On The Road Again…

Not a whole lot to write today! We woke up early, the kids and I. We finished getting a few things ready, like I made sandwiches and cut up some fruit and sausage for the road trip to BC. Then the 4 of us hopped into the van and spent the entire day driving to Blind Bay, BC on the beautiful Shuswap. We left a lot later then we intended on leaving…and there was a lot of construction and quite a bit of traffic!! I was awfully exhausted, I certainly didn’t get as much sleep as I would have liked for such a long drive, but we made it here safe and sound!! We left home at 10:30am (Alberta time) fortunately we gained an hour – since we left so late!! Then we arrived at around 7:15pm, BC time. So, not all that bad for me, my 3 kiddos and 2 doggos!! Really that’s close to 10 hours!! Which is pretty darn long! My oldest daughter drove for approximately 2 hours of that and I did the rest…so, that’s quite a bit of driving! I’m super tired! We didn’t really do much when we got here. We unloaded the van, gave my parents their anniversary cards (one we bought and one my son made) and we visited a bit. Then we got ready for bed. The girls are sleeping in the basement bedroom and my son and I are sharing the upstairs bedroom! I’m going to read and sing to him and then crash! I’m totally beat!! Why is driving so exhausting anyway?!

Night All! 💤😴

A Belated Hair Day!!

My oldest daughter and I woke up really early today. I was feeling super tired, because I didn’t really sleep all that well last night. However, we had to be at her hair appointment by 8:30am – pretty darn early for a Saturday! We both had hair appointments for today, but they weren’t at the same time. I sat by her while she was getting her hair done. They started doing mine while she was sitting under the dryer getting hers deep conditioned. I got mine highlighted blonde with a bit of pinkish/burgundy near the front on the one side. We went to the Est Elle Academy of Hair Design. It’s a teaching school that our neighbour teaches at. The student actually does your hair, but the teacher’s are there a lot to check their work as they progress and any time that they finish something they can’t move forward without getting a teacher to look at what they’ve completed. So, it makes you feel confident in what’s being done to you. We were certainly there for a long time. We were starving when we finally left and I was super exhausted! My eyes hurt I was feeling so tired… I just didn’t get enough sleep last night! My daughter got us a bit to eat on the way home, because after 7 hours at the salon we were both starving!! Then we drove home. When we got home we did some laundry. My son played a video game. I packed my son’s bag for BC for the rest of the evening/night. Then I got him into bed and myself ready for bed.

Night All! 💤😴

Huh… I just realized that I didn’t publish this a couple days ago…it’s just been sitting here, when I thought that I had published it…oops! That’s becoming a bit of a habit!!

Nice Looking Puppers!

This morning we woke up early and my oldest daughter, my son and I drove to the city. My daughter bought us breakfast and then we drove to Kingsway Mall. We went to a few stores in the mall. Then we drove back home and packed up the van and dogs and drove to Cooking Lake and had both dogs groomed. They both desperately needed it!! It was the very first time that our bigger dog has ever been to a groomer and she looks sooo much better!! I’m certain that they both feel a million times better! While they were being groomed, we drove around the cute little town. We had planned on going to the provincial park, which had a beach, but I guess that it’s actually not all that close to the town and we wouldn’t have been able to get back very quickly when she called us to let us know that she was finished. So we drove around the little town (which does not take all that long)! Then we stopped at a park and my son played for a while. Then we went to the little local store and my daughter and I got some ice cream and my son had a slurpie. It was literally across the street from where our dogs were being done. They had a covered deck. So we sat there and ate our treats. Then they played on phones (my son on mine and my daughter on hers) and I just relaxed. Until the dogs were finished! When they were finally done, they both looked so so much better! I’m sure that they must feel better as well! It wasn’t exactly cheap and it took her quite some time, she missed her 4:30 appointment in order to finish both dogs for us. We gave her a 15% tip…I certainly hope that is good enough!? We aren’t made of money, but she did a great job and the puppers look sooo much better! We left Cooking Lake and drove back home. We stopped at Shoppers and Sobeys. Then went home. I made supper right away, because it was already past 6:30 by the time I started cooking! After supper we just watched a bit of tv. Then my daughter went to bed and I got my son into bed. Now I’m doing the same…I’m just beat! It’s been a long day!

A Good Visit With A Friend

This morning my daughter finally got a new phone! Her phone has been broken for months!! She’s needed a new one forever…I had a headache when I woke up. I stayed in bed and relaxed and my son went on his phone for a while. Then we went downstairs and had something to eat. After my daughter came home from work I finished getting ready to go and then went to my good friend’s house. From there we got in her vehicle and drove to her cabin at Jackfish lake. We visited for a while, then we had supper together. Then we did the dishes and drove back to her house. We got back just as it started storming. I said goodbye and drove home in a bad rain storm! Once I got home, I watched my son play Zelda for a while. Then we went upstairs and I got him into bed. My head didn’t stop pounding all day – argh! It hasn’t been this bad in a while! Now I’m going to bed.

A Nice Hot Day!

