Esso....
This is the Esso garage where I go for breakfast each week to meet Val and sometimes Christie.......it doesn't look much but its great food, nice and clean and really friendly....and we go so often now that they know me when I walk in :) they do gre3at breakfasts and they also do fab pizza, chinese food and all kind of things........and they are so welcoming to Sam and Abigail who often leave a real mess behind!
Goosey goosey gander.......
Wherever shall I wander???????
This little guy flew into our front yard this morning and just sat there for ages.........
Flood!!!!
These are fields by the side of Hwy 21....normally full of hay bales or whatever.......but right now they are so flooded there are waves from the wind and its like a lake!!!!
The girls........
Susannah and Abigail all set to leave for their dance recital.....the only thing missing is their lipstick as they ahve to wear red and I don't own a bright red lipstick...I don't like lipstick - YUCK - hate the feel of it......so I have two browny ones for 'special' nights out (lol) and thats it!!! So Lloyd is stopping off to buy some on the way!
Still Tuesday.....
Lloyd got home earlier than expected today so we decided to go out for lunch - so we went to the Esso garage to show him where we go for breakfast with Val each week......I had pineapple chicken with fried rice and steamed vegetables and it was GORGEOUS...the people who own the restaurant on Hwy 21 also run a Chinese restaurant in downtown Edmonton, so the food is GOOD!!! :)
On the way to the restaurant I took some pictures of the flooded fields...wow the thaw is hitting the land hard this year.....it looked like a lake! We saw several birds of prey on the way home.......it has been snowing all day......light wet horrid snow :(
The girls are on their way to the theatre now....they ahve to be there 2 hours prior to showtime for rehearsals...then on the way home Lloydis picking Chris up from badminton........
So we had to get the girls ready in their first costumes for the show - and all their stage make up - YUCK!!! I HATE seeing little girls in make up - even subtle make up, butu for stage they ahve to have heavy make up including foundation and mascara and everything and it looks nasty on little girls.......so I took some pictures of how not nice they look lol!!!!
Apart from that we cleaned and dusted and caught up on laundry and the floors and tided bedrooms and got the house straight.....Lloyd got a phone call to say his contract is signed so he COULD go back to work tomorrow - but he has told them he is going back on Thursday and so tomorrow we will go out and do something and make the most of his last day at home!
I should go get some supper for the boys and have abath before we have to head out to the theatre.....
Firstly I will add some pictures though!

Tuesday
I didn't sleep well last night......no idea why.....I woke up at 3am from a nightmare and then was awake for a couple of hours.....Lloyd left me to sleep this morning but then woke me up JUST as he was going out the door so it didn't feel right and left me in a bad mood......I don't like being woken up in a rush....
The children went to school...Lloyd took Abigail to preschool and Sam downtown to show him off to his team.......Lloyd ahs to sign his new contract this morning but he doesn't know if he can start work tomorrow or Thursday or even Friday as he has to wait for the deputy minister to sign it too......
So I am all alone here today! The house is soooooooo quiet and it is so weird! I wa son my own last Thursday on the drive to meet Val for breakfast - oh all of 10 minutes???? But I am never alone here at the house so this is odd!
I was really mad when I came downstairs because no one had done their chores - the children each have chores to do before school - dishwasher, sweep the dining room after breakfast...feed the animals...and NOTHING was done...their bathroom was such a mess and everything was left to me. I emailed Lloyd and complained and he said he knew and that he planned to do it this afternoon - but he knows full well that I will ahve already done it all by the time he gets home.....I don't know, maybe they all overslept or something but I really wanted to was the floors and get the laundry done but now I am all behind because I had to do everyone elses chores first.....
So I am on strike for a while to use the computer ;)
Tonight is the girls dance recital at the local theatre.......last time it was so so funny I swear I was crying with laughter - tears pouring down my face! Abigail was 4 and was a bumblebee.....it took a while before she realised there was an audience watching her - but once she realised that, she went to the front of the stage and started doing silly things - wiggling her antenae and pulling funny faces - the whole audience was hysterical with laughter...at first I was like 'OMG she's not MY Daughter' but once I realised the audience was LOVING it all I relaxed and just laughed and laughed! It was the highlight of the show!
Last night we took Susannah to the theatre for her dress rehearsal...NOW - DRESS REHEARSAL to me means they rehearse in their costumes...practicing the costume changes etc...well NO - not here it doesn't - so we lugged all the costumes there for NOTHING!!!! Grrrrr Oh well!
So Lloyd and I had 2 hours to waste in town while Susie rehearsed...we went to Chapters and had a look around (love love LOVE having time to waste in bookstores) then we sat in Starbucks for a while and three students came up to us..they asked if we would mind taking part in a film about Native prejudices.........so Lloyd volunteered ME!!!!!! So yes I sat there and answered questions about native prejudices while they filmed me.....lol so today some lucky teacher has to sit through my exciting interview lol! I didn't answer the questions very well though so perhaps they will jsut delete me ;)
We walked down to the opticians and I tried on endless glasses but I can't find the ones I loved last year and the ones Lloyd loved I wasn't keen on - so we will keep looking!
After that we went to Home Depot...then Homesense.....but really we didn't buy anything - Lloyd bought some more light switch covers and that was it....
We picked Susie up and came home and then it was tyhe childrens bed time....oh and then we sat and wtached the new series of Little People Big World and I spent the whole time BAWLING my eyes out........it was so sad...and happy.....and sad...with Matts Dad crying because his Grandson was in surgery and it gave him flashbacks to Matts 53 surgeries.......
It was a wonderful episode and it looks as though it is going to be another great series.......and tonight there is a new series about a couple who have 2 six year olds and six two year olds...so that should be fun to see :)
I don't watch muhc tv but we DO watch Little People Big World because its just such a great series......its the only kind of 'reality tv' series I can bear to watch!
Have a great day everyone!

Do you agree?
This is the quote I was sent this morning:
A man's goodness is truly measured by what he is, not what he does.
by Deepak Chopra
Do you agree with that? I don't think I do and I am wondering if it is miss-typed........
I don't think a mans goodness is measured by what he is.....does that mean a King is good always? Or some high powered business guy is great and good? No - I don't agree with that at all - it has to be a typo.....
Surely a mans goodness is measured by what he DOES.........
Am I wrong here?????

Today ALL that lovely grass is covered again! Everytime I think it is almost dry enough to clean up after the dogs, it SNOWS AGAIN!!!! :(
