any body out there??!

Yes, I fell off planet earth.
But I came back, and landed on both feet.
Today shall be my last day of going in to school and purging my office. I am so proud of myself! I have spent everyday of summer going in for at least one hour. If I had to be travelling for Dalton's appointments, I made up the hours when I returned.
I am happy to report I have two filing cabinet drawers left to go, so I should be able to finish this morning. I have enlisted Dalton's help for this last day...I have a milk crate left of private papers that I need to have shredded...a job he might be more excited about than me!
Now I have to think of a suitable reward. I tried a pan of fudge squares last night in anticipation, but alas, the recipe was an epic fail. Don't you hate it when that happens?? they looked so good on the website. Urgh!


Well, I shall report back when I am officially done the clean out...and can start my vacation! (yeah, I know, 5 weeks late!)

hello..it's been awhile!

Life got pretty crazy around here again. Dalton has been sick with cold/flu mess off an on for nearly two months now. Wish he could just shake it and get back on track. This past week he has been up repeatedly through the night, which means I haven't gotten much sleep. To top it off, Philip is coming down with it; only thing worse than a sick kid, is a sick man!
I am tired. Just flat out tired. Thankfully it has been exam week, so a little less pressure with class preparation, and not as many high school kids around with "problems". However, it has meant more marking,and course selection time. Go go go. I forced myself to get out with the girls this week and celebrate some scrappers birthdays, and a Tupperware party. I know, exciting life!

This morning, Philip left early for bonspiel. We won't see him until late Sunday. So I surprised Dalton with homemade waffles and wild berry smoothies for breakfast! Yummy!

Today, I feel like purging. Clutter has got to go! I am so overwhelmed with life, I know the piles around me are just adding to it. Or, I  could look at it another way...the purging could be a welcome distraction form the other stuff going on!

So, I am off with garbage bags...don't come looking for me until Wednesday...I teach a new course then, and the kids might miss me!
