Rambling On

Well yesterday was the start of the children’s summer vacation. And if yesterday was any indication of what I have to look forward to this summer, boy…. am I in trouble. The kids spent most of their day fighting yesterday. So bad actually I hate to set aside some orogold articles that I was writing because I just couldn’t concentrate. I’m really hoping all of this fighting ends soon otherwise it’s going to end up being a very long summer for the children and myself.

Well once again my husband is making noises concerning moving. I have learned over the years not to get too excited over this but still… I can help but think that maybe this time things might be different. Last night he was checking out different houses for sale in our area and even looked quite closely at one that had a pool with handicapped pool lifts. But like I said, I’m not getting too excited. I’ll just wait and see if this time he is serious about a move. Only then will I start to get excited.

Well I have two ceremonies to attend to tomorrow and they are both within an hour of one another. At 10:00 I have to be at my daughter’s middle school to watch her get an award and then have to leave there and head down to my son’s elementary school to watch his graduation from grade 5. I don’t know how I’m going to pull this off, but both kids want me in attendance. So I’m going to try my best to attend both. I’ll have to remember to charge up the canon digital cameras so I can capture both events for my husband. Hopefully I can make both events and both kids will be happy.

Well this is the final week of school for the children before they are let out for summer vacation. So what does that mean for me?? That means I will have two children underfoot for the next couple of months and get to listen to quite a bit of fighting. So I think this is going to mean that doing articles on dual diagnosis treatment which require a lot of research and concentration will be out of the question. Oh well, the kids did amazing again this year and certainly do deserve this break. I just hope I can live through it.

Man, I wish I liked food. I don’t like most foods and I absolutely hate to cook. So most days I put off eating and by the end of the day I’m seriously starving. Plus due to all this lack of eating I have lost quite a bit of weight. And believe me folks when I tell you all this, I really don’t have any extra weight to lose. So I have decided that I really do have to try to force myself to try to eat more each day. Maybe this way I’ll put on a few pounds and start feeling better once again.

I do a lot of crafts but lately really haven’t done much of anything. Well I got the crafting bug once again and yesterday dug out my scrapbooking supplies. I had already started a scrapbook for each of the kids but never got around to finishing anyone of them. So yesterday I dug out my daughter’s scrapbook that I had started and decided to work on it once again. I found a lot of her old Halloween party invitations from years gone by and decided to incorporate them into her scrapbook. I got quite a bit done yesterday and am quite pleased with myself. So… one down, two to go.

We are finally supposed to be getting a nice day today. After three weeks of constant rain, I really do think it’s about time! So I think I will put off the articles on muscle supplements that I’m supposed to write today and go outside and finally start some of my outside work. Because of all the rain that we’ve had over the past few weeks I really haven’t been able to be outside much. So I’m going to take advantage of this wonderful day and hopefully get a lot of work done outside today.

Here in Canada we have a long weekend. It is the time of year that we celebrate the Queen’s birthday. Well my children have an extra long weekend this weekend. They are also home from school today as their teachers have meetings. So it’s going to be a very long weekend for me. I won’t be able to get much done this weekend and forget about shopping around for a better Medicare plan like I planned to. So I’m just going to try to get through a noisy long weekend and just pray that Tuesday doesn’t take too long coming around.
