Summer break with Jason and Jackie

Thankyou Jackie for a wonderful week. Thankyou for burning the candle at both ends with me. Thankyou for all our midnight talks. Thankyou for being my surrogate sister. Thankyou for making me a victim of the "twilight" series, I bought "Eclipse" and pre-ordered "New Dawn". Thankyou for the pool, splash pad, and boating. Thankyou for being such a wonderful host. Thankyou for your example of how to be a wonderful mother and even better a great wife. Thankyou for lending me your beautiful children, your lovely house and your special husband. Thankyou for "Ma-Ma-Mia". Thankyou for a boat full of laughs, and some near missed with wet-pants. Thankyou for the great meals. I dont know why my cooking never tastes as good as yours. Thankyou for putting up with me when my nose was so embedded in twilight that I couldnt pull it out if I wanted to. Thankyou for introducing me to EDWARD. I love him. Thankyou Jason for being such a fabulouse husband and father. Thankyou for taking such good care of us. Thankyou for the boating trip, although I could barely move my neck this morning. I hope you got a good laugh out of us moms. We had a delightful time. Thankyou girls for playing with my girls so well and Emma, for being Sarah's "best friend". I hope you girls will always be close. Thankyou Julia for being soooooooooooooo adorable. I love you. Thankyou Grace for scowling every time I told you "NO". I love your spirit and persistance. Thankyou Crissy for letting me dote on you as much as possible and for being my "little friend". Thankyou guys for a week where I leave my heart everytime I go there and pick it up when I return.

Home Again

I got home Sunday night after sitting in the Ontario airport for an hour and a half. All the flights to Phoenix were grounded due to a monsoon. When we got home they had us sit on the tar-mack for another 15 minutes till they could clear our gate. I had the most horrendous migraine. It was good to get back. Satin was thrilled. She was panting so hard she was making little noises. I did notice however, that her tail wouldnt wag. I figured that she was unhappy that we had left her. Well, that was 3 days ago, and she still wont wag her tail. Come on, she is a lab. Their tails never stop wagging. Their tails can be lethal, they wag so hard. Do you think she is a little bit mad?
I am excited tonight. I got a little port for my computer so I can download my pictures. Finally I will be able to store my pictures on the computer.
I am home without any kids this week, and I was hoping to have a lot of alone, down time. Ha!!!!! What was I thinking? I have spent the last two nights trying to fix my broken lawn mower, since my grass is now almost to my knees. Tonight I was watering and trying to fix my broken pool vacuum. My pool is dirty. And then, I notice that my pool pump was making a funny noise. Do you think when it rains it pours? What a joke. I haven't spent any alone time. I just got 2 of the twilight books and I havent even been able to sit and read those.
It will be good to have the kids back on saturday, I miss them. I hope they are having a good summer. It is just about over. It will be nice to be back on a schedule.

The blogging world

Welcome to the blogging world. I have wanted to do this for a long time. I just havent had time to sit down and set it all up. I am on "vacation" at mom and dads and finally took the time. It is so fun to read everyone elses blogs I decided to create one of my own. I think it has been so fun to read what everyone else is doing with their families. I feel like even though we are so far away it helps keep us a little closer.
