The first day of winter is supposed to be December 21st, but I honestly think winter has already arrived. Right now as I sit here typing this post it is minus five degrees celsius, but we also have very high winds which is actually making the temperature a lot colder. I just came in from outside and let me tell you all, it is bitterly cold. Oh I know that living in Eastern Canada we are going to get the snow, ice and cold. I just wish it would hold off a little while longer. At least until the supposed “first day of winter”. Okay, enough grumbling for one day. I think I’m going to go lay under my warm covers and just wait for Spring to arrive.
Yesterday we had a seriously fun day. Not!! At 4:00 am we were woken up by our youngest son screaming that the power was out. He is seriously scared of the dark and at 4:00 am, he wasn’t impressed that the place was in total darkness. My husband found him and got him settled down, but he still wasn’t happy that we had no power. We just assumed that it would be out for only a little while but it ended up being out for over eight hours. This did not make for a very fun day. Finally after eight hours the power came back on and the kids were able to watch TV and play the computer. Honestly I really don’t know how they did it in the olden days.
Can you believe that there is only one month until Christmas eve??? Well, I can’t. I am so…. not ready. Every year I promise myself that I am not going to leave everything to the last minute. And every year I leave it to the last minute. Well this year is no different. I have barely scratched the surface and now only have exactly one month to get everything done. If I sound like I’m starting to panic, well…. your right! Oh I know it will all get done, but I really wish I was further ahead than I actually am.
Thursday of last week I went to look at a 2001 Neon and ended up buying it. The car that I currently own is a 1996 and was due for inspection within the next couple of months. Well I knew it wouldn’t pass inspection without putting quite a bit of money into it and I didn’t want to do that for a car that old. So I bought a newer one! I picked it up and Friday and having been driving it quite a bit since then. To say that I absolutely love my new car is a serious understatement! It’s a good thing that I love it as I’m going to have to keep it for a while. So that is my latest purchase in life. Now if we could only buy our house, I will be perfectly set for life.
Last week was a pretty rough week for my entire family. All of us were sick. So this meant that I didn’t get a whole lot of work done around here at all. So today I get to try and play catch up. I’ve already been to the bank and the grocery store. I’m trying to finish up all my online work. Then I have dishes, laundry…. etc to complete. I don’t know what is worse. Being sick and not being able to do anything, or feeling better and having to do everything. Oh well, I’m sure all my work will eventually get done.
I have a busy, busy weekend ahead of me. So I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy weekend and I will see you all again real soon.

I have to say that I don’t know what I would do without the invention of caller ID. My husband’s bank is constantly calling him. And it doesn’t matter how many times I tell them he is not home and is at work, they still call during the day. So… when the phone rings I just look at the number. When I see that it’s his bank again…. I just let the machine take it. Honestly this little invention has saved me a world of frustration. Now if they would just only stop calling altogether, I would be one happy lady.
That’s right. You read that right. Sometime today we are expecting to have snow. It’s way…. to early in the season to see this and I am not impressed. I guess the only good thing about this kind of weather this time of year, is that none of this snow will stay. But, if this is a preview of things to come, I don’t want it. Snow…. snow go away!
So once again I’ve put in another long day. For the past couple of days I have been seriously fighting a sever headache. I’ve taken pills, but this doesn’t seem to work. The only relief that I have been getting is by going to bed. But at 3:30 in the afternoon, this is really not an option. I know what the problem is, is that I can’t find my glasses. I spend a lot of time online and I know I’m getting the headaches because I’m not wearing my glasses. So…. I’m off to search for them. Hopefully I find them soon and can get rid of this headache before too much longer.
