Its been over a week since Tara's fire now. I believe they are in the rental house now with rental furniture - but I get the idea from reading between the lines of little things posted here and there ....that things aren't great with the rental furniture (well not that it WOULD be great being that it is not THEIR furniture...but well FAR from great.....I don't know. I hope there is an update soon because I worry and I think about them often and I haven't heard anything from anyone for a few days. I was hoping that was because they were busy settling in and making it as 'homely' as they possibly could under the circumstances :( but maybe things are just not so good :(
I'm thinking of them anyway :( Its a new week for the rest of us but their nightmare continues :(
It's Remembrance Day tomorrow. Here in Canada that means a holiday tomorrow. Lloyd is off of work and the children will have the day off of school. Christopher also has today off of school. He has plans to meet his other friends for lunch at their school in town, so I am taking him to the mall in a couple of hours. Then he is getting the bus downtown and coming home with Lloyd later.
the workmen are here working and banging about. they start at 8am.
Our weekend was ok.....Saturday Lloyd worked - they are so busy right now and he is in so many meetings during the week that he doesn't have time to get his paperwork done, so he went in on Saturday to get it done. He went in at 6am and was home by lunchtime. The afternoon he spent outside chopping wood and getting yardwork done while I worked on ATC's for swaps.
Chris spent Saturday afternoon by the lake with a group of friends filming a movie. Susie went to a movie on Friday night and slept over at her friends house so Lloyd went to pick her up and I did the running about for Chris. Saturday night Lloyd and I took Laurie to his friends house where he slept over. Lloyd and I went out for dinner.
Sunday we took Sam with us and went to Stupidstore to get the groceries - we also went to Michaels and Staples for a few things.
Sunday afternoon and evening I worked on my Stories in Hand course (logging in to the website and signing in to the map etc it was basically all about saying hello, introducing yourself and finiding out more about the course and what was involved.....and then I finished off all my ATC's for swaps so I am totally up to date with those and have none that I need to do before my course is over YAY!!!!! :) Stacey I will give mine to you on Wednesday when I see you - along with your cd of pictures!
It was a productive weekend and now I'm all set to get stuc in to my online course - Stories In Hand :) I can't wait to get started properly TODAY :)
I hope you all have a good week. I hope Tara and her family find comfort this week and work towards finding a sense of 'home' amongst all this chaos and nightmare :(
