topless at the computer!

So its Tuesday evening.......Lloyd is sat beside me on his laptop doing his company accounts.....topless!!!! Which is really weird because he NEVER goes topless!!! I guess it must be a little warm in here lol! Sam is sat on the floor beside us with his playdoh......Abigail is playing with the balloon thing she got at the farmers market last week and Chris is in the cool of the basement probably on the computer.......this afternoon I sat in a cold bath with Sam while he played with some cups and spoons...it was a great way to cool off......then Abby did the same.....I've been having cold baths every evening before bed while it's been hot......really helps cool you down for sleep!

I want to rave about another blog - this girl is a real inspiration where physical fitness is concerned. I so admire her!!! Please visit her blog!

Dinner tonight was wholewheat pasta with Italian sausage in a tomatoe and pepper sauce. We had it was a salad and some crunchy bread.......the kids had neopolitan ice cream sandwiches for dessert ...I've never liked neopolitan ice cream.

The picnic is packed for tomorrows day out....I just need to gather together the hats, sunscreen...towels.....water guns.......what else?????

procrastination

Those darn radio ads were nagging at me this morning in the truck...........so I finally did it!!! I got online and completed the 2006 census. Over a month past the closing date but at least its done :)

no words

A lady I know is hurting a lot right now. I don't know her well so its very difficult to say anything that can help. I've been where she is right now. I hope because of that she can see that life goes on.......that she will get through this and life will be good again....better!!!! It was hard to see her so upset.....but I know it won't be long before anger takes the place of those tears and often its that anger that fuels you and gets you back out there enjoying life and seeing that there is a future....different to the one you had planned but more often than not - much improved.

I hope she knows she is in my thoughts.

31c

It's 31c......and the thunderstorm warnings are getting closer.....Edson now...so hopefully this evening we will have a big storm.

Chris is at work today at the museum. We dropped him at 8:45 and then I took the other 4 to McD's to play for an hour. I love their coffee.

After that we spent the morning at the weekly homeschool group. It was lovely and breezy there and not too hot at that time. Perfect. L had brought sponges so we filled buckets with cold water and spent the morning out on the field with the children playing games like drip drip drop and other games I don't remember the name of! Sam and I sat with a big tub of water and played and splashed and soaked our feet and we basically all sat outside and chatted. I was soaked but soon dried off thanks to the warm breeze. The kids had great fun and each got 2 freezies too.........

L got invited to B's Pirate party but I'm not sure we will be in town for it which is a shame......they have to dress up and take water guns and swords etc etc.

Tomorrow we are meeting everyone at the splashpark.....there seem to be a LOT of families going this time which is wonderful! I am hoping Lloyd can work from home tomorrow and have Sam for me.....it may be a little too hot for him tomorrow....its like an end of school year celebration for the homeschoolers - making the most of the park before the schools close tomorrow!! We'll be there a lot more through the summer I'm sure but it will be much busier when the schools are out!

OMG Lloyd just called with some VERY exciting news. OMG Please tell me he isn't joking!!! OMG!!!!
