It's Official!!!!

Tickets are booked and paid for and I am heading overseas for the first time in my life!!! 1 week in Dubai - UAE and 1 week in Kuwait!!!.

I would love to stay longer but DH has to come back for work. At this point I am feeling beggars can't be choosers.

Especially because he was originally going to go alone for 5 days. I convinced him that I should go, so the second set of plans was to leave the kids with the Grandparents and just the 2 of us go for 8 days. We were working on that but it was sitting on our shoulders like a ton of bricks. DH asked me how I felt about bringing them with us and it was like the ton of bricks disappeared. I was in a huge frenzy trying to get everything in order before leaving and now I can take it slower. We have never left the kids before, and as much as I would like to get away with just DH and I, in my opinion going half way round the world isn't the way to do it. So the beginning of next month all 4 of us are jet setting overseas.

I am so excited but it still seems unreal!

PJ Day!!

Yup I practically spent the day in my PJ's. This flu doesn't want to let up so other than taking the kids to Karate today I basically stayed in my pj's and let the flu take over. DH brought me chicken soup in bed, he's so sweet! He then took the kids tobogganing, I hate to miss out on that but hopefully next weekend. Still haven't been to any WinterLude activities this year. Sure hope we can go next weekend.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great and unstressful week!

Smothered!!!!

with the stupid Flu!!!!! I was feeling fine all day on Thursday and then wham!!!! Thursday night I was down for the count. I can't breath properly, I am sneezing my head off and I want to sleep!!! And yes I did get my Flu shot!!!So why am I here posting???? Well I have had a few comments about neglecting my blog lol, you know who you are!!!! :o)

So yes I have been neglecting my Blog and I really shouldn't because this is a great way to let my friends know what I am up to and also a great way to get my journalling down. Anyway I digress, I think I got discouraged when I had trouble uploading my photos, can't get them to work but now that Blogger has been updayed perhaps I will have more success.

So Barb that is why those strawberry photos never got on my blog!!! LOL

In my scrapping world, I haven't been scrapping much lately I really should get at it because I am way behind and now that I am not working I should have the time right??? Wrong!!!! I seem to be either just a whole lot busier or a whole lot lazier LOL. My life seems to be filled with cleaning, shopping, an occassional movie and meeting friends. Then there is my volunteering at the school, started back at that this past week and again I wonder what I got myself into . But I do enjoy it, I think it is the prep that gets to me and the fact that the budget that I have to work with is so tight. I really end up dipping into my own money....shhhhhh don't tell DH lol. So right now I am teaching the grade 7 class how to do a book of scraps and started a scrapbooking and paper crafts club with grades 5-8. There is a total of 30 girls in those 4 grades and I have 21 signed up - not bad but Thank God I have 2 volunteer assistants!

Anyway that is my news for the moment, stay tuned there is something big for me coming up soon!!!!
