Catch up

Well, here I am. This week I've felt a bit like I'm chasing my tail. I sign up as an Avon rep a few weeks ago and recently took on a territory. It isn't much money to speak of but I'm happy for the training and was assured I didn't have to do an order every month. It seems like it will be pretty casual, I have my moments when I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew but we'll see how it goes. Last night my team leader, the lovely Christina, came over and hosted an Avon party. A few girls showed but we ended up having a great time!

Autumn has given us some beautiful days, just sparkling. The kind that make you feel that all is well with the world.
Me and poochie have been having good quality time together while the big boys are in school, I try not to get carried away with daily jobs and endless cleaning projects that could get done. He loves his books and sitting at his little table to colour. I was referred to a sorta playgroup at our little neighbourhood centre. It's more of a time-out for moms and actually called "Time out". Moms can drop their babies and kids for just 5 bux with qualified Childcare workers in a huge hall with toys and stuff while mums go to an adjacent room for up to 2 1/2 hours for a coffee and some arts and crafts or just catch up on some reading and emails....it's terrific! Heidi and I are going together. Not only is it a nice break for me and good for Haydn to play in a group setting but I NEVER get to pull out my scarpbooking stuff. Yay!

I went to school the other day early to catch Alan receiving his excellence award. 1 more to earn for a Principles distinction! He was beaming.

I've been getting some good driving in recently and feel so much more comfortable behind the wheel. Thanks to Lynn who took me for a good couple hours the other day to do her pick ups and shopping. 100 more hours to go!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Justin and Linda coming in May! You guys are gonna love it and will be sure to get a well deserved break and lotsa love and support! It will be terrific having more cousins around too!
