As I posted on my FB profile, back to the grind. It sure was nice having that extra day off. I tend to wake up often in the middle of the night. The last time I did, I checked my clock thinking, Oh please let it only be 3am so I can go back to sleep. Nope. It was 4:55 am. I turned off my alarm, and rolled out of bed. bah humbug!

Bu the kids are up and getting ready, it is going to be sunny and about 80* so here's to a great day!!!

My day is filled with food shopping (ugh), calling the school, the vet and the patient-advocate (double ugh) and paying bills (triple ugh). But maybe I can get outside later on today and start doing some Fall yard clean up. I was out for a couple of hours yesterday and it was FINE!

What are all of you up to?
Tip for Tuesday: If you shop at Shop Rite, they have a program called Cell Fire. I bet that other stores have it too.
You can add coupons to your "shopper's card" and they deduct the coupon amount automatically. The cool thing is that if you have a paper coupon, you can use that too. So its like getting double coupons off the same item!
 
Morning Chris- I do agree back to the grind- short weeks always seem longer at work because I keep thinking I am on a different day. I have an eye appointment after work today. Hoping I don't need to change my prescription - we shall see.

Krista- lots of scrapping going on
Meg- hope you are feeling better
Nana- kids today- hope your MG has a good day at work

everyone I missed- have a great day!
 
:yawn: Good morning ladies!!! :yawn: I'm going to need alot of :tea: this morning to get me going!! Thankfully, my darling Peter, set :tea: up last night before going to bed, so it was ready and hot this morning when I came down!! :love:

Well summer is offically over here :hurt:, first day of school for Danielle and Olivia, Mya doesn't start until next week :hurt: I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that
  1. Summer is over!! Time is going too fast!!
  2. Danielle is starting Grade 7
  3. Olivia is starting Grade 2
  4. Mya is starting Junior Kindergarten
  5. Lacey has been gone from home for over a year
  6. Lacey should be starting her Grade 12 year
:Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry:

I'm off to the gym this morning, :scared:, Peter and I bought a membership to one of the local gyms, back in April, and were both going faithfully, until about the end of July, basically took the month of August off because we were too busy, and it was too hot. So I decided yesterday, that today would be a good day to get back at it. Although I would have LOVED to sleep an extra 30 minutes this morning, I know I will feel alot better going!! The gym opens at 7am, so I'm heading there shortly for a quick 45 minutes and then home to get the monsters ready for school.

I don't work today either, so I'm home with my little peanuts for the day, hopefully, the sun comes out for a bit and we can head to the park or something for a little while. Then I will have to dream up something for dinner, Danielle has soccer practice at 6 and Peter's off tonight with the U17's for their last league game of the season. One more big soccer weekend coming this weekend, Danielle's team is playing Saturday and the U17's on Sunday, for their Cup games, if they win, then we have soccer next weekend as well, if they don't then we are done for the season.

Dinner last night, was a huge success, and so freaking yummy. While scrappin' with Sally in the afternoon http://www.mscraps.com/galleri/showphoto.php?photo=10233 I managed to get the garlic roasted (ohhh love that smell), make mashed potatoes with the roasted garlic, fried mushrooms and onions, marshmallow carrots and then BBQ'd TBone steaks!! Mmmmm, we actually all sat at the kitchen table together and ate dinner, lol, we normally, have the TV on, with no TV. After dinner we took the girls for ice cream, it was a great end to the summer vacation.

And then the scrappin' insanity began!! :) Ohhhh the fun!! Sally, Linda(Nana), Elisa, Sara, Cora, and myself together on yahoo, heheheh the silliness :) :love: these girls!!

Ok, still have to find some socks for the gym, I will be back later to do personals.

Have a great day!!!

Tip for Tuesday .... while we run and run for our families, we can not forget to stop and take care of ourselves FIRST!!!
 
