Hey girls. Well, things are crazy busy, but we all like it here. I miss the city of Lethbridge just because it is smaller and not as busy as Red Deer, but we don't actually go into the city very often, so it works out okay. There is a really cool dog park there called Three Mile Bend where there are paths, ponds and the river and dogs are allowed to run like crazy. We took Serena's bike there and she rode and dogs ran and I got to walk really fast which was fun. The dogs LOVE it there.
I'm having trouble keeping up with my school work, but I'll get through it eventually. Serena is excelling in her class. We work with her all of the time on her words and she is doing well. Her guitar is coming along too.
HH's new job is awesome and I am so glad that he switched. Pay is a little less, but hours are better and there is a schedule! He goes to a clinic to renew his referee ticket in a couple of weeks and then he'll be busy with that when he isn't working. Not a bad way to make some extra cash - they are starved for refs out here.
My new soccer team is called the Hustlers - go figure - they seem like a good bunch and I think we'll have fun. I scored a goal in the first scrimmage, so I'm guessing they'll keep me. I think they are better than the team I played on last year which will challenge me more.
Spazz - I am glad that you are not coming until after the long weekend - we will be at the farm for the weekend, so I would've missed your visit. HH is working through the weekend of your visit, so I will be bringing Serena to do whatever it is that we are doing - if it is an evening out for the grown-ups, I may have to leave her with Onnie! I might have soccer either Friday night or Sunday night, but I won't know the schedule until this week. I'm excited for you and your promotion. New jobs and challenges suck in one way, but they are cool in another way. I usually like my job, sometimes I just hate working for a living - it gets in the way! Good on you for growing - you will be smarter than the rest of us in no time.
Dana - I sure hope that being at home is not driving you crazy. I loved it, but some people don't. I guess it has its days. Must be going fast already! I think it is awesome that you can spend the whole year at home. Is Teags still going to daycare sometimes like you had hoped? Betcha don't miss school right now!
ROQ - I think you need some serious time for you before you end up on happy pills and vodka. Don't think I'm rude, but truly, there is nothing wrong with an outside opinion. I've used counselling before and for some reason they make the simplest answers out of the biggest problems. You just seem so stressed and unhappy right now. We all hate to see you down because we all care. That's what HOs are for. I know first hand that having the house of your dreams doesn't make it the home of your dreams. You've had a really stressful year with your parents illnesses, Tylar's family moving, you moving twice (including building a house) and the added bonus of not really liking Strathmore that much. Please take time to look after your happiness. Stasi - help me out with this one - you have the life counselling expertise!
Remember,
NORMAL IS JUST A SETTING ON A WASHING MACHINE!
