Crazy Days and Nights!

Well, we're nearing the end of our crazy stretch of events. Some events were big and most of the things are little which made life a little stressful the past few days! The biggest news was U2. Totally had an amazing time, I have a few regrets, the biggest one was leaving my camera at home! So I rely currently on videos on you tube! I actually don't know how to put into words the experience I had. I don't know if it's because I've wanted to see them live for such a long time, or because they are so iconic I don't know. But there was over 60,000 people there, the dome was open we had the CN tower in the back drop, the set was amazing, there was a circular mega-screen above them so no matter where you were, you could see amazingly. Ahhhh, it was just so wonderful. I do know, that next time IF they come back, I'M THERE!!!

Our kids stayed with my parents, so that morning I had to drive them out there, and then to Toronto. The next day I went back to get the kids, but made a day of it and stayed until before dinner. Then yesterday we had a meeting at the bank in the morning, then had a wedding to go to. The kids were shipped to Shannon's for an hour, then to the in-laws for the rest of the time. We didn't get back home from the wedding until after 11pm.

This morning we went to church and then I'm having a nice quiet afternoon. But once the kids are up, we're out the door again for Jaden's birthday party. Come tomorrow, all life will resume as normal....I think.

My First Part Time Week

This is my first official part time week. It was a short one at that. I only had to work Tues. & Wed. Although it was only 2 days, I still seemed to drag my toes while there. Then when today rolled around and I thought that I would have a nice relaxing day, the kids didn't think so much so! I had a plan in my mind what I was going to accomplish, and when. But it didn't work out that way. After dragging Caleb to the van while he was crying about how he wanted trains, we headed to Waterloo for some things. While in public my children were angels, and I'm so glad they were. Once we were back home again, they were playing while I was getting some clean up done, and laundry. Then I made them just a simple lunch and got them fed and put them to bed. Once they were in bed, I sat down and enjoyed some quiet time and a bite to eat. About 1/2 hour later, I got surprised by my parents who "happened to be in the area". That totally made my day. They spent the afternoon and the kids loved having them here. Then after they left, I ran around the house trying to accomplish everything I wanted to. And I was successful. But I am now exhausted!

We had a great long weekend. Saturday we had our friends over for lunch, and then the rest of the day was spent with just us, and then we headed to Bro-Sis-in law's for a bbq supper. On Sunday we got up early and headed to Orangeville where we met Deb, Kathryn, Patrick and the Fessenden's and headed to the fair. I was pretty disappointed with it, they need to cater to children in more ways besides a table of corn and toys, and the outrageously expensive rides! What happened to a good old fashioned petting zoo?? Huh? After we parted ways, we headed back to my parents for the rest of our weekend. We had a great time. We went swimmig in their neighbour's pool, we had my Uncle and Aunt out, we had a campfire and we pitched a tent and slept outside. It was fun!

Although summer is over, Dave and I are still full force ahead with things coming at us left right and centre! This weekend compiles of Caleb going away with the in-laws, our first bowling league night, ladies day to Wonderland with some co-workers(I get a day out from responsibility!) getting Caleb back and other stuff which has left my memorie at the moment. Thursday, I am running the kids out to my parents and coming back only to turn around and head to Toronto with my fabulous husband and seeing U2. I'm so so thrilled about this! Then I will be back to O'ville again Friday to get the kids. Saturday we have a wedding to attend. Baseball party coming, birthday party coming for a friend's daughter, and the list just goes on, I just can't think of anything else at the moment.

Work has been a bit slow, which makes my mind wander and think up things that irritate people. aka prank people. Did you know that a little post-it note on the bottom of the mouse makes it stop working? It does, and I had my co-worker on the phone with I.T. and on her hands and knees under her desk looking at all the wires. She finally resorted to bashing her mouse around like a mad woman when she realized the sticky note there. I'm just waiting to see what wrath will be at my expense soon! I've done a few other things as well, and although I find them extremely amusing myself, I don't know if you would.

Better go and see what everyone is up to.

September is Here

Wow, I can't really tell you where July and August went. They just flew right by. Today was an o.k. start to September. I feel like September is like a new year. I've been thinking of ways to get reorganized, stop procrastinating etc. Because I'm starting only 3 days a week next week, we need to buckle down with expenses and stuff, so being more organized with groceries and meal plans is a priority. And because Christmas season is upon us, plans and ideas for that has begun as well.

You know, I sat down here thinking I would type a nice blog, but now I don't feel like being at the computer at all. I'm tired of looking at a computer. I do it all day at work.

So I apoligize for this crappy read!