Morning all.... :rain: here today, but that's ok, we really, really need it!!! It's been so dry and so many forest fires this summer. Hope everyone had a great long weekend and now its back to school for most. I finally got the phone call from the camera guys and yes my camera and lens are ready for pick up, :frusty: what has it been? Three months??? :rant: I guess the camera had to be sent back to Cannon for repair as they were unable to fix the problem. Still do not know how it got broken in first place, but I will be so happy to have it back!!! SIL's birthday was very nice, we had turkey and then after supper a fire around the huge firepit down at the lakeside. It's so relaxing to listen to the crackle of the fire and waves splashing on the beach.

Krista - My daughter has moved to Mitchell, Ontario she is not too far away from you, perhaps I should try to look you up the next time I am out for a visit?? Scrapping with all those girls on Yahoo??? How does that work? Sounds like fun!!

Laurie - Hope your eye appointment goes well, and that your prescription does not have to change, it's always such an expense!!

Chris - I agree with the 4:55am bah, humbug!!! Sounds like you are going to have a busy, busy day ahead of you, hope you get some scrapping time in there somewhere!

I am off to try to get a few pages done this morning before leaving to Victoria to pick up my camera :wave:
 
Chris -- Good luck with all of your phone calls and errands! Does your patient advocate help much with everything? I wish I had known they existed these last three years!

Laurie -- Hope you have a good day at work & that the eye appointment goes well! I know how frustrating it can be when the Rx changes.

Krista -- MMM!! Ever consider moving to California to be my personal cook?? My stomach is rumbling!!! I was thinking about going to the gym with the hubs today -- but instead I think I'll do my workout videos!

Trudy -- Wow, they don't know what was wrong with the camera??!?!?! I'm surprised they didn't just give you a new one! Good thing it's home in your arms now :)
 
Tuesday -- hmmm....

Today's the hubby's day off -- so of course I have a whole list of stuff for him to do!!!

We're going to pick up some building supplies a friend from church is giving us for the chicken coop. Then we'll assess what else we need to get, make a list, maybe price check at the hardware store...
Then I need to give him a haircut, make him shower, and then make sure he goes to bed. Last tuesday he stayed up ALL DAY... passed out on the sofa around 9, then didn't remember the next morning how he got into bed, or anything. Its not healthy for him to go from a night schedule to day schedule for just two days.
Then I have to email out some mock-ups to clients, pick up my mother in law, work on the chicken coop with her, clean the fish bowl, and... ugh I'm forgetting stuff!

Well, I'll be busy!
 
Aaaahhhhh! If ya saw my status on FB then you know my frustration. My computer died. And now I need a new one, but I have to wait for Christmas. Thankfully I have my laptop, and I have all of my files on the dead computer backed up to Carbonite. But I can't restore them to the laptop b/c that HD isn't big enough. :Cry:


I have to look on the bright side- at least the files (all of my Faery-Wings stuff, photos, everything except my scrap stuff that is on my EHD) are ok, they are simply stuck in "storage" for now.
 
no no no! I just logged into Carbonite remote access....and my second hard drive, the one all of my photos are on-- was never backed up, just my C Drive (programs and docs)
 
WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had 10 thousand things going on today...Just seems all of sudden...EVERYTHING needed my attetion...and Miss Savannah decided NOT TO SLEEP at all today!! So that mean a lot of attention for her...well holding her and soothing her fussiness!! She likes to lay her head on my shoulder and pat me on the back..:)

Sooooo.....now my kiddos are gone and I have a few minutes before Mike gets home....do I clean up??? NO I COME TO THE O!!! HAHAHA!!!

So I had a fab day yesterday!!! We did get to have some nice quiet time...cooked out, had a couple of brewskies...and ate a fab dinner!!! Then we watched The Time Travellers Wife....could not believe he watched with me on that one..but he said "whatever you want to watch". Then when I came back online to the O, I got all these PM's telling me to come scrap with Elisa, Krista, Sally and Sara....HOW COULD I TURN THAT DOWN???? I got two pages done!! WOOHOOO!!!

