2 More Sleeps

2 more sleeps and then the teachers get them! It's time for my kiddies to go back, they are tired of looking at each other. Elysia has been up for 5 minutes and I have yelled at them twice. They cannot be in the same room together. Good luck to the teachers! Of course, they are in different grades so they won't see each other much.

Graham went to the Berwick Gala Days last night with Connor and his family. They went on the Tilt a Whirl (otherwise known as the Hurl a Whirl) and the Zipper (otherwise known as the Squasher)...they had a great time and watched the fireworks, which according to Graham were "awesome" and lasted, like, half an hour...most likely 10 minutes but it made them happy.

We had great hopes of spending the day at Blomidon, but Mother Nature has other plans. She apparently wants me to spend one of my only 5 statutory holidays indoors...kids, you better get the rain coats out! I think we may still go after lunch. High tide is around 2:30 so we may go after that. Rain, rain...go away! I have some clothes out on the line and trust me, they are well rinsed. Lots of thunder rolled through yesterday, lots of noise and rain.

We had mom out for supper the other night...nice pan fried haddock, I love it. Mom brought Sofie out and we wore her out. Graham took her for a walk and of course, she did a number 2 and Graham did not have a bag with him, so we had to retrace his steps afterwards and pick it up. Always said I would not do it...I am a sucker! We have offered to keep her while mom is in BC this year, the kids are looking quite forward to it (I am a little too).

Friday at work we were quite short handed. The owner was not happy because people were taking time off at the end of the month, imagine the nerve of tying in vacation time with a holiday...how dare they?! Now the policy is that he has to check every single vacation request. Way to micromanage! Still hoping for something else, have been sending out resumes, don't know what bothers me more, being stuck there or no one else calling me! Boohoo! Well, lets see who makes it through this week.
