This morning my son and I woke up with the alarm, but we then both fell back to sleep cuddling. My daughter came into my room to say goodbye at about 8:00 and it woke me up, again!! We ended up rushing, but, not surprisingly, we were late for school. After dropping off my son, I had some oatmeal and then I cleaned the kitchen really well; spraying and scrubbing things that haven’t been scrubbed in months!! Then I came upstairs and laid down for an hour and a half. I got up and picked up my daughter from her spare. When I came back home, I took out some chicken legs for supper. Then I laid back down for another hour. I got up with the intention of getting my son from school, but my hubby got home on time to do so. I got ready to drive my daughter to dance and we were pulling out of the driveway as they were driving back up it!! Once I dropped her off, I came home and made shake n’ bake, with rice & veggies. While it cooked, I got a package ready to ship back to Amazon. Then I checked my email and went on my phone for a bit. While eating, my daughter and I started a show, but once I was finished I had to get dressed, because I had to get ready to leave to watch my son’s soccer game in the city. They played in the city this evening. Which meant that I could stay until about 8:40, then I had to leave to pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. The game ended up starting a bit late, so I missed the last 15 or 20 minutes of it. It was also really cold out this evening, watching especially!! So, getting in the van was nice, but brrrr!! We were all freezing!! I picked them up and stopped at Timmy’s on the way home to buy some tea to warm me up!! Then I also stopped at the Circle K & bought them slurpees!! Then we drove home and dropped off her friend and came home. Once at home I just got ready for bed because I was feeling exhausted!! Now I’m feeling done…

This morning I woke up my oldest daughter, before I left to drop my son off at school. When I got back, we had some breakfast and I made us some tea. Then we watched the beginning 30 minutes of NCIS. We couldn’t finish it, because my daughter had to go to work. Once she left, I cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. Then I went upstairs. I read my book and I went on my phone for a while. Then I decided to have a short nap. I didn’t even lie down vertically until after 1:30!! Then I had an alarm set for 2:40!!! My hubby came home from work when it was going off! I got up and got dressed and went and picked up my kids from school!! I dropped them both off and went to the Sobeys. I bought a few groceries that knew that we needed!! Then I came home and put them away and my daughter and I drove to dance. After dropping her off, I went to Timmy’s and bought my Earl Grey tea (2 milks, 1 honey) and a muffin. Then I drove back to the studio and waited for her to finish. I was feeling pretty tired, so I just rested there while she danced. Then, when she was finished, we drove home. My hubby had made supper, so we ate supper. Then I helped my look some things up for her english homework, her teacher called her current essay that she is working on the Deathstar of essays!! My son was on the computer and my daughter came home at about 8:30pm! I fiddled with my younger daughter’s info that she needed for her homework for a bit, then I got my son ready for bed. I’m starting to fall asleep while writing this, so I’m going to stop now and get ready for bed!!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

It’s my son’s 9Th Birthday today!! We left 15 minutes earlier for school this morning and went to Sobeys. We bought some mini- cupcakes for him to bring to his class to hand out to everyone, for his birthday! Strangely, the vanilla ones were “School safe” and were but- freed etc, but the chocolate ones weren’t!! I don’t understand why Sobeys would have only one flavour safe for schools…very very strange! My son wanted to bring a package of each anyway and they accepted both kinds!! Once we had cupcakes picked out, I dropped him off and went to Shoppers I was planning on buying a card and some wrapping paper. The selection on children’s cards was not very good at all! I was shocked! I ended up buying wrapping paper and driving to Rexall. They had completely different cards and I was able to pick up one for him. I went home and had breakfast and made tea. I was wrapping his presents when my daughter came downstairs to get something to eat. I let her stay home to work on her major english project that is due tomorrow. Her teacher is calling it the “starship” of projects, because of how big & important is. She went in for math, which she really doesn’t want to get behind in. My oldest daughter and I went to Sobeys after dropping off my daughter off at school and bought a cake for my son. Then she went to the Walmart. I came back home. I had a couple texts and I texted people back. I was exhausted, because I didn’t sleep well, I didn’t have time for a nap. I closed my eyes for about 30 minutes then I went to the Bathroom. At about 1:30 I drove to the school and picked up my daughter. We came home and my oldest was just coming back from getting her a gifts at the Walmart. (Well shoot!!! I just woke up…I fell fast asleep writing this post! I’m feeling so so bloody tired! At least I woke up and for once when I fell asleep, I didn’t accidentally delete everything!! lol) So, I started wrapping her gifts while she went to the Dollarama & bought balloons, streamers, & a happy Birthday sign. She’s came home and we decorated the main floor of the house. My hubby came home while we were doing this. He went & got my son. My son really liked the decorations. We let him open his gifts right away. He was excited about getting to see his presents! Like all kids are!! My hubby’s friend gave us his old phone and I bought a new case, a screen protector, ear buds, a cord, and a base; all to go with it. He’s going to use it as an iPod touch, not a phone!! He’s only 9 for Pete’s sake!! He was still super happy and excited!! We factory reset it, so my daughter went through set-up with him. It has 32 gigs, which he is super excited about!! I had to warm up yesterday’s super 😂😂 After we ate we had to go to his first soccer game!! They didn’t win, but had fun playing, considering that they haven’t had a practice yet…we went back home and then had cake at him afterwards?!! Then he played with his stuff!! Great day had by all!!

