....but the highways were lovely and clear :) I love living in a Country that knows how to deal with snow :)
It was -17 today and the wind was nasty for getting the kids in and out of the truck.....the only place that was nice was by the Pharmacy....(I love my pharmacy by the way - the guy there is just so nice and friendly and always uses my name when he greets me)! Anyway, the building sheltered the car there and it was nice :)
We went to Parentlink this morning......I wasn't really in the mood and neither were the kids, I finally got Abigail to go off and do something on her own and then Sam hit a little boy with one of those boomwacker things or whatever they are called lol...those plastic tubes you hit together to make noise......it could have gone either way as they were chasing each other with them at the time lol and luckily his mom totally understood :)
Spent the morning chatting with Samantha and Sandy and the other Moms, drinking coffee and doing crafts etc with the kids....one of the Moms was telling me about the chocolates she eats every night that have your daily recommended calcium in them....so she's bringing us one each next week :)
I got my Avon from Samantha and she also gave me a big box of books and items for preschool that she doesn't need any more! She introduced me to Sherry too - another preschool teacher.
After parentlink we went to the mall and had lunch and then I ran to the pharmacy to get a new supply of my meds......then home and we drove around the countryside for a while filling in time before the kids bus arrived - they are always so happy to have a ride home in bad weather :)
Came home and had coffee and watched Oprahs show which had Mitch Albom on it....he is one of my favourite all time authors! They were discussing For One More Day.
If you could spend one more day with someone from your past who has died, who would you spend it with and what would you do?
Then she had on the widow of the author of the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff books...I won quite a few of those books.....It was heartbreaking to listen to this wife who misses her husband sooooo much and to listen to the letter he wrote to her a few years before his death. It was a very emotional show and I spent much of it crying!
I bought the winter issue of Canadian Scrapbooker today and my Scrappers Haven friend Glenda has several layouts in it - it was so fun flicking through to find her layouts in the magazine. Her style and her writing is so unique and I find her pages and ideas so inspiring!
Lloyd will be late home this afternoon (well, late for him - 6pm) as he has a meeting with Andy, our builder. I could have been there but didn't see the point....Lloyd just had a few questions and wants to get him in touch with the guy from the sound system place as he wants the speakers and sound system for the theatre room put into the walls.....its all beyond me so I will leave it to the guys ;)
Tonight I have a letter to write to the little girl we sponsor in Peru....then I want to start reading Eat, Pray, Love :) I didn't get to read it last night as I wrote 4 letters in bed instead! We are delaying date night because Lloyd has a cold and I think he could do with an early night and staying home in the warm instead of going out into a -26 windchill!
Tomorrow - breakfast with friends :)
