1. Well I got half my den done. The other half looks like a disaster zone. I'm waiting for Darren to bring me some boxes home so I can throw my trash pile away and pack up my donate pile. 2. I called Dakota's little friends step mom today and asked if either Kota could go to their house or we could arrange for the girl to come here later in the week. Poor girls wouldn't have anywhere to play here with the den like this. 3. If the weather holds out over night, I'll drop Kota off at the baseball field tomorrow. Little girls brother has a game, dads coaching and step mom is volunteering. Dakota's going to go and keep her friend company. If the weather doesn't hold, they'll go to her house to play. 4. I kinda feel a little guilty. Do they really need another kid to look after while they're busy? On the other hand, I know if they didn't really want her along, step mom would have made arrangements for later in the week. 5. I'm going to invite the little girl over later this week anyways, take some pics of the girls and print them out and then let them paint and decorate picture frames. I figure it'll keep them busy and they'll have fun taking pictures of each other. 6. To continue my facts theme of Kota and her little friend, lol. I picked the kids up today and Dakota informed me that she's supposed to go to intercession next week. I thought this mighty strange, first cuz intercession is for two groups of kids, those who are struggling in a subject or two and those who weren't happy with a grade and are wanting to raise it up. Kota fits neither of those categories. Second, I'd heard nothing about it til I picked them up...no note from the school, no phone call, not even her teacher mentioning it when I poked my head in Wednesday and said hi. Then Kota let it slip her little friend was going and yep, I get it, lol, she wants to go hang out all day with her friend. I had to explain that intercession wouldn't be four hours a day of playing, they go in, they work with a tutor for a few hours, have a break then work in a group for another couple of hours, it's not fun time it's work. All of a sudden she didn't want to go anymore, lol.

1. Well there goes my guilt, lol. 2. Got up and it's cold and windy today so I dressed Dakota up in her jeans, turtleneck, and heavy coat. She was sitting here ready at 6, two hours before she was to leave! 3. I packed her inhaler and gave her money and told her what she could buy (a bottle of gatorade, a pretzel, and 1 treat...that's about as healthy as she can get at a little league snack bar, lol.) 4. Dropped her off and told little girls step mom what she brought with her (the other girl also has asthma so all she asked was does she take her inhaler at a specific time or only when wheezy and since the winds blowing I'll keep an extra eye on her like the other little girl.) 5. I told her I'd pick Kota up in 2 hours. Her face fell! She said they were there for coaching and snack bar duty and then had a board meeting so would be there most of the day and it'd be great if Kota could stay longer to keep her friend company. We have no real plans today so I'll leave her til at least lunch time. We also made plans for the little girl to come over later this week. Knowing Kota isn't an inconvience and they really want her there makes me feel much better! 6. I want to snuggle up on my couch with a heating pad and a bottle of midol, I know if I don't get up soon and get to my housework, I will accomplish nothing today and I have a lot of work left! 7. Caleb's enjoying the morning without his sis. He told me he'd going to play his computer game (which he's doing now) and then plans on cleaning his bedroom. Asked me if I'd clean his carpet today. Told him if I didn't have time today, I'd do it Monday since I try not to do much on Sunday's when Darrens home.

1) Vin's gone out to the chessclub. Yay. So I have the computer all tomyself. Guiltfree. Ah bliss. 2) I have to clean my stinky fridge. I have at least a couple of science projects in the, 1 being eggs from February! And the other being salad that may have liquified. I am usually quite houseproud, and even though I have a cleaning lady, I do the kitchen myself. But I let the fridge cleaning project get away from me. Since my back went out earlier this week and I got hit with a bad bout of Fibro fatigue midweek, and the I got laryngitis on top of that since Thursday! For the past couple of days, whenever we open the fridge door, peeyew! So today's the day, since I am feeling somewhat energetic again. 3) Afterwards I am gonna stink like a sewer-rat, so its bubble-bath time. 4) And I have just the book to take into the tub with me... a Nora Roberts novel - Gabriel's Angel. I love her stuff, its dependable and always well written and interesting. 5) Then we have guests coming in from out of town and we are going out to din-din with them. Swiss Chalet, where we went last night with another friend. We keep this up, they are gonna hafta give us shares in the place! 6) And now I don't have anything exciting left to say. 7) How am I ever going to find 7 facts to chat about? 8) Oops, make that 8! LOL.

