Late

So...I'm late today blogging...at least I blog, which is more than I can say for some!!

Josee is off to BC today and I am jealous. I know she'll have fun and Tracey and the girls will enjoy having her there....blah, blah, blah...did I mention I was jealous.

The floods in Kentville have subsided somewhat. I usually go down Lovett Rd and Brooklyn St when I head to work. I could not go down either as both had been flooded by the recent weather. I could drive down them today and you could see the "tide" lines in the ice. Some glad I don't live close to that. I was hoping the building I work in would get surrounded by water but no such luck..haha!!

Madelaine McKeil

Madelaine McKeil arrived on Monday!! We are over the moon, Ann and Doc are grandparents for the first time. Their son, Christopher and his wife, Brenda had their first child, a little girl. Congrats to all!! Cannot wait for her first trip to Nova Scotia!!

New Dose

Graham has been taking this new medication that he has to build up his tolerance to until he hits the right dose. Last night was our last increase in it. Unfortunately when he starts a new dose it really bothers his sleeping...he doesn't sleep well, has nightmares. So last night he was up alot through the night, I asked him why he didn't come and lay with me (Mike is in Halifax) and he said he didn't want to disturb me. I told him it was probably the wind and rain that bothered him but if he had problems he could come and sleep with me tonight...and trust me, he's a worm when he sleeps.

Today was PJ day at school, not "what you where to bed" day, otherwise Graham would end up in his underwear. Elysia took clothes in case people weren't wearing their pj's in her grade...the angst of a teenager.

Josee is heading to BC tomorrow and I am jealous!!

Weekend

Went to Connor's hockey game today, they won, Connor is really getting more physical in the games. I told Sarah she better be careful because he might rub her out in the hallway at home. The other team had this huge player with a great shot and Connor got into it with him a couple of times. Uncle Jeff took Graham over to have him help out in the penalty box, he thought that was pretty cool.

The kids and I went to Halifax yesterday. I got to use my laptop for scrapbooking and really enjoyed using the new program I had got. Elysia spent the day with her friend Melissa and managed to get a little shopping in. Graham spent the day with Lynn and family and had a ball playing with Blake and Brady, he has really missed them. They have a cute kitten now, his name is Jonah and he loves to be picked up, my kind of cat. I do miss having a cat in the house, but it's either a cat or Elysia and we really like having her around...haha. Mike spent the day home, did some laundry and I'm sure watched at least one movie (ps did I mention my husband, Mike).

Here's a picture of Elysia and Sarah playing in the snow at Josee's house...

Friday

Thank Goodness!! This week has seemed extra long...not sure why...maybe it's the age thing...

Heading to the city tomorrow for some scrapbooking. The kids are visiting friends for the day, Elysia is visiting her friend Melissa and Graham is spending the day at our old (as in prior, not age) babysitter's house with their kids. They are both looking forward to it. Mike will be home by himself, I'm sure there will be a movie involved at some point during his day. Hopefully we can get Graham's hair cut while we are up in the city, he likes to go to the Walmart, but the Walmart in New Minas does not have a hair salon (sorry Graham, a barber shop).

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day to all!! Even though I am not a big supporter of this one, I still wish all a good day and in the spirit I will blog in red today!

Gave the kiddies a little Kinder Egg Surprise Valentine. Which was amazing because I had bought them a while ago and hid them in a safe place. Guess what, it was very safe, took me about 15 minutes to remember where...I knew it was in the kitchen and just before Graham came down, I remembered it was in the turkey roaster. Good mother!

Played with my laptop last night, had some fun. Elysia loves it! I am taking it to my scrapbooking gig on Saturday.

PS Did I mention my husband, Mike...

My new laptop is at my house and I'm at work...AGH!!
