I am having the best weekend.  Lots of sleep, and lots of fun with friends Marshy and Vicki in Renfrew.  There hasn’t been much going on.  Work stuff, home stuff, J downloaded House season’s 1 and 2 so I’m slowly working my way through that.  I’m about ¾ of the way through season 1.

KCh. is out of town with work for the next week, then he is back three days, then gone for his vacation in PEI.  I’m sorta house sitting by bringing in his papers every night while he is away.

We have the babysitter booked for J’s birthday.  We’re planning on leaving at about 1 in the afternoon and going down to Sumerset for shopping in the fun grocery stores there.  Cheap Dim Sum lunch, dinner and a movie should make it fun for J.  For mine I have a hot stone massage and a hot stone pedicure booked at the spa.  CAN’T WAIT!!!

Last weekend was VERY busy.  I left the boys at home to go help my best friend move into her first house with her husband.  It was a long couple of days but very worth it to be there.  The first day was shifting the boxes and furniture from house to truck then truck to house.  The second day was me digging out her gardens and planting.  It was ROUGH!   The one garden that I spent most of the day in had been left to turn into the lawn.  I had to dig out sod and the base roots of whatever had been left in there for a couple years at least.  The second garden had been maintain pretty well so it was 45 minutes work instead of 4 ½ hours.  I added peat moss and even got three flats of annuals on sale for about 30 bucks.  I’ll add pictures once I get them from my Mom’s computer.

I’m feeling more then a little bitter that I don’t really have any vacation for the summer.  I have a day here and a day there but no long stretches.  I feel so tired and worn, but I only get three weeks a year so I don’t want to blow it all in one go and then be stuck if I need the days.  In four more years I’ll have earned another week of it through milestone years at work.  It will be nice ‘cause you want to save one week to use as one at a time, and then do a week at a time.  Oh well, I just have to get through the summer and then The Boy will be in school and then no more daycare…NO MORE DAYCARE!!!!  I can’t wait!  Not that I’m not going to desperately miss Sam, our provider.  Just that I’m not going to miss the cost.  $210 every two weeks will be ours again.  It’s going to be going straight to the debts for the next year.  Once we are dug out from those we are going to start feeling like we are getting ahead.

Ciao for now and will add those pictures in a week or so.