This morning my son and I woke up early because his friend came over to play. We had breakfast and then his friend came over. They played for a couple of hours. While they played, I went on my iPad and got a few things done. Then he went home for lunch. We had lunch and then I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I helped my younger daughter get the lawn mower out of the shed so that she could mow the lawn. I also helped her move the trampoline and picnic table when she needed them on the other side of the yard. My son went to the pool with his friend and my daughter went to get ice cream with her friends. I put the lawn mower away. Then I got dressed and went to the grocery store. When I got home I made supper. After supper I drove to Millwoods to pick up something from Market Place. Then I came back home and my oldest daughter and I watched a couple of episodes of CSI. Then she went to bed and I got my son into bed. Now I’m going to get ready for bed myself.

Descendants 3 Premiers

I think that I completely forgot to even write last night’s post! I’ve decided that I’m going to be far less fussy about absolutely having to write one every single night! It’s not like I’m writing something super profound and interesting anyway… I feel like they’ve become very monotonous and like the background parents voices in the Peanuts cartoons…”Wa wa wa wa!” So, I will try to write my posts, but if I don’t, the world isn’t ending! They’ve basically just turned into a boring, brief account of my day.

This morning my son and I slept in. I was up fairly late last night, compared to recent nights. Then I didn’t actually sleep very well. He went downstairs right away, when he woke up, my daughter was awake and home because she had today off and I stayed upstairs and made a few phone calls that I’ve been needing to make. Then I did a bit of tidying, then I went downstairs. I had something to eat and some tea. It was really quite a beautiful day out! I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Then I went to Sobeys. I came back home and went through some things on my shelf in my room. Then I went downstairs and made supper. After supper my oldest daughter, my son and I watched Descendants 3 on the Family channel. My son has been waiting for it to premier and was super excited for it! Afterwards, my daughter and I watched an episode of CSI. Then she went to bed and I got my son into bed. Now I’m going to get ready for bed too.

Still More Clothes…

This morning my son and I woke up and got dressed and went downstairs. I got him breakfast and ready to get picked up. We went outside and watered plants while waiting for his friend’s mom to pick him up. He was going to the pool with a couple of friends and then he was playing at one of their houses afterwards. Once he left, I went inside and had breakfast and tea myself. Then I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I made a homemade fruit-fly trap, for upstairs and the kitchen. Then I did some more laundry. I went upstairs and had a shower. When I got out my daughter was home from work, but asleep on the couch. I had a late lunch and talked to my friend on the phone. Then I went upstairs and went through one of the drawers in my dresser. My son was dropped off while I was doing that. When I finished, I made supper. After supper, my daughter and I watched an episode of CSI. Then I had to leave and go pick up my daughter from camp. My son really didn’t want to come with me, so my oldest daughter stayed home with him. With the annoying construction, I didn’t even get to camp until 9:15. Then we couldn’t leave until my daughter and the other leaders finished sweeping and mopping the lodge. Then we had to go through the same construction again, I’m surprised that they didn’t stop at that time, but they didn’t! So it was 10:45 by the time we got home! Pretty late for my daughter to go to bed when she works at 6:45am!! She had done everything to get ready for bed, so that when we got home she just had to hop into bed and go to sleep! Then I got my son into bed and got myself ready for bed as well. Now I’m going to go to sleep too!

A VERY Dirty Doggie!!

I just recently realized that I wrote but didn’t publish yesterday’s post! Oops!

Well, today’s is going to be super short! I was literally about to go to sleep when I realized that I didn’t write anything at all today!! However, I really didn’t do all that much today! When my son and I woke up, I was exhausted! I slept horribly, so he went on his phone and I relaxed beside him for a while. Then we went downstairs and had something to eat. He wanted to see his baby box, so we went back upstairs and looked through it. Then my daughter came home from work. Our bigger dog has been in desperate need of a bath, and we gave her one. It took us quite a long time, because she was really quite bad! Afterwards, I did some laundry. By then it was time to start supper – that tells you how long the dog – bath took!! We kept turning off the water while we were doing the lathering of the shampoo, because I was certain that we were going to run out of hot water, even though we only had it lukewarm… After supper, my daughter and I did what we seem to do each and every night… I forget how many seasons CSI has, but I wonder if we’ll get through them before the summer is over?! Then she went to bed. I hung up my laundry and put the rest in the dryer. Then I got my son into bed. Now I’m going to sleep.

An Afternoon Spent Shopping…

This morning my son and I woke up and went downstairs and I got him ready to go to his friend’s house to play. I dropped him off, then got some earl grey tea at Timmy’s and came back home. Once at home, my oldest and I had breakfast. Then I got some laundry done. Afterwards, I made a grocery list and meal plan for the rest of the week. Then I went to No Frills, Sobeys and then to Shoppers, to pick up my prescriptions. I came back home and put everything away. Then I made supper. After eating, my daughter and I watched a couple of episodes of CSI. Then she went to bed and I got my son ready for bed. Now I’m going to get ready for bed too!

Back To Camp!

This morning I woke up and got dressed and ready to drive my daughter to camp. My son and I went downstairs and had something to eat. He stayed home with his dad and my daughter and I drove to Pigeon Lake. I dropped her off and then drove back home. Then I took my son to the hairdresser to get a haircut. From there we went to Sobeys. Afterwards, we came home and I made supper. After eating, my daughter and I watched a few episodes of CSI. Then my daughter went to bed, I got my son into bed and now I’m going to bed.