1. Welcome Back, Jbeanie! 2. I just got done pruning all my roses. Done! Now I have to clean everything up, but that can wait until tomorrow. 3. I took Jenna to my sisters today to spend the night, she was so excited, this is her first "official" sleepover with Auntie. My niece, who is 16 and doesn't live with her mom, is there too, they are going to have such a good time. 4. Jake got to go a couple weeks ago and ever since Jenna has been asking when it is her turn. 5. We stopped by the store for treats and she picked out cookies, ice cream, applesauce and juice. 6. Jake and Daddy are down at the creek behind our house looking for fish to feed. They are having a good "boy" day. 7. We are going to take Jake out to dinner tonight. He does so much better in restaurants than Jenna. Especially, when she isn't there! 8. Last night we had family fort night. We took the mattress off our hide-a-bed in the den, put it in the living room, made a fort out of a blanket, put out sleeping bags, made popcorn, played games and told stories. We had a great time, I love doing things like that with them. 9. I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

1. Aw, Jewels, sleepovers are fun and nice, especially when you get to spend one on one time with each of the kids cuz of it! 2. Jbean, welcome back! Sounds like you had fun! 3. My guilt was completely gone about half an hour after posting earlier, lol. 4. Dakota called and asked if I'd bring her heavy coat to her. Caleb and I got to the park and it was freezing! I offered to bring the girls back home, too cold to leave them there. 5. They painted picture frames and we took some pics of the two of them being goofy. Then they played, had lunch, and played some more. We took her friend home at 4 after a very busy and fun day. 6. Our uncles birthday is today so after we dropped Dakota's friend off we went out to my sisters for a few hours. 7. Most of the family was there. When I found all the kids in front of the tv watching a movie, I knew Kota wasn't the only one who'd had a busy day, lol. It was a very quiet birthday party as far as the kids went. 8. I managed to snap some pics of little adopted sis and her quickly growing belly. Didn't tell her it was so I could do a couple pages of her baby album (got to have those belly pics, lol.) She looks great and we got to feel the baby kicking! 9. Came home and fed the family, Darren was sound asleep on the couch by 6:30. He wasn't able to get a nap earlier today when he got off work with the girls here so I knew it'd be an early night. 10. Tomorrow we're having a lazy house day. No plans to go anywhere and nothing really to do. I have very little cleaning to do (probably just dishes and a load or two of laundry.) Dakota has to clean her bedroom and Caleb has to finish his though.

1. I'm back from a REALLY long day at St. Louis. 2. The workshop was fine. One of my grad students went. Eight of us went out to lunch and I got to talk to the clinician who was an old friend of mine. I also made some new friends. One went to the art museum with me after lunch. 3. Saw "Rent". First act BLAH, second act GOOD. The 5000+ seat theater was sold out. This is not my favorite musical...but then again, I don't like the book or the opera that it is based on. I like the musical better than the opera. Actually my lukewarm reaction to "Little Women" was better than my reaction to "Rent". Some tuning problems with the singers and the pit. I'm glad that I saw it for $26 and I can cross it off my list!

1. Fighting a terrible head cold since Friday. There is nothing more irritating than a head cold. I am hoping getting in to the hottub later might help. 2. Spent most of the weekend at the bedside of a friend's dieing mom. It was sad. She died early this morning. 3. Hugh is sitting beside me watching Naked Gun and laughing like a fool. I love watching him laugh. 4. I wish ENB was around more, because I have the worst case of chapped lips. Makes me chuckle to remember my bantering with him over his. Any suggestions, other than chapstick would be appreciated. Feel free to post in my folder. Have a great day tomorrow factoiders. Fondly, Wappy

1. Dakota's having a bad couple days. Yesterday she was running down the hallway carrying a baby doll, Caleb came out of his room and ran right into the doll which then slammed into Kota's face. Split her lip open. 2. Today she was playing fort with the craft table. She had it upside down, with the legs in the air and threw some blankets over it. I was in the kitchen doing dishes when I heard her scream. Came running in and found that somehow she'd managed to get her big toe stuck in it where the legs fold down. Took me holding her up and Caleb slowly lifting the legs of the table then me pulling her toe free. She's gonna have a nasty bruise but she's walking ok. 3. I'm watching my youngest niece a little later today while sis takes the older one to the eye dr. We've had this planned for a while. 4. Little adopted sis called and asked for a favor. She needs a babysitter. For a few seconds I was totally lost! She's not due til June, lol, am I supposed to go sit and watch her tummy??? Then she explains its for July, she's getting ready to buy her Ozfest tickets and wants to make sure she has plans set up beforehand. Since I'm the Ozfest babysitter (this has been a standing babysitting day for about 10 years now with the nieces and nephews) but I didn't think about the fact that this year that would include a newborn. I'm excited, lol! This is drop the kids off Friday night at bedtime, they spend Saturday and that night here too and then go home Sunday morning. 5. I'm doing a quick clean on the house this morning, hopping in the shower and then working on her baby album. With Caleb and Dakota here, they'll keep my niece occupied so I should be able to do some work on it.

