It’s extremely hot in our area today so I will not be doing much posting on my computer today. My house (and it’s only morning) is hotter than an oven so I plan on shutting my computer down and go hiding in the shade for a little while. Hopefully this heat wave ends soon and I will be back to posting as normal very soon.
A couple of weeks ago I got a really good start on purchasing supplies and clothes for the kids for them to go back to school. Well this weekend I need to finish it up. Later this afternoon we will be going into town to finish up the kid’s lists. I think I might look for a Audemars Offshore watch as well for my husband for Christmas. I don’t get to town very often so when I do I like to get as much shopping done as possible. I just hope I don’t break the bank with the rest of the school shopping. Otherwise, I might have to put the watch purchase off for a while.
Because my husband was unable to take his two full weeks of vacation this summer he has decided to take a few days off here and there to make up the time. This past weekend he was off work so he took Monday and Tuesday off as well. Although this wasn’t a huge break it was a nice little break for him and it got him away from his job for awhile. He went back to work this morning and I’m not really sure when he’ll take more time off. But at least he was FINALLY able to get a little time off.
The first part of the summer I was extremely busy with all my online work. Well over the past two weeks the work has slowed down considerably. But I’m not complaining. I had so much work to do online during the first part of the summer that I wasn’t able to get anything else done. Well now I have that time.
I have been busy researching electric fireplaces so that when we are ready to redo the living room we will be able to purchase one and I have been able to a bit of my crafting business up and running. So I guess this little bit of down time is kind of a good thing. Hopefully it doesn’t last much longer though as it really does hurt the pocket book when I’m not working.
Well my bank account got massively hit this past week. Since the kids are headed back to school in three weeks I decided that I should probably get a start on the kid’s school clothes shopping. I did find a lot of great deals like apple bottoms pants for my daughter. But I still left the store $300 poorer. And the bad thing about all this. I’m not done yet! I still have to purchase all their school supplies and this is going to cost me about $200. Oh well at least they’re going back to school soon!
Seriously folks I’m really starting to think that we were never meant to be a camping family. So far this year we’ve only been able to go one night. I thought we were going to be able to go this weekend but nope. Because we don’t know until the last minute if we are going to be able to go, we run the risk of not being able to find a camping site. Well that’s what happened this weekend. All the campgrounds were booked up. So another wasted weekend. I can’t wait until camping season is over. At least this way I won’t have to be disappointed every weekend.
Yes it’s once again Friday so that means the weekend is nearly upon us. This weekend my husband is not supposed to have to work (we’ll see) so we are planning on taking the kids camping. It’s supposed to be a really nice weekend and if he doesn’t have to work we can all enjoy ourselves. He has had only one weekend off this summer so this is why I am so…. looking forward to this weekend. I won’t know until he comes home tonight whether or not he does have the weekend off. So keep you’re fingers crossed for me that we get to have a little fun this weekend.
Happy 12th birthday Kara. Hope you have a great day! Dad, Daniel, Josh and Speedy love you very much!

So instead of having a Cyber Monday, we are having a holiday on Monday. This Monday will be New Brunswick day. Now for most of the folks in our province, this means that we have an extra day off. Well not in our house. My husband is on call this weekend and still has to work. So although it’s a holiday, we still won’t get to do much of anything. Hopefully we will be able to fit a little fun time in this weekend.
So to all my fellow NB’ers, I wish you all a happy long holiday weekend.
