It’s days like today that make me proud that I’m a Canadian. After two weeks at the Olympics, Canada came out on top! We managed to get the most gold and also the most medals of the Olympics. I know, it sure sounds like I was there competing now doesn’t it?? Nope, I was just there in spirit. Now with the Olympics over, I really don’t know what I’m going to do with my time.

Oh well, I’m sure I’ll find something. So congrats to all my fellow Canadians for their outstanding efforts during the 2010 Olympics!

After the kids get home from school today, they will have a nice little break. Next week is March break and I have to tell you all that both kids are quite looking forward to this. Me… not so much. Normally when these two are home for any length of time, all they do is fight. So if they hold true to form, then I get to listen to a whole week of fighting. Hopefully they will prove me wrong. Maybe then we will all have a great March break!

This weekend was my first weekend off from my outside job and let me tell you all, that I *almost* wished that I had of been working. Because I gave up the weekend shifts at my job, I decided to pick up some extra income on the Internet to replace my income. Well I spent the entire weekend (10 hour days) doing general transcription on my computer. It really wasn’t a fun weekend for me or my family. Yes, I would like to earn this extra income at home, but I honestly can’t put in another weekend like I just did. So I’m just going to have to try to work things out a little better next time.

This past weekend was my final weekend of working at my outside job. I will still be working there during the week for a few hours, but as of yesterday, I won’t be working weekends any longer. I have to tell you all that I was quite surprised at how quiet the weekend was. I was able to leave my shift early both days since the restaurant was so quite. I was pretty happy about this actually. So…. the weekends are now my own. I wonder how I’ll fill them?

For the past couple of days I have been busy sewing fabric bags. A couple of my online friends make these types of crafts and after looking at their pictures, I decided that it was time for me to try my hand at it. I have been having a blast making my own creations that I really haven’t done anything else. Once I get a few made, I will post some pics for you guys to check out. Eventually I will be selling them, but not until I get a craft website up and running once again. But for now, I’m having a blast making them. Hopefully I can create a few more this coming week.