Too tired for any more tonight…

Here’s my little man…the first was when they handed out the soccer uniforms and my hubby took it and the second was when the photographer was taking the photo and my hubby zoomed in & took one. I was at my daughter’s dance competition during both…

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning I had to wake up at 6:15. We had to be at the competition by 8:15. My daughter only had hip hop today though. They did great! They received a high gold and 3rd. We didn’t have anything else until the dance off at 6:00pm. So, we decided that we would drive home and go back later. Parking is $16/day, but they give you 2 in and out privileges. So, we would be able to go back and not have to pay again!! Also, my daughter has a huge essay due on Tuesday, so if we went home it would give her some time to work on it! When we got home, I decided to have a nap! I was feeling pretty exhausted. I’m certain that I wasn’t as tired as my daughter, but these weekends are pretty draining…I must have been tired, because I literally slept from 11:00-2:00!! Then I got up and went on my phone for a while! Then I got ready to go again! My daughter wanted to leave at around 3:30 – 3:45. We bought some drinks at Starbucks and then drove back to the competition! She had to be there by 4:30. My cousin said that she was going to come watch the dance off, so I bought her a ticket! Then I visited with a couple of the moms. We started lining up at around 5:15. They let us into the theatre at 5:30. The dances that ended up being in the dance off were some what frustrating, because the weren’t our girls strongest dances!! It seemed that they were just ending up in the dance off in chronological order, not according to the best dances. There was definitely a flaw to the system!! It was just frustrating, because we would have had a better chance against the other studio with our other dances…however we didn’t have any choice! The dance off was fun to watch, but we didn’t beat the elevated advanced groups…which we would have had a better chance at with our jazz and lyrical dances!! Oh well! When the dance off was finished, we said goodbye to my cousin and thanked her for coming. It was super nice to see her. Too much time passes from when we see each other, considering she only lives in the city and I’m in Beaumont. Then my daughter and I drove home, we got food on the way home, as we were both starving!! Once we were home, I got my son ready for bed. Now I’m going to get myself ready and probably go on my phone, briefly though, because I’m tired!!

I slept horribly last night and had to wake up at 6:00am for my daughter’s competition! So, this is going to be a super short post! All that I’m doing is posting today’s results and then I’m going to get ready for bed. Her first dances were her lyrical and we were supposed to be there by 8:00am! They did awesome! They received a high gold in senior 1 lyrical, Falling (with no accidents this time!!) first place and choreographers award and they received a high gold in senior 3 lyrical, The Village and second place!! Her next dances were her jazz dances. Her senior 1 jazz, Lady G received a high gold, first place and choreographers award and her senior 3 also received a high gold and second place! Then she had her ballet and pointe dances. Her ballet received a high gold and second place and choreographers award! Then her pointe received a gold and first place. Her final dance of the day was her modern dance. They received another high gold and first place!! They are doing super well! There is a dance off tomorrow night at 6 and her production from last night is still in it, her senior 1 lyrical, Falling is currently in it and her modern is in it. Any one of these can be beat out. However, her modern and lyrical can only be beat out by her own hip hop group tomorrow morning…so, we know that she will be in the dance off for sure!!

