Procrastination...

I really better get started...

Two weeks til a new school year!

This is the first year in 5 years that we haven't all been going back!

Mr. Rocketgirl was done this past winter.

The boys {crush my little heart},

grade 7 & 4.

WHAT THE HECK??????

And Doula school awaits me...

Can someone please tell me where summer went????

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Back to School!

I will miss the boys!

Not looking forward to 5 early mornings a week,

but am looking forward to some me time.

Now I just need to get on that back to school shopping...ugh!

I had a Holly Hobbie lunch kit when I was wee...the awesome metal kind.

Wonder where that went....

too cool for school...

I kid, I kid!

I received my confirmation in the mail today for my Doula classes, pre-natal & post-natal! Now waiting to hear about the CBE and breastfeeding classes, also waiting for my certification package, assignments & info from DONA so that as soon as my classes are done I can "preceptor" & start attending some births! WOOT!

there's a strange man in my house!

and he isn't stressy! or cranky! oh, that's cuz he just wrote his national red seal in plumbing. 4 years of school/apprenticeship all done. 3 weeks til we find out if he is a master journeyman plumber & gas fitter. obviously he passed, he's very proud of himself, as am i.

what a relief! no more school! or is there... UFV sent me a letter yesterday. "please attend the following information session for your LPN to BSN access program." SUGARSTICKS! i thought i had bona-fide decided NOT to go anymore, to be happy with the way things were, but now that i have this letter...OY! possible student again come september??? will keep you posted. thoughts? pro's & con's please.

jaimie is moving away, will miss my SIL. rosie has captured our hearts. roy & rosie are becoming fast friends. spring break is upon us...hope to do some lovely things with the boys...movies, bowling, lunching, baking and i also want to go to that place in van where you make & bake & take ceramics.

i NEED to go back to yoga. I was getting quite good at my Sun Salutations. And my downward dog was becoming really quite impressive. More importantly, I felt....sane.

Monday. Meh.

not even a wave...

Grade 3. Grade 6. How did this happen???

I mean look at them? No nice pants, no collared
shirts. I tried. But apparently it IS cool to wear
baggy jeans and hoodies (as the approx 500 middle school kids wore) And I am unhip. Did I
mention you don't tie up your sk8 shoes either??

So middle school was a madhouse. The nervous hovering 6th grade parents. Present company included...I could hardly tear myself away to get to the elementary school...which was nice. Same parents, (we still hover) same classmates, wonderful teacher. Wonderful little contained
school. Familiar.

Quinn didn't look back. Not once.
Mason gave me a kiss, but was gone in a flash.

Thank gawd it's only a half day. I wonder if they know that I still need them to need me???
