Sitting here thinking of how I can make this blog a little more exciting. Do you really want to here about my day..? Nothing to exciting. I reached my goals in what I wanted to accomplish for the day: 3 loads of laundry, Scrubbed the cupboards the scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floor, then I vacuumed my living room,paid some bills & made my bed... along with watching 5 kids today... My little Boo bear is laying her on my legs, she isn't feeling very good, I took her to the dr. yesterday and she is fighting a virus. I hate when she isn't feeling good... cause she is so crabby, unlike her brother, he rarely get's sick but when he does he is quiet, lies around and just minds his own business. I am ashamed to say, sometimes I go around spreading germs on his bedroom door knob, or I will accidentally use one of his socks to wipe anothers nose...NOOO I really don't do that, but that seems to be the only time Nicholas slows down long enough to be able to talk to him. He's a busy boy. Nicholas is at Hockey right now, he had practice down at the Handke Pit BBBBRRRRR.. Michlyn had school in the same place and Erica again decided to go and skate and go sliding with a friend. So me and Boo Bear got the house to our selves tonight... NICE AND QUIET! This weekend is looking good, Nicholas has no hockey, no big plans just mom and dad are coming to visit us Sat. very much looking forward to that. I was thinking of taking the kids to the movie - August Rush. After I paid the bills tonight I think I changed my mind... Yuck, winters get rough for us financially. Always a couple months we have to skim by until we get taxes done to help us until Rick picks up the hours at work again... Where would we be without his over time? Thank you Rick for being such a good provider now go out and get a part time job too! :) just kidding... I would rather us weather the storm then you have to work even more and be away from the family and home... the house needs you! your doing such a good job finishing up the down stairs... I put an add in the paper to pick up a couple more daycare kids, so hopefully I will get a few calls soon. So I am guessing by how Rick has been working in the basement, we will have another living room in a few weeks... how exciting! I suppose I should get going, am starting a new book I have been hearing so much about - Glass Castle. I go thru reading spurts. I will stop reading for a very long time, and then when I pick back up on it, I get a little obsessed. I can't imagine life with out reading... that's like life with out coffee. can't even imagine that! I love to play the book in my mind like a movie, I picture the characters - color of their hair, shape, looks... Some times I feel like I am great friends with these characters and I have even found my self missing them... or talking about them by name... I have even read really slow when I am at the end of the book because i don't want it to be over with. But then another book comes along and takes their place... Does all this sound weird? O.k. gotta go
Until I write again.
