Lifes Like That

Well I think my husband has finally kicked the habit. He has been a smoker for quite a few years and lately hasn’t been feeling the best. So he has decided to kick the habit. He has been off the Rocky Patel cigars and cigarettes for a couple of weeks now. I know how hard this was for him and how hard it will continue to be for him so I give him a lot of credit for getting this far. Now… if I could only do the same, we’d be a smoke free family.

I have been trying to decide what to purchase my children for Christmas. My youngest son is super easy to buy for and I have tons of ideas on what to purchase him. My daughter on the other hand is a different story. It seems like the older she gets, the more difficult it is to purchase her things that she would really get some use out of. She did mention the other day that she would like to have a watch so I know I can buy her a Jaeger Lecoultre watch and she will be happy. But what else to buy her, I’m not really sure. What are 12 year old girls into these days?

In about 30 minutes we are due to lose our power for a little while. So I am seriously rushing through all my computer work to try to get it all done before I have no power. We are only supposed to lose our power for a couple of hours but you never know so I want to make sure that I have everything done before it goes out. Thankfully the kids are in school so really the only person who will be affected by this is me. Maybe I’ll have a nap for a couple of hours while I have no power.

Well now that it’s officially fall and we can’t get outside to do much of anything my husband and I have decided to do our renovations in the home once again. Last week we looked at some Kohler kitchen sinks and we picked up one. So this weekend we are going to replace the sink in the kitchen. We have a little bit of renovation work left to do in the kitchen and once this is done we will continue with the work on the extension we put on this summer. So I guess it’s good that it’s fall. At least this way some of the work inside is getting done.

I have been seriously busy cleaning my home over the past few days. I have gotten most of the rooms cleaned the way I want them and only have a couple of rooms left. One of the rooms that I have put off until almost the end is our bedroom. So today that is the room that I’m going to have to tackle. The reason I have put this room off so long is because it’s so full of clothes that I don’t wear anymore (like some lingerie) and haven’t exactly gotten rid of them yet. So this is what is on my to do list today. Clean the bedroom and get rid of all the old clothes.

I am so not a morning person. And getting up at 5:30 am is for the birds. But that’s what I had to do today. My husband informed me last night that he had to go out of town this morning for a training course on how to work on hydroponic systems. So 5:30 am this morning he woke me up so I would be awake to get the children ready for school. Well it’s now 8:40 am and I am extremely tired. These early days are just not my idea of fun.

Well today is the day that we go to the polls here in our province. We have the opportunity to choose a new government or continue on with the old one. I for one think our past government did a decent job so I am voting that the get back in. The polls don’t close until 8:00 pm tonight so it will be later on this evening when we find out if who our new Premier will be. So if you haven’t voted yet, what are you waiting for?? It’s time to let your vote count.

Monday is probably the day of the week that I dread the most. It’s the day after the weekend that the kids and my husband have been home. So not much work gets done and they have a tendency to mess the house a wee bit. So Monday is usually the day that I try to get caught up on all my work. Well today wasn’t any different. I did tons and tons of laundry, shopped around for an insurance quote, did two days worth of dishes and swept all the floors. I didn’t finish everything I wanted to do but at least I made a good stab at it. Man…. I hate Mondays!

I have been working in the service industry field as a waitress for the past ten years. I think I’m starting to get tired of it. I have been thinking about making a career change. I have checked out some medical assistant schools and thought that maybe this is something I’d like to do. The children are getting older and will soon be able to stay by themselves so going back to school soon certainly shouldn’t be a problem. So I only have to decide if this is something I want to go for and then just do it.

Since my husband is working today and the weather outside is not nice I have decided that today would be a perfect day to clean out the home office. I have quite a bit to do in there. I want to re-arrange the office furniture to find more room in there to work. But I have all day to get this done so this will give me something to do. Then after I’m all done maybe I will be able to find a little peace and quiet to be able to get all the computer work done that needs to be done as well.
