Snow Day!!!

Oh my god, I think it is going to take me all day to recover from the snow day yesterday :)

Actually, it was a great day. I didn't stop AT ALL but I got lots done and the kids were well fed. Went through Makayla's room top to bottom and got rid of a bunch of stuff. Got most of Deylin's room done and got mine done. And did dishes 3 times! And made 4 meals and made muffins. And Makayla's lunch. So, all in all it was a good day.

Mya was here as well, and they did fight on and off driving me nuts! But, still was good. Amber was recovering from a late night date the evening before. Still seems like all is going well and I'm so stoked.

Oh btw, the bf in BC was former best friend or good friend at least, Craig. Not boyfriend. Sorry for the mix up. I can't believe that Mark is out there so close to Jeannine and Craig. Not fair. I'm thinking about going out when I win the lotto. Or maybe later on in the summer.

Had Makayla to physio yesterday. Turns out she had a sprained ankle. Took her to see Heather. She said both feet were plunked crookedly onto the legs so they were already half rolled. She rolls over on them all the time. So, she is all straightened out, and the pain and swelling has gone done quite a bit. She's using arnica cream and taking Traumeel so she should be good to dance by Sat. That's all she's worried about :)

I am really having second thoughts about the dress. In my abilities, but I know I'd get over that once I started. And I have 2 dressmakers who said I could call them with questions. But, what is really getting me freaked out is the time. I just don't understand how I'll find the time. I am reconsidering the whole thing. Maybe Troy will help pay for it. I really want to do this for Makayla and be super mom, but I have to think of my sanity too. I am constantly taking on more than I can do.

The scrapbook retreat is set for March 24 if you want to/can come down Mar. I'm looking forward to it. DH is taking the kids somewhere for the night. Maybe out to Andrew's so that by the time it is bedtime, he can play too. I'd like to see him have some fun too. Although I am always stretched too thin and don't find I get a lot of time out, I still get more than him. He is all work and no fun. Not by choice. So, hoping we can get that fixed up in the months to come. We all need more balance.

The kids have been awesome and I got everyone up and fed and dressed and homeworked and lunched and driven to school on time. Amazing what you can do :) My neighbour always offers to drive Makayla every second week when he has his kids, but he is late EVERY blessed day. So, Makayla has been so late with neighbour and at least half of the days Mark drives her. So, no more neighbour, and if she doesn't get up on time without fighting so Mark won't be late, she has to walk. You wouldn't believe what an incentive that has been for her. Seems harsh, but it is soooooooooooo hard to fight with her to get up. I know this is just my own good karma for punishing all those sweet people who've tried to get me up over the years. I feel your pain. Wish I could change. It sucks.

Anyway, have a great weekend. Phaedra has the hospital tour tomorrow and their surgeries are on Wed. Tomorrow am hoping to get to an ECMA event with mom, but we'll have to see how the sitters go. Mark was supposed to be here!

Bye for now!
