The Lilacs are almost done for another year...the smell is always sooooo incredible...I think if I stay here I will buy another - maybe a white one....and plant it on the other side by the deck....I think I need to buy some more blossom trees too - maybe an apple tree or pear tree...

Stood up

After a long day out last week I got the children bathed and showered and ready for their dad to collect them and take them to Chris's Grade 12 award Ceremony.  Unfortunately at the last minute he changed his mind and decided not to take them :(  They were very disappointed :(  

For Today......

Outside My Window... It is raining....the raindrops are running down the window and I have been awake since 6:20am listening to it.  It is grey outside but my Daisies have started to flower, so they believe that Summer is here even if nothing else does!!  :)

I am thinking...about so many things.  Had an interesting talk with Darren last night about my house...and now I'm back to square one not knowing what to do about it :(  Bloody house!!!   Bloody decisions!!!  F*CK!!!  It's not like it's a minor decision either - it's like a MILLION DOLLAR decision :(

I am thankful for...the choices I have to make.....the position I am in...that my concerns are the concerns I have and although they are stressful, I am very fortunate to be in the position I am in.  I know that eventually this legal case will be sorted out and I will be fine.  Things could be so much worse.  Many people going through divorce are not as lucky as I am.

From the kitchen...delicious corn on the cob for supper last night.....although it was soooooooo MESSY to eat...we were all dribbling it down our chins and it was so funny....but YUMMY!!!!  :)

I am wearing...a pj top and underwear....

I am creating...a journal for SR2, my regular art journal....

I am going...swimming today.  Yay!!!
I am reading...The Help by Kathryn Stockett for Book Group, but I haven't picked it up much this week because of my homework for SR2

I am hoping...for some dry weather so I can get the grass cut in the next few days.

I am hearing... The rain outside, birds chirping....my Robins I think...and Sams funny sleepy noises beside me..

Around the house...we have changed the way the chores are done and it seems to work much better.  Instead of changing it twice a day, it changes weekly.  So each child has the same chore for a whole week.  That way they have no excuse for not knowing what their chore is.  It changes on a Monday morning and on a Sunday they have to make sure they do their chore FULLY so it is all up to date for the new person to start the next day.

One of my favorite things...My SR group.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...swimming, library, a craft day at Joannes tomorrow, farmers market if its dry, Homeschool park day, Museum, Education Station, 

Fun with friends at Homeschool Park Day

Sam had a blast in the sand with his friends last Thursday at homeschool park day :)  

My snuggle bunny...

Sam told me the other day that he thinks he will still be coming in during the night to sleep in my bed when he is 12.....sigh....

Mind you I have to admit I love our morning cuddles :)  He's my hot water bottle too - so warm and cuddly :)  and I love watching him sleep :)  

I don't even hear him come in during the night....I just wake up in the morning and he's there!  lol!