1. Worked for myself yesterday and then picked up my business cards. 2. I am doing a little page ad in a magazine for a fundraiser thing the end of April. If you want, go to the 4C's link and you can see my logo (too lazy to go and find it now lol) 3. Today I am having to first help dh out in the barn for an hour or so, then I am heading over to my neighbours to remove wallpaper. 4. She is a good friend of mine and I don't mind working for her doing this. I am also able to bring Lisa with me and she can play in the toy room and watch movies while I work, so that's a good deal to. That way I don't have to worry about paying for a babysitter. 5. I am really behind here in my accounting and have to get on getting 2005 closed off and off to the accountant. I also haven't submitted my final 1/4 GST documentation to the government and I got the nasty "you have 15 days" letter last week. So need to give myself a kick in the butt and get going. 6. Working for a couple of hours at the pancake house tonight (there is an optimist group coming in) So, here I go again. Have a great day all

1. I have had a really crappy day and I am agitated. 2. I actually said "shit" twice in a meeting with a bunch of profs and an associate dean. 3. Her level on incompetence just baffles me more than how to spell incompetence. 4. I am having a nice glass of German Reisling wine with my spaghetti dinner. 5. I am eating spaghetti and pizza and soup all week because I am beyond broke. 6. I HATE having unreimbursed business trips. 7. Venting here makes me feel better...THANKS, and as Scarlett O'Hara says, "Tomorrow will be another day." SIGH

1. "Tomorrow is another day" is my mantra when I'm trying to do too much at one time and screwing it up all the while. Some things can just wait, and I've only learned that recently. 2. With that being said...I gave my two week notice at work today. It was hard, but went better than I thought it would. 3. My boss did exactly what I thought she would though and started telling me about a manager position and more hours and more money. Unfortunately, too little too late. And besides I don't think she's be able to offer me the kind of money I'll be making at my new job or be able to give me the kind of schedule I want. 4. She was very sweet about everything though and told me that if for whatever reason things didn't work out at my new job I always had a job with her. 5. I will miss seeing some of the people I've met while working there this past year. It will be sad saying goodbye. 6. In other news...we got our taxes done this past weekend and we're getting some money back this year. We were both shocked at the amount since usually Steve owes or gets less than $50, and I typically get anywhere from $300-$700. It's nice to get money unexpectedly! 7. We decided to buy ourselves a Dell Notebook, new patio furniture, and then save the rest. 8. It's late and I should be heading to bed. Happy Wednesday, all!

1. I'm tired tonight. My wrists hurt and my knees are sore from spending too much time today on them! 2. But I'm pleased with what I got done in Caleb's room. Three walls are fully spackled, sanded, and primered. I'll do the fourth in the morning. 3. We ran into a problem today. My plan had been to do in his room like I did in Dakota's. Move the bed to the center of the room, cover it in plastic and work around it. Unfortunately Caleb's room is much smaller than hers and setting his bed in the middle of the room put it right smack dab in my way. It's going to have to be moved back and forth as I paint it dammit. 4. Though right now the bed is the only thing in his room. 5. We're going to go in the morning and pick out paint. He has a general idea what he wants...a light blue green color. He's pretty excited about it. 6. I was going to let him sleep on the couch for the next few nights until Darren reminded me I'd have to keep the heater up out here which we don't do at night. So instead he's gonna crash on Kota's floor. 7. Darren came home from work and took one look at me and said, "Where do you want me to go to get dinner?" LOL, ok, didn't take a genius to figure out I hadn't even thought about it, I hadn't taken anything out for dinner! Besides the fact I was wearing my tacky, not for wearing outside shorts and old beat up tshirt and covered in primer and spackle! 8. Mom offered to come over and help paint. Usually I love to paint and prefer to be left alone to do it in peace, however with the kids home from school it may make it easier having her here to help so that we get it done faster. I got a lot done today but they weren't home so it was easy. If she comes and help we may be able to knock it out in one day and I won't have to worry about then.

9. Froggie, congrats on the new job! I know how difficult it is to leave a familiar job to a new one, but I bet you will do great and love it. 10. My tummy hurts, how many tums is too many? I know...I read the lable. I think perhaps I'm full on tums. lol

1. Skootz, we know you are working so very hard cause we don't see you zipping around here as much. You are sure missed, but we understand how difficult the first few months of any new business are....oh dear, did I say months. Enjoy your days off. 2.I am starting to feel more like joining the land of the living today. This cold has been a doozy. I am working at home and actually getting lots of my contract work caught up so I am feeling really invigorated. We are going to Ottawa this weekend to make up for last with the kids. I too, am looking forward to a few days rest and relaxation. Fondly Wappy

1. i've slowly gotten back into the groove of work. i must admit, i like the weather in the bahamas much more than i do here, at the moment. BRRRRRR this time last week i was about to get ready for formal dinner night. SIGH 2. i spent a lot of money on pictures on the cruise, then come to find out...i can just get on royal caribbeans website and download a copyright notice to copy any picture i bought....at walmart the 8X10 sheet is 4.74! i will know this the next time and only buy one picture and copy the rest that we want. 3. lola got a nice case of kennel cough from the vet! even though she has her vaccinations, they are like the flu shot...many different strains and under high stress situations...sigh. she will be ok, i just feel so badly about it!
