goss.....I was soooo in love with him! I wrote literally a NOVEL about how we met and fell in love...it was in diary form and so funny and my friends would constantly ask to read the updates lol!
I saw them in concert and threw a rose and my knickers at the stage.......too funny! I had Bros EVERYTHING and even wore the bottle caps on my shoes and had shoes with clocks on them too.....my bedroom walls were COVERED in Matts picture :)
The very very sad thing is though...that I still like the music :( I am BLUSHING with embarrassment! And I still remember all the words....
This is not one of their best songs.....
Time to pack.....
I have to pack away all the homeschool supplies......box them up or throw them away...I have folders and folders of 'ideas', crafts, activities, games, projects and unit studies.......I'm not sure whether to throw them away or hang on to them.......some I can use with Abigail in the next year or so and some I can send into school with the kids.....some I can give away to homeschoolers......I have items from Parents Place to return too......an excuse to drop by the drop-in group when its up and running again!
Now thats something I'd like to do - organize the homeschool group - get it more active.....regulars from a little further afield maybe.......I know on the days I did organize activities, we always got a much bigger turn-out......and I have so many ideas......and it would be so much easier with my own children in school atm.....
Hmmmmmm Cheryl.....I should contact you.
I have to take pics of my curriculum too and sell them on Ebay....I have unused sets of Math U See to sell.....and a few other things.....
And things like our Anne of Green Gables unit study...well I can still do that with Susannah in the summer months......maybe we'll get to PEI for the anniversary after all.
I guess for now I will box everything up and store it all in the workshop.....my magazines I will hang on to as they are full of wonderful ideas for weekends and holidays anyway........like the frog in the jar of ants ;)

Upgrading
Every morning Lloyd leaves a cup of coffee by my bed for when I wake up..for the last few years I've been using my Tim Hortons chunky thermal mug and that did an ok job of keeping my coffee hot until about 10am...although I as it was a smallish mug it was normally empty by 8:30am.....
While on holiday I spotted this gorgeous thermal mug at the Rainforest Cafe...its huge and it works brilliantly.....it keeps the coffee hot until about 12:30pm which is a good thing as it holds a LOT of coffee....so I now have coffee already made for me that lasts ALL morning :) Lloyd says it takes a whole kettle of water to make the coffee for it :)
I took some pictures of it with my old Timmies mug and also beside an 'average' sized mug so you can see how big it is......its not as big as the Timmies 'bucket' but its still big :)
Disney mugs
These are the mugs Lloyd and I bought on holiday......Mine is Eeyore and Lloyds is Tigger......and the Grumpy mug is for my weekend coffee :)

Boogers
Do you think boogers/ bogies are like snowflakes? Do you think every single one is different? Or do you think you could get two the same?
This was the subject on my mind last night................
Lloyd says I don't have enough stress in my life ;)
