Wow, what a busy time since we got back. Gregor and I went out with Gav, then next day the whole family went out. We are getting ready for out holidays. I had to teach Gav how to take care of the house. Every minute…

I spent the day in Calgary. Gregor lent me his car, so I managed to get to Chinook Mall to buy some gifts for my boys. I then spent the afternoon at Joey Tomatoes, reading and revising and outlining. Right after Gregor got out of…

Ahh, what a day. The kids (and I) spent a night in the tent. It took them a LONG while to fall asleep, at least a couple of hours. I found myself getting more and more upset with them. Finally, I basically gave up, and…

I must have built up some pretty bad karma. I ended up going to the same store three times today, to replace the same item. Two of them didn’t work right. Aaargh. And last night, I came home and found my 4 year old tent…

Well, what can I say. Marnie had a crappy nights sleep ’cause Ryan crawled all over her last night. I offered to go into the tent… I really did. After Marnie left for work, and the kids had their breakfast, I decided to take them…

I went back to my old work (the one I quit in order to take care of my kids). It truly was a terrible place to work. No organization to speak of; the boss would change his mind and implementation details with no notice. The…

Just a quick update for today. Well, the boys were pretty tired today, and you could see it in the way they pushed things. Still, overall it was a good day. For lunch we went to the park for a picnic, and Jared and Ryan…

Well, with the new van coming, I needed to get my license plates off of the old one. Of course, since it’s in Brandon (about 2.5 hours away), it turned into a whole day event with the kids. We left in the morning at about…
