things

so as the year progresses it would appear that time is becoming more of an issue. we are here there and everywhere on a regular basis but the schedule is now somewhat together. one thing i have added is the gym....mondays while taryn is in dance another mom and myself go to a circut class at this wee little gym a block away. it kicks my ass- even more demoralizing is the fact that we are by far the youngest participants! we also have a personal trainer on Thursdays who also kicks ass.....i have been by myself since Chris was in Vegas and OH MY!
perhaps i will lose a few....
soccer is time consuming and becoming more frustrating as the girls have started to not listen....hello people get your kids in line, i am not a babysitting service! we had a bye this weekend and they were shocked that i decided to take the day off...sorry i do have a son who plays lacrosse on sundays and would like to see him play on occasion...

the faker

I am home today when i should be running a million errands and the cause....a faker....matthew woke up this morning complaining that he didn't feel good...his tummy hurt etc. i knew right then and there he was faking but when pushed to go to school the meltdown ensued.......fast forward....the faker is caught....i pretended to leave to go vote but stood by the stairs...out he came down the stairs skipping and humming only to find ME...hahahahahahaha caught. I am way smarter that a 5th grader!
hope everyone had good turkey!

I really do suck at this whole blogging thing....today I am home sick with the cold I have been fighting off for 2 weeks but alas yesterday it caught me.....

Back to school came and went and now we are into the nitty gritty of schedules...drop here, pick up there, go back and get from here...the taxi service is now open for business.
I see other families all organized and happy and then i see us in a constant state of kaos. I have made the schedules, the meal plans, the chore lists and they work for a bit but then something always arrives to mix it all up.

On the 17th Darren and I are heading up to Whistler for the weekend. Darren is going to the BCMLA general meeting and i have decided to tag along for a mini vacation. I have to thank my mom for this because she is going to have to deal with the kids and their crazy schedule. It will be nice to not have to go anywhere and do anyhting if I don't want to...perhaps I will visit a spa or even just lay in bed all day and doze while Darren is at his meetings.......

okay the neo-citron is setting in and i believe i am going to go lie down now...take care