I’m sooo exhausted and I have to wake up at 6:15!! I’m going to bed now!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning my son stayed home again. So, we stayed in bed again. At lunch time I ended up taking him into school and picking up my daughter. She had a dance competition today. When I got home from dropping him off I had something to eat and then I had a shower. I got myself ready to go to the competition. It is being held at the Edmonton Expo Centre. This is the first competition that my daughter and I have been to that has been held here. It’s different because it’s not a real stage and you sit in chairs in a ballroom, not in a real theatre. So, if you don’t get a seat fairly close to the front, you can’t see the stage!! Or, I can’t. I’m not exactly known for my height! My daughter had two dances today, her first was her solo. She did a great job on her solo, she received a gold! Then right after her solo, she had to change and go directly to rehearsal hall. The next dance was production, Oh The Terrors. They did really amazing as they usually do with production‼️ They were considered intermediate 2 aged 12-13, because they have a large group with little kids and older kids, so that is what the age averages out to be. However, they went against an accelerated advanced group aged 14-15 and beat them, receiving high gold, first and choreographers award!! Yay! I’m certain that Miss Amanda was thrilled, as she should be. They were great! Those were the only dances that my daughter had today. Tomorrow is a crazy busy day! She has 7 dances!! So, I really really need to get some sleep! Also, we need to be there by 8:00am, which means that we need to leave by about 7:00-7:15! So, I definitely need to get myself ready for bed now.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning my son didn’t go to school again. So, after my alarm went off, I called his school to tell them that he wasn’t coming. Then I told my daughter that he was staying home. Then I went back to sleep. Well, I say “back” like I was previously asleep, but I slept horribly last night and I was just lying here awake when my alarm went off, so there was no going “back” to sleep. I tried to actually “fall” asleep for a while. I slept for a little while, off and on. However, not for very long or very deeply. My son was awake by 9:00 and on the iPad beside me. I ended up texting my daughter in her English class about her project at about 11:00 and was also texting my mom about it. I stopped trying to sleep after that. My daughter came in at around 11:30 to say goodbye before leaving for work. Then my son and I went downstairs. We had something to eat and I had some tea. He played a game on the Play Station, while I sat on the couch beside him feeling exhausted. I went and picked up my daughter from her spare at 1:35. When I got home I wrote out this weekend’s schedule for the dance competition that’s coming up. My hubby came home from work at about 2:30. At about 3:15 I started to get ready to drive my daughter to dance. After dropping her off I stopped at the Walmart on the way home. I got a couple things for my son’s birthday and I also bought a sausage for supper. Then I drove the rest of the way home. When I got home I put in a load of laundry. I want to try to shrink my jeans, because they are too big again. So I’m hoping that if I put them in the dryer that they might shrink a bit, since they’ve only been hung up to dry. Then I made supper. I watched a couple of episodes of The Good Doctor. They were very good ones. The last one made me cry. I’ve actually been crying really easily recently, I’m not sure why, not that that is all that new for me! When the second episode was over, I got dressed again and my son and I went and picked up my daughter and her friend from dance. We dropped her friend off first then we went home. I put my laundry in the dryer and hung some of it up. I also did some laundry that my daughter needs for tomorrow’s competition, some tights that she forgot to wash and a couple other things! Then I got my son into bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m sooo exhausted.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning my son wasn’t feeling well, so he stayed home from school. We ended up staying in bed and sleeping for a few more hours after our alarm went off. That was fine by me, because I woke up in the middle of the night again and couldn’t fall back to sleep again. He went on the iPad for a while when he woke up and I was on my phone. Then we went downstairs. My daughter was getting out of bed at about the same time. We had something to eat and I had some tea. We were going to watch a movie on the box, but by the time we picked one, the one that we wanted to watch didn’t work. So we ended up playing a couple games on the phone and iPad. I made my daughter some food to take with her to dance. It was early dismissal, so I had to pick up my daughter from school at around 2:20 today. That came in handy, because Wednesday is the day that she has to be there at 4:00 and we always seem to be rushing. After I dropped her off, I picked up her prescription at Shoppers. Then I went home. I got my comfy clothes on and made supper. After