Gone Again

I'm going to be off the grid again for 5 days.  I'm taking the boys for a last camping trip to Birdshill Park.  I've never camped there, but hopefully it'll be okay.  I understand there is lots of Poison Ivy in the park… I'm not sure if it's around the campsites though.

 

Just for a lark, I took a test for what age I acted (Thanks Heather)

You Are 29 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come… love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Post Holiday Blues

The Holidays are over.  A beautiful week camping and a wonderful week at the in-laws.  I don't think I could have asked for a better time!

But now the Post Holiday Blues are setting in.  The boys are so far off of any schedule it's ridiculous.  A couple of nights back, even though they were in bed at the regular time, Ryan fell asleep at 10:30 PM and Jared at 11:00 PM.  Ugh.  The long process of bringing order back into our lives begins.

My sleeping patterns have also been broken.  Next holiday, I have to make sure I keep them up.  It has been pure hell just trying to get up at 6:00 AM, never mind at 5:00 AM.  Of course, it doesn't help if I'm awake until 11:30 PM waiting for the boys to sleep!  We've got another  2.5 weeks to get things back in line, so it should be okay.

Last Automated Holiday Post

(Holiday Post #4)

Well, it seems that these posts come out on a more regular basis when I'm on holidays than when I'm not.  Joy!  Of course, these posts are pretty small and empty. 

Here are some funny videos:

PC vs Mac RAP

 

Dancing Comedian

 

Darwins Theory in real life (with a can of WD-40)

And last but not least, the worst idea I've seen in a long time. 

 

Camping and Visiting

(Holiday Post #3)

Well, the actual camping part of the holiday is over now.  We spent a week in Rushing River, tenting, camping, and generally having a good time.  How was it?  I dunno!  I'm writing this post about a week before we even leave for camping.  This week, we're in Saskatchewan visiting Marnie's mom, and then we'll get back home with only three weeks left in the boy's summer holidays.

When we get back, I'll post a bit more about how the holidays were. 

Summer 'Holidays' Begin

It's official, both boys are out of school.  Ryan got out at the end of May, while Jared got out the end of June.  Right after school was out for Jared, we hopped into the already packed van and drove out to see the in-laws.  Four fun-filled days later, I return to a messy house, and a project that is way behind schedule.

For the rest of the summer (besides completing the project this week), the boys and I will go camping, head to the beach, ride our bikes, and generally fill the days with fun in the sun and laughter.  Hopefully enough fun to have them fall asleep everyday the second their heads hit the pillow.  Their both in some library programs this month as well, so they'll stay busy!

Time to get back to my late project… so far the client doesn't mind, but that's no excuse! 

Oh, and Happy 4th of July to our American neighbors.
