Alrighty then..

Sooo I guess I should take this "blogthing" as a hint as to what I need to do ..




Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC



"Back in black, I hit the sack,

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back"



Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos.

But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

again with pics..



Still sloggin thru the kids being gone..*sigh* been a good girl & doin the Arc trainer even tho it's causin me grief :( & missing Jamie while he's at work..

but at leastI can say we have had fun on the weekends. -- & YES we really are nuts enough to think ANY excuse to dress up is a GOOD thing :)
we went to a "Caribbean" themed party that friends had.. got to try all sorts of fun recipes ( can't help it I'm a foodie by nature ok?) ..but I won't torment you & tell you all about the Coconut rice or the Prawn & Sea Bass curry I made...& I definitely won't mention the Jalapeno corn bread or the Banana fritters ... :)

& for once I got to go out wearing something TOTALLY comfy ..gotta love loose sundresses..not the least bit flattering .. but comfy as heck!
Now if someone could just make this damn rain go away ..I might find something to smile about ..

Fine Fine ..ok already..

OK fair enough.. yes I've been away from the world of blogging for a bit now..
& No I didn't run away from home. Not to say that I haven't wanted to..

I have genuinely been busy as heck.. Kids finishing up school & activities.. the entire Canada day long weekend I was back & forth everyday to a neighbouring city for Steven's Lacrosse Tournament (Maple Ridge to port Moody for those of you in the know! ~lol~ )
& then on top of that we had our annual Red & White Canada Day party..Crazy Busy but FUN!
Other than that I'm desperately trying to spend as much spare time as I can right now with the kids as they are now leaving this weekend until the END of July with their Dad down to Oregon...Nice for them .. but Horrid for me.

.. the part I haven't wanted to talk about is how I had booked my holidays for these 2 weeks ( where I usually do) - He does things with them the first 2 weeks as it's his birthday but -there was NO negotiating with him about moving the time ..& worse yet - I can't . He insisted that HE had booked campsites with His parents & it was already DONE ...end of story.
Yes I could cancel my time off .. but there was no where in the summer I could still get any time.
Fun eh?? Yea .. well I've fallen into quite a funk about all this some days.. tryin not to.. but well ...any who..
& the reality is Jamie is incredibly overwhelmed & busy with work right now soooo I'm gonna on my own with no one but my own retarded brain to deal with .
I wasn't keen on blabbling about it .. mostly because I'm of the mind that you can't fix this for me .. or in some cases can't understand why I'm not just Happy to have time to myself..
So really .. why talk about it in the first place??

On top of that .. there is HUGE changes going on at my work .. our ward will be closing in the next couple weeks & up until the other day none of our staff even knew where they were goin next.. this is going to be ongoing as they are in the process of "downsizing" the Hospital.. so life as I have known it there-- is unraveling rapidly.. Needless to say this is scary & just adding to the pile of FUN thoughts running around in this head..

Throw in the fact that I have lost all ambition for any structured exercise program .. because every time I do.. anything that involves weight bearing on the stupid foot .. I am limping for days after.. & well ... that hasn't been making me too happy either..

Gee this is one of those things where you kinda wished you didn't ask now isn't it??


anywho .. I'm sorry I have been derelict I keepin up with you all .. I just haven't had the time or frankly the energy to be "cheery & supportive".

The one good new thing in my world is I have discovered Facebook..
This year will be my 20th reunion for school ...( yea more potentially heavy thoughts ~lol~)
but it has provided a great resource for helping to track down missing classmates :)

It also is a simple "light & fluffy " way to comunicate as much or as little as you wish ..
So yea --If you wann say a quick hi.. I check in there pretty much every day..
