Mike is still on nights(blah) so he has gone on to work now. He was being silly before he went and I laughed. I don't know how to describe it other that it was a real serious laugh, you know, honest-to-goodness joy behind it. It has been a while. I've got a good life. I've got good kids (well except this week they are super hyper for some ( Read more... )

Can you believe that weather out there? Bright sunny day....then dark clouds, wind, pouring rain, back to some sunshine, oh...oh...no! More rain!!!! Crazy weather, at least it is really warm so it won't snow. Newfoundland got snow, and h8igh winds. Last weekend they had 140k winds by my mom's. The maple I planted when I was 9 is toast.

So for the upcoming holiday season we will be short of funds. I'm ok with it - I am handmaking my gifts this year. Hopefully I will get it all done!

I am feeling really blah today. I am tempted to go back to bed. There is so much to do and not enough time. I started flannel jammies for my sister today but after getting them cut out, I don't feel like sewing them today. I need to get the kid's Halloween costumes done. Soon. I just can't seem to get myself to buckle down and just do it. ( Read more... )

Not much going on with us - lots of business - but nothing new. The kids are growing like weeds (as usual) and outgrowing clothes and footwear. Eileen has got the oily skin now, and she perspires. I can see the pores on her nose and cheeks are opening up. I guess she will have acne like I did. BUT, we have a good drug plan and there are very ( Read more... )

I really don't like heat. It makes me cranky. I prefer Autumn/winter. Really, cold is much easier to deal with ( Read more... )
