Life goes on...

It speeds past us quick as lighting...That's as poetic as I get.

We are so busy...running all the time. I consciously try to slow down and take it easy but it's almost impossible! It doesn't help when you don't feel good either. Last week, I was soooooo dizzy all the time. I have never been that dizzy in my life!! It was horrible. I figured it had something to do with my new diet. (For those who don't follow my blog...it's not a fad weight loss diet, it's to get my pancreas and adrenal glands working again so I can go back to living!)

I called my naturopath and she said make sure you eat enough... eat protein every 2 hours. Well I've been much better since Saturday. Today I actually had enough energy to play with the kids!!! Yesterday we few kites!! I hope I keep climbing that slope!

Easter bunny was here yesterday..didn't leave anything for me but I stole a few from the kids ;-)

Rebecca was here to play with the kids today...they had loads of fun. Alex got a new bigger bike from Noémie, the neighbor who got a bigger bike. She got last year's purple Brats bike, it's like new!! She loves it...she didn't even want to bring her small one home! I'll take photos when I get a chance. Speaking of which, I'm downloading photos from my camera and the kids were at the Museum of Science and Technology with their Dad last week and I hadn't even seen the photos!! I'm shocked...Dad too really good photos!! Scrapbooking photos!! And Alex looks so old!!!

Mellow day today

So folks...It's 10:10PM and I still have 5 loads of laundry to fold (did I mention Alex changes her clothes 5 times a day??), lunches, snacks and my special breakfast before I go to bed...I guess we're eating out for lunch tomorrow :-)

Scrap (ed) Weekend!

We have been planning this weekend for months, been counting sleeps; finally away in a cottage, without kids, scrapping, 1 whole weekend...too good to be true...well it was.

Started out great. The rented house was great; huge! Deer all over the place, by a lake, etc.

So we got settled Friday afternoon, scrapped Friday night...slept really well. Saturday morning, up and raring to scrap all day. We sit down to start, an old man comes to the door, say she 's a neighbor and lets us know the road is washed out on one side of us an flooded on the other!!

If we want to go, we need to go soon. So some girls start to panick...some go out to see, come back and say we have 1 hour to pack and get out of here. Well it had taken us 2 HOURS to unpack!! 10 minutes later we're all packed, but some girls who had left come back and say we can't go, it's blocked. Anyways, some of us decide to go out and see. Turns out a local is driving through it no problem, but he says it's only getting worse and you may not be able to get out tomorrow. So since we were already all packed we decide to make a run for it. The guy leads us out (btw, there are still really nice, helpful people out there...Merci Denis!) and we make it.

Half of the girls stayed and waited for the police to escort them out. I think they're still there...

needless to say, we're kind of pissed. So we decide to go to my house and scrap. Everyone stayed till late last night and a few came back today. If you're a mother, you will know that once you are in town...it's really hard to get away from the husband and kids...that's why we had to go in the middle of nowhere to start with!!

We ended up having a nice weekend anyways but not nearly as relaxing as we had hoped...we will surely be planning another one for the fall...there is no thaw in the fall...