supper I watched an episode of The Good Doctor. Then my son and I played blindfolded drawing together. He just came up with things that we had to draw and then we both had to try to draw it blindfolded. It was kind of fun. I registered him for a summer day camp at Eaglemont Church in town that his friend is going to. It’s only $80 for an entire week of camp!! I’ve heard good things about it in the past, but he’s never gone. So, when his friends mom texted me to tell me that she registered her son and to see if we would register our son for the same one, I decided to give it a try. They moved his soccer game again, to the following Saturday, which is the Saturday that I planned on having my son’s birthday party…sigh. Now I have to figure out what to do!! Once we finished our drawing game, it was time to get ready for bed. My daughter came home from dance just as we were going upstairs to get my son to brush his teeth. Once he was in bed I went on my phone, like I usually do. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning I dropped my son off at school in the snow! The day before May 1st and the snow is coming down like mad and I have to brush off my van and the ground is completely covered in the white stuff! Gotta love our Edmonton weather…Of course my son’s soccer game is canceled tomorrow. In a way that’s a good thing though, because my son is getting a cold and they haven’t even had one practice yet! Now at least they will get their Friday practice, as tomorrow’s game has been postponed until Saturday. My son is upset, but it’s probably for the better. He’s never even played soccer before, so having a practice first is a good thing!! Once my son was at school, I came home and had some oatmeal. Then I went upstairs and read for a while again. I went on my phone. Then I slept for a couple hours. I went and picked up my daughter from her spare at 1:35. I went on my phone when we got home. Then my hubby came home. We talked about my son’s upcoming birthday party and what we plan on getting him. Then he went and picked him up from school. I got ready to drive my daughter to dance. We had to drop something off at her friend’s on our way. After I dropped her off, I went to Timmy’s and got my usual, I had used my new points card enough times that I got my earl grey tea for free today!! That was a nice surprise! Once I had my tea, I drove back to the studio and waited for her there. When she was finished, we drove by my mom and dad’s so I could pick something up, we had almost reached my parent’s house when my daughter realized that she forgot something at dance. So, we grabbed the thing from my parent’s house, then turned around and went back to the studio. Then we went home. My daughter was supposed to be going to do homework with friends and was going to be late, so I got her A&W to eat on the way home, so that she could just come home and change and get her things and go do her homework. I dropped her off, then I went to Sobeys quickly. Then I went home. My hubby and son had leftovers for supper, so I just made myself something small for supper. Then I played with my son until bedtime. Then I got him ready for bed. Once he was asleep I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get myself ready for bed.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning I was tired, like usual…guess why?! Because I didn’t sleep well last night!! Surprise surprise!! Again, I woke up when my hubby was getting up for work and I couldn’t fall back to sleep. After I dropped off my son at school, I had some oatmeal for breakfast. Then I went back upstairs. I didn’t go to bed right away though, I sat up and read for a bit. Then, at around 11:30, when I was still feeling really tired, I decided that I would try to sleep for a while. I napped until about 1:30. Then I went and picked up my daughter from school. I helped her get her lunch (well, more like a supper really) ready for dance tonight. Then I went on my phone for a while. My hubby came home from work at around 2:30. He picked up my son from school. Then he and I dropped off our daughter at dance and went to Costco. When we got home, my daughter had just finished peeling potatoes, I cut them and got them boiling. We bought a pre-baked chicken at Costco. I also made some corn to go with everything, although I’m pretty sure that corn isn’t easy to digest and probably doesn’t show up on my recommended diet…Once everything was ready, we ate in the living room and watched a downloaded copy of Captain Marvel that my daughter got. It was pretty good. We needed to watch it before we go to the new Avengers End Game, which is finally in theatres!! When it ended I had about 10 minutes before I had to get dressed to go pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. I went and got them, we were all thirsty, sonI bought myself a drink and them slurpies on the way home. Then we dropped off her friend and came home. My son feels like he’s getting sick, which isn’t good!! My daughter had him in bed, but he was having a hard time falling asleep, because he wasn’t feeling well. Eventually he fell asleep though. I went on my phone for a bit. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m beat!!
