I'm not real great at this blog thing!

yeah yeah I know it takes me awhile to get going with some things lol! I've just been spending so much less time on the computer lately - which has been great for my wrist and shoulder which had been very painful for months but all's good now! Scrapping - I got to scrap twice last week (sheesh 4 mths ago it was every day - how times change!) and got a few things done which has been great!
Hassles on the ex front galore but hoping it will be settled very very soon - mostly for my state of mind more than anything else!
Kids are doing ok - Kyle is starting to deal with the bullies in his own way and we're off to talk to someone else outside of school about it all, so hopefully things will settle down by the end of the year and he can cope with everything much better then! On a school front, his reading hit jackpot yesterday - he got the book and just read it! We've been fighting with homework every night all year and all of a sudden the penny's dropped for him and he's got it! So another win this avo - and he's lovin it! Yay!

Busy busy busy!

Must admit though I love to keep busy! Well I missed the boys over the second week of the holidays - they were with their father who so unthoughtfully stayed in the house and has now decided he's moving back in - over my unowhat! So today I've been making phone calls and searching the net for legal advice. Filled out 5 forms and will deliver those tomorrow - little train trip for Joel and me - he'll love it - into town to do all that, after swimming lessons for him first. Then we need to go shopping cause he wants to buy Kyle a pressie. Whipped up Kyle's birthday invites today and delivered them to school - considering his birthday is on Thursday, lol! oops well the hols did sneak up on me a week early!
So after the boys being with their father for a week they're uncontrollable and driving me insane - I know by Thurs things will be back to some kind of normality, in the meantime I have a rotten headache lol! But still getting loads of great cuddles and kisses in between so well worth it!
Managed to work 5 days in a row at the store - wahoo! My feet and legs paid for it but well worth it - love that I'm working at a place I just love and with great customer's to boot!
So this week I've busy cleaning up from the hurricane that hit while I was away for the week, catching up on washing, a bit of scrapping in between and got cooking to do for the little birthday party. Couple of late nights coming up - need to stock up on the rumbo's I feel lol!
