Well it would appear big company back home has called. No word yet about the job though..I can honestly say the waiting is KILLING ME! More later! :)

It's not what you know, but who.
Who knew that statement would be so telling? The hubby had 2 job interviews with a company at home and now we're waiting for word. This is driving me nuts! My wish to relocate goes back and forth. It's a new start on the one hand, on the other a complete change for my kids. Mostly good for them as its close to tons of family and friends but I worry about starting over with them. I worry about losing control and not being able to keep an eye on them as I'm able to do here. Small community and very little places to go equals less opportunity to get into trouble. My Hubby says that I shouldn't worry as we raised them right but hey I'm a Mom, its what I do. He really wants this job as its more money and a complete lifestyle change for us. NO MORE MONEY WORRIES! But I'm still unsure. I guess we'll see what's in the cards for us huh? No telling what the future might hold.

We finally got some cold Canadian weather up in these parts. -22 today with the windchill. Do people in the States even know what windchill is? Sometimes I wish I didn't! The woodstove is blaring and its nice and comfy in the livingroom. The boys complain though because they have to haul in and stack the wood. Which translates to a big ole mess on the hearth. They hate lugging that stuff in. Poor boys! But they do it and rarely complain. When we got up this morning I told them all that we'd have to put on our winter coats and hats and scarves. This was met with different reactions from all of them. Madi (5 yr old) didn't really complain, she loves an excuse to wear her snow pants and fly down the slide at school. Jessi (teenager with attitude) put on her coat no complaints. Christopher and Jordan, well they layered. After arguing for a few minutes I gave up and let them go. Hardly worth the fight I assure you. I never knew how telling that whole "pick your battles" thing would be. I just hope that letting them get away with it today will lessen the fight tomorrow. Probably not but it was worth a shot right? Hey I never claimed to be the perfect parent! Far from it.

Anyway I'd better scoot for now. My little Sarah is sleeping on the couch and I want to get some laundry done. Have a good one! :)

A case of mistaken identity lead me back to this blog. I'm wondering if maybe it's a sign or maybe I should just get my butt in gear and start posting and finish what I started. It's been a long time since I've written anything besides what I post on MSN for family so I'm making an effort to get back to it and keep this semi-journal.

The kids are doing really well. Today was our first day back to school since winter-break and it was very smooth going. Except for Miss Madi who really would've liked to have slept in just a little bit longer but relentless kisses from me got her up and moving in no time. Poor kid! She just wanted a few more minutes! Now the house is quiet (only me and the kittens) and I have some time on my hands. Yesterday we took down the decorations that were up outside the house and put all the Christmas stuff away. It felt good to finally get the house cleaned up. Don't get me wrong I love to decorate for Christmas but because of the flu and cold bug going through the house its been near impossible to keep up with anything. Alldone now though and it feels great!

I'm going to close with a picture because, well I can and I'm finally figuring this blogging thing out! :)

For Miss Angela

I just wanted to upload these pictures to prove who I am. Notice the other pictures of me on the page. No big smile due to horrid front teeth. One picture is of me and my friends at my Husbands Christmas party for work, notice I'm not smiling and showing my teeth. Then finally a picture of my Hubby and I and I'm finally smiling! :)

Its officially Friday! Thank Godess because for a short week, its been a long week! Days after a holiday are always a little rough but with the reno and all it's been particularly busy. Now that this is all done however, I'll finally have a chance for a little downtime this weekend.

I spoke to my Grams on msn last night. Its very rare that I ever take the time to chat on my msn but when she popped up I had to find out how life was in Barrie. She asked if my Dad had told me about my Grandad's recent issues. Hell no of course he hasn't. My Dad never tells me anything, not unless I pry the info out of him. It would seem my Grandad had his license taken away from him. I could hardly believe what I was reading! They said he was just not quick enough to respond. His hands aren't working like they used to. This made my heart so very sad. I know my time with them around is very short and I'm not a silly twit, I know he's 84 but come on! He's my Grandad! A great deal of who I am is because of my Grandparents. They were the foundation of my family. Sunday's at their house was second nature when I was a little girl.
If we didn't go to Granada and Grama's house I knew something was seriously wrong! A lot of childhood memories revolve around them. To hear this last night made me sad.
I asked how he was taking it..(Grandad is a stubborn man) And he's finally doing okay with it. They had to take a taxi yesterday because they needed groceries and my Uncle couldn't take them. Wow...time is flying by and I don't even know it. Now all we have to do is convince him to get rid of the damn Snowblower and hire someone to do the driveway. Apparently he tells my Grams that they're not going to take everything away from him...I love him so much.

Time for a little linky love!
Steve
Go on over and give Steve a little love! The man is getting engaged and I'm so happy for him!
Congrats my friend!
I hope you and Wendy are incredibly happy! :)
