Okay...so I have been a little lax lately in my blogging...I would like to say it's because I have been been so busy but I cannot say that...when I think of it the computer is somewhere else in the house and I cannot be bothered going to get it at that point...I'll do it later I think...and then it doesn't happen. So I guess the reason is laziness, guess at least I am honest about it.
Not much going on. Graham had basketball yesterday. Mike and I ran the scoresheet and the clock and we think we are bad luck...they lost and the only other time they lost was when Mike and I did the scoresheet and clock...hmmm...
Elysia has an off weekend for soccer but next weekend she has two games on Sat night, should be a busy evening.
My kitchen is a scarey mess, I am hoping if I ignore it long enough the kitchen ferries will clean it...maybe, Mike will. So today it's laundry, laundry, and more laundry and the kitchen. I blame my mother for the kitchen mess, she hired Mike to make ribs and bruschetta for her get together, he's a great cook but he's use to not cleaning up after himself. He's a piler...as long as it's a neat pile, he thinks it's clean. Actually usually he's pretty good about cleaning the kitchen, maybe he's hoping for the kitchen ferries too.
Did go to a couple of basketball games at Acadian...great basketball. I like watching the ladies play, I find they dig a little harder for the ball. Graham's team was invited to play during half time, they didn't get alot of play because the radio stations were having some promotions but they had fun and enjoyed the crowd cheering for them.
Mike and Graham are heading off skating today, Elysia doesn't want to go but she "offered" for me to take her to the movies...how kind of her. Her and her friends went to see Marlie and Me the other night. They bawled, Elysia said there was a man behind her crying.

Happy New Year!
Wow it's 2009, I remember (barely) 1980 and how odd that seemed...now it's 2009...it does happen in the blink of an eye. We had a great eve, we went as a family to our friends' house with most of the neighborhood...it was great, we could walk there and not have to worry about driving, babysitters, cabs...
We were invited to a New Years Levee in the Chester area but needless to say with the weather we did not make it out...somehow 30 cms of snow will do that...but Mike did have fun with his new toy. We broke down and bought a snowblower, neither one of us is getting any younger but I swear the driveway is getting bigger. I did get the opportunity to use it for a couple of swipes but Mike looked like a kid who had his new bike taken away.
So it's back to "normal" life. The kids head back to school tomorrow and are not particularly thrilled about it. Elysia was given the first two of the Twilight series of books for Christmas, well, following in her mother's reading footsteps, she has read both, bought the third and should be done that tonight. So tomorrow evening it will be a trip to New Minas to the book store. I told her I hoped she would put that much effort into studing for her exams in January :)...yeah, deluded aren't I? Elysia says she doesn't know how she will be able to get out of bed so early for school, I told it's nothing a cold glass of water won't cure, not so funny to her.
Graham had basketball today, he had new shoes and a new mouthguard to try out. He had the mouthguard in when he got out of the car, maybe he felt the driveway was slippery or something. Anyway, he had a good game, scored 5 baskets, which is almost triple his season total so far. The team did well with their passing and rebounds and at this age, it makes all the difference.
My husband was off for two weeks and the day before he goes back he starts a cold...sniffling, coughing and generally not feeling well. So his first day back was a short one. With his blood pressure medication, he's limited to what he can take for relief, I always like those night time cold remedies that make you feel all wonky.
So Happy New Year to all, I hope 2009 is happy and healthy for all!
