Too Much going on.

Well life certainly can get busy. I haven't blogged in I don't know how long.

Seb started football in June, (number 2)

Jassy finished dance, then school ended. We are now back in school and the kids are in Grades 3 & 5. Both are enjoying it so far. Jassy starts dance classes again this Saturday.

I've been trying to knit and sew. Have several projects on the go. One was a football helmet dishcloth which I would like to make a few more. In Silver (grey), Blue and Burgundy. Then package them for the silent auction for the football association.

Also just finished a football dishcloth. Have lots of sewing to do. I'm even making lanyards for the football team.

Earth Day

Pass it on

Quarter of a year gone already

How can we be almost a 1/4 done the year already? Its been a long time since I posted. Been just trucking along. Business has been slow but that's because of me.

Been trying to get my house organized but I seem to be losing. I need some help I think. A boot in the butt, so to speak.

Jassy has been working on her dance class routines for Festival and year end recital. Seb started his football spring camp on Sundays at the beginning of the month. I've started with a small group at church. So things are getting busier. About the only days we don't have something is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But you never know what might pop up.

We finally started doing cakes for $$. Here's the first one we did. The boy it was for is a great big Oliers fan, and he also plays hockey and his # is 13. So Dave incorporated that all together.

Primerica's 2009 Kick Off

WOW, what a great weekend this was. We headed to Calgary early Saturday morning as a team. Got there long before the Kick Off was to start as our RVP's had a meeting before hand. Well I got to sneak in and find out a few things for myself. So much coming our way that it's still hard to believe it all. It will make business so much easier.

The Kick Off was full of lots of energy and info. Getting to see so many people in one place and finding out how the industry is doing was very uplifting. While the competition has been hit hard with the economy, we are building strong.

This weekend has shown me that there is nothing holding me back but myself. I have decided that I need to get my butt moving and build my team. I need to get my next promotion before the Convention in June. I need to be at Convention. So here is to a great year ahead and a lot of self improvement also.

Where has the time gone.

Wow, its been almost a month since my last detailed post. I'm not counting the Merry Christmas post.

Well the kids had a great Christmas. They seem to have gotten everything they wanted. Sebastian was a hard one to buy for as it was just football and monster trucks related that he wanted. Jasmine was a little easier but barbies, LPS, and Polly Pocket are easy. Amanda, we didn't want to get babies for as we have lots of those.

Santa brought a Wii fit, Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii and a Leapster2 and game. Otherwise Seb got football kicking supplies from the states, Jassy got her barbies and Littlest Pet Shop. Amanda got some Dora things. All the kids got pillows, Seb a football and the girls bright pick poodle fabric ones.

One of our cats, Cupcake also enjoyed the football pillow.

I got a few things for knitting and other things.

I did get out for a little on New Years Eve. I took the kids over to a friend's house and her boys and my kids got to play til about 11pm then the youngest wanted to go home. It was a great time and visit, Thanks Christine.

So far this year I've been taking it easy. Not even sure I have set any resolutions. I've been thinking what I want to set but nothing big comes to mine. I guess if I don't set any, can't break any.

Have been using the Wii fit to work out on and have started to watch what I eat. I want to loose a few pounds (15-20lbs) and feel better.

Wanting to get more into my knitting, crocheting and get back into my cross stitching this year. So look for some posts on that. Still learning and only doing simple items. Would love to knit myself a sweater or even some socks. Big ambitions.

Well that's about it for now. Have a great month.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Everyone and a

Happy New Year.

Pre Christmas

Well it sure has been a long time. Just not much to talk about these days.

Did finally get a day home child. A little girl who will be 5 in Feb. Her and Amanda get along just great. Last night had an interview for two brothers. They will be starting in January after their Christmas holidays. So my hubby feels great about it, means less stress on him. just more on me I guess. Also come January I wont be able to leave the house during the day, the car is too small to take 4 kids. Boy he better be ready for me to be going out in the evenings more then.

I decided to do the day home agency's cookie exchange and now have to make 10 dozen cookies before Tuesday, (20 participants at 1/2 dozen each). And then my clothing club is also doing an exchange the following Saturday (about 10 or 11 dozen cookies there). I've decided to make some Peanut Butter Munchies for the exchanges.
I guess I should be getting that baking started.

Tomorrow is the kids Christmas Concert at school. Both kids are excited for it. Next week on Tuesday during the day is the day home agency's Christmas party. Taking the girls so they can see Santa. On Sunday, Dec 14th my youngest nephew turns 1 year old. It's so hard to believe its been one year since he was born. My sister is having a bday party for him, not sure if its just family or if friends are coming too.

I have been trying to work on some crochet projects, but I don't always get the time I want. Got a baby blanket I need to mail out as it's a few months late. And want to have another done by Christmas. I've been enjoying the craft and want to start expanding out to doing more with knitting and maybe even get into spinning.

The next few weeks will be busy. Will try to keep updated but don't be surprised if you don;t see me for another month again.
