I was sat in Mcdonalds today skimming the papers for childcare ads (no luck) and I recognised the lady that walked in and sat at the table beside me. Her Son was in preschool with Abigail last year! We sat and chatted for ages and I ended up being in there for two hours! The children were happily playing with their preschool friend so it worked out great. It was a really interesting conversation and has left me with a lot of food for thought!

Talking of food - it's date night tonight! Lloyd needs a few things to take to Toronto with him, so we are planning to have an early dinner and then do some shopping at SEC. I want to pop into the Running Room too as I have a few questions.

I'm glad we went out today - although it means I STILL haven't made my pumpkin loaf!

Donna from Scrappers Haven has started an online tutorial blog for stamping techniques..... What a great idea!


It's so nice to put a voice to the name and face too lol!

What on earth happened to the weather forecast for this week???? So Friday is going to be horrible - tomorrow is going to be lovely...today is supposed to 'nice' (and as I look out the window I see blue skies a-comin'!!!!!

So it doesn't look as though we will go to the zoo on Friday after all - maybe next week.

Job wise - I have told Lori that I would like to work Wednesdays and Fridays and alternate Saturdays. That I am away for a week in October and that all this is dependent on childcare (which is not proving easy to find. Basically all that I earn will go towards childcare lol! So now I am on the hunt for part time childcare - Wednesdays and Fridays - but flexible so that if I need to change my days or work an extra day then that would be ok.

There was a lady advertising on our mail box.....but the sign has gone so maybe they will have it at the store on the board...and the local paper comes out today so I will look in there too....

So...I might be working three days a week for minimum wage and paying more than I earn in childcare lol but I'm looking forward to it - it's a beautiful store. Lovely baby clothes, maternity bras, new baby gifts....elegant, unusual baby items....they have a play area for children, breastfeeding room....washroom...and hey - I certainly am an experienced Mom to know the products :) I haven't worked retail for YEARS but I used to really enjoy it :) Especially at Christmas! And working those two days mean s I can still do preschool after Christmas if I wnat to, can still help in Abigails class sometimes, can still (most importantly!) have breakfast with Val every Thursday morning :)
