Happy Holidays Everyone!!

I'm off for a while. Boy-child has a hockey tournament in Canada between Xmas and New Years, so I'll be heading north.

I hope you all have a great Xmas and New Years and I hope the coming year is full of lots of chances for us all to hook up the way we did this year. 2005 was one of the best times in my life and I loved every chance I got to meet up with so many of you!

Much love to you all.

And one last little cartoon................

*Stands and takes a bow*

Yes my dahlings, the shopping is done!! I just have to wait for a few things to roll in that I ordered online and I can stick a fork in it and call it done. Wooohoooo!!!!

I normally wouldn’t be so damn pleased with myself. Normally I would be waiting till the last minute like the rest of humanity. However, I have yet another trip to pack for. I get to spend the entire week between Christmas and New Years in Vancouver BC for a hockey tournament! Merry frickin’ Christmas to me! I love to watch the boy-child play, but an entire week? And the week after Christmas? So that means hitting the border on a holiday weekend, both ways!! And we’re staying somewhere that has been nicknamed by previous teams as the “pink palace”. I’m doomed…..

So for the next couple of weekends I’m going to relax and do the holiday things I never seem to have time for until AFTER the holidays. I think this weekend will be tailor made for some new and old holiday movies and plenty of popcorn!

Chat later.

Sometimes it sucks being the Mom……

We’ve had snow off and on over the last few weeks, just a few flakes and a light dusting that melted before you could say “Ooooooh, how pretty!”. But yesterday and last night we got over an inch! (you in the east of here pipe down!) Unfortunately it didn’t stick to the roads and cause the driving hassle that cause those school delays.

Poor me (she said sarcastically). After watching the news this morning it became clear that there would be no “snow day”. Awwwwww *snort* One look out the window told me that, but I did the official Mom thing and checked the ticker. And so it was with a heavy heart that I went to wake up the children..... *sigh* ............ AND YELLED:
“Hey kids wake up! There’s still snow, but guess what?! Schools open!! One more day of learning!! Isn’t that great?!! Yeah!! School Rocks!!!”

If only I had thought ahead and set up the video camera to capture their adorable faces has they came out of their rooms… Just precious!! *snicker*

Have a good weekend! They're predicting snow here this weekend!