Okay....let me see what you guys have been doing:

Chris....that's a big list you have for today...hope you got it all done and some OUTSIDE time!!!

Laurie...I HATE THE EYE APPTS....hope yours went well!!! I have a desease in my eyes that requires all this testing when I go to keep track of it's progression. It's hereditary, and my Dad has it...both cornea's transplanted!! Anyway...hope your day back to work was good!!

Krista.....Hope you enjoyed your day with the littlest ones!!!! How did the big girls do at school today??? AWESOME I am sure....Keep hanging in there with Lacey....Never giving up is the key!!! WOOOOT on the working out...wish I were as motivated!!!

Trudy....The firepit sounds fabulous!!! Glad it was a nice celebration!! and REALLY????? REALLY?????? Just now getting the camera back????? Oh heads would have been rolling if that would have been me!!! You are a patient lady!!!! Glad you have it back now though!!!

Meg....BUSY DAY!!!!! Hope you got it all done!!! Poor DH...that switching shifts is a pain!!! It's amazing how you react when you are lacking sleep!!!

CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad most of your stuff was backed up to the carbonite!!! BUT OH NO about the photos!!! Surely you will be able to get them downloaded somehow!!! Wish I were techie enough to tell you how....(((((((((HUGS))))))))) Hopefully something simple can be done!!! and as for a new computer....WATCH QVC...we have bought our last three computers from there....FABULOUS deals and packages with NO INTEREST payments for 6 months on a lot of them!!!
 
Well, so far we've accomplished getting the free lumber, getting the hubs to sleep for a few hours & I happened upon paperbackswap.com. So, I listed a whole bunch of books that the hubs bought at the dollar store to sell on ebay, plus ones we've read... and I've already mailed off three books & have three more waiting for people to confirm that they want them! So, in the end I'll have credit for eight books!

Anyways else on paperbackswap.com? I'll add you and always check your lists first before ordering :)
 
Chris- I so feel your pain- I lost some photos in my EHD crash- and I discovered that some of my digi files were not backed up- but - gasp- I have too much anyways

Nana & Krista- you are making me so sad that I couldn't stay up and scrap - dh time- maybe some night this week- tonight, my computer is off due to storms today and I don't think I will turn it on, so I can do the boards, email on my work laptop, but no scrapping.

I have to make the cheese biscuits tonight, and I have started the layout- but not happy with it yet.

Meg- have fun with those chickens.

Trudy- so happy your camera is finally coming home.
 
Made it through the day. Everyone made it to school and work ;-) and we made it through Sydney's soccer practice, had supper, did reading homework x 2, spelling homework x2 and math homework! Sydney loves doing homework so that part is easy...Shaun not so much! But it's better than last year and I'm hoping that it keeps improving!

Tomorrow is Dad's 81st birthday and I ordered a big fleece blanket from Artscow 3 weeks ago...don't have it yet...keeping my fingers crossed. I love Artscow but I hate the shipping. Anyway, it's a photo of my nephew pitching on the blanket! Dad will be crazy about it.

I'll be around in the morning! Now it's upstairs for goodnight hugs and kisses.
 
Hey ladies. Real quick before I run off to bed. My mom just bought me tickets to go to Seattle. Yay! I just need to buy Derek his tickets and we are set. I'll have to pay back my mom for my ticket but we're set to go. I really wanted her to come out here but beggars can't be chooser I guess. Oktoberfest here I come. Okay, well off to bed...sorta. I think I may scrap a little. We'll see. I want in on the late night sessions. Help me get some mojo back after hardly scrapping for so long. I believe I am Clara.Riggle not capitalized though. This iPad changes things. Ugh. I am hoping to get Internet figured out tomorrow, which means I need to get busy on the annoying little stuff boxes.

Okay, nite nite.
