Ahhh, its a Monday morning, and I'm not at work. The kids are at home, sleeping. Del is off to work. And, yes, I'm up. For some reason I couldn't really sleep last night, and I am up and about this morning; even had porridge for breakfast! I'm actually on vacation right now as we speak. This is my third day of holidays. I booked the week off, right before Christmas, cuz I just can't ask for vacation right over the holidays. This is my week of fun in the hot sun, wading in the ocean, enjoying tropical breezes.........yeah, right. That certainly didn't pan out, but I'm still having a good time. It's a good time to be at the rink, and do spring cleaning. Yup, you read that right! We are early for next year!!! This house is getting spring cleaned long before its time!! And as for the rink, between both boys, in the last 7 days, we've done 4 practises, and 7 games. ( And, Del worked his full time job all week, and yes, I worked 3 nights last week!) Practise again tonight for the boys, and then its time for some time away from that hallowed hall! I've persuaded the boys to willingly pitch in with this flurry of cleaning. It's called bribery. Let's get it done by Tuesday noon, and then we're off so they can shop in the city. It's amazing what 2 teens and a mom can get done if you give them the right bait! And here I'm blogging and wasting time, right??? Nah, this is called warming up for the event. The boys are 'sleeping' in till 0830, and then we're off and running or scrubbing.
Meatballs are made-compliments of the boys first chore after school was done on Friday. Butter tarts are in the freezer. Cabbage rolls are made. Now, just bring on the 24th. We are ready for games, food, relaxation, visiting, and all that other good stuff that comes along with family celebrations.
I told a friend yesterday, I wasn't sure what to blog about, cuz our lives are rather predictable. Work, school, rink. And do it all over again. And then, here I am a couple of paragraphs later, and don't know if I've said anything worth mentioning. If you're still reading, I'm impressed. Or maybe you don't have a life either. :-) I can't really talk about work. Thats an effect of working in a small town hospital, where everyone wants to know everything, and if they can't find out, they make up something that sounds good. And due to confidentiality issues, it just wouldn't be good. Work has been very busy. Until a week ago. Our compliment of four docs has dwindled to 2 for Christmas holidays, as they've traveled home to be with families. So, that limits what we can safely do in the facility. But, as always, we are prepared for anything and everything. Our doors are never closed-always open for business. And you never know what will come thru the door when the buzzer goes at 3 am!
On that note, I think I'm going to get going on my project. I aim to make that Thrift Shop pile grow today; It's a good feeling to sort out and make room!
On behalf of my husband & children, I'd like to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday. Enjoy the time spent with family friends! Merry Christmas to all!
