Sigh...:)

One more day and my baby's first year of school will be over. I can't believe it's gone by so quickly. He has gone through several ups and downs with learning personal space with his classmates, learning how quickly he can be sent to time-out, and most importantly, how much he loves playing in the school yard. He will be joining up with the Stepping Stones program again this year. We are pre-registered so no debacle with getting him in on the first day. His teacher recommended it for his speech and letter recognition. He'll get Monday's with Sam until he is in the program just to liven things up for him.

Work is great! The boss is on vacation for the next three weeks!

J and I are still hooked into Vanguard. Not as hard as we used to be...or should I say, I'M not as hooked into it. I'm liking taking nights off from it to watch tv or do laundry...or God forbid, READ.

I'm looking forward to my week of vacation in Cobourg. The boy and I are going there while J goes east to visit his family. J and I decided to do this vacation separately just because he is going to have to work the entire time he is there. The last time we did this it was hell on the Boy and I so I said we weren't doing it again. The next time we all go as a family it's going to be a REAL vacation!

Time to go gorge on spaghetti! :D

Aroo?

What is this you think? She is blogging two days in a row after some pretty consistent neglect? It's because I'm up in my hobby room with the lovely cool breeze blowing in the window and I'm in enjoying my little computer away from the blue boy's room. I love my pink room. I'm also having an "I miss MyfriendANGERAH" moment due to the fact that she just threw a sheep at me in Facebook. :)

I'm going to do something totally weird and play a game of Worms World party.

Blog ya later!

Hey! I'm Blogging!!! :)

So let’s think on this real hard and I’ll come up with some stuff that is new.

Not so new stuff is that J and I are still playing Vanguard. Am up to level 30 and we’ve taken a break from leveling while we wait for one of out static group to level a new character. Harvesting has pretty much been all that we’ve been doing…and making lots of gold from the stuff that we have been harvesting! The weird thing about this game is I’m only playing it to spend time with the husband, I wouldn’t have gotten into it otherwise. BUT, I’m now to the point where I’m having fun! It’s mostly due to hanging out with fun friend’s while we do boring stuff. J has a friend who he has known for 8 years from previous games like this. He and his brother are playing with us most nights. Very funny guys and they make grinding on trees and blood howlers fun! They are driving up from Massachusetts to visit for the July 1st weekend. MASSIVE LAN PARTY!!!! Incidentally, they just adopted a kitten last night. I don’t know how but J talking them into naming him “Potato”.

The Boy is good. I took a day off last week to do Field Trip day with his class. It was to the Museum of Nature for the morning, and then to Andrew Haydon Park for the afternoon. It was fun, in an “Oh my God do I really want to do this again” kind of way. I was given my boy and another little boy for the day, while other parents were given three kids each. SO glad that The Boy’s teacher was so kind to me. It was hard getting them herded from one place to the next, and saying things like, “Stay together, Don’t RUN!” and, “We’re looking, not TOUCHING” a billion times was fun as well. By the end of the day I had a migraine so bad that I was considering making J walk to the school to drive us home. I toughed it out, got in the door, took three advil liquigels, and was in bed for three hours. The headache didn’t go away for two days after. So hurty. I’m taking bottles of pills everywhere I go now so I don’t let these get out of control again.

J’s mom was with us for two weeks, and just went home yesterday.

I’m on Facebook….ALOT! I love it! It’s fun to see daily updates of what is going on with a large cross-section of people. Email me if you want to hook up there.

That’s about it for us. The Boy is done school in three weeks. J and I have an appointment with his teacher for a discussion on his test scores on Thursday. He is going to be going to Sam for the summer one day a week. This should break up his weeks a bit and give him some companionship as well. Although I think that him and Jayden are going to be hanging out A LOT this summer. Little friends are cute!
