Was up at 5:30 with Pierre this morning. Folded laundry and went back to bed for a brief nap.   Of course the kids came downstairs shortly after that and I probably got about an hour of sleep.  But I can't sleep my whole life away can I?  Received a message from Cy.  He will be back home soon and I can start admiring his away messages again.  lol  I am a bit disappointed that I didn't get to meet him but....hell three or four is a crowed ehh?  And I am sure he wanted to spend as much time alone with Sarah as he could.

Let me see......what else........the boys came back from their Dad's on Saturday, but i had gone to Morrisburg with my Grandmother to do some research on the family tree.  I got a bit of info.  I need to put it into my Family Tree Maker (program) as of yet.  And I will need to get back to Morrisburg again to do some more.  It is tedious work.  But I enjoy doing it.   Sooooo......when i got home the boys where here all excited to see me and stuff.   I was glad they were back for about an hour.  Then they thought they could do whatever they wanted and bouncing off the walls....so.....the next 2 hours i thought why don't they just stay at their dad's....i could be a perfect mother a few times a year and save me a truck load of money.  Course I don't really mean that.  But the thought sometimes is entertaining. lol   This week the church has a catechism for kids (like Sunday school) the kids are there this morning.  I have plans to take them to ceramics sometime maybe this week but for sure next week.  I thought they would enjoy doing the painting.  I thought I would give it a whirl too.  I also promised to take Josh shopping for some new school clothes, since I'm not sure any more about what to buy him.  I want to make sure he is getting colours and styles he likes.

I also bought a few decorations and am getting more idea's about what I want to do with the wedding .  I am having a hard time deciding on a theme.  Which in turn leaves me with two options for invitations at this time.   I was thinking of scanning them and getting my friends out on the net to let me know what they think.  I am one of the worst people to make a decision.  The more options I have usually the worse it is  *shrugs*  but I am having fun with it at this time.  I want to start putting stuff up about it so i can share with everyone out there who is my friend and they can feel a part of it.  I know Joti is one of those people.  I do believe i mentioned that in a previous letter.

Did i ever mention.......my dad having cancer......well if i didn't.....it's not a big deal cause he is much better now after his treatments and is going to be going back to work soon.  Mentioning work......I hope to be going there myself soon.  I got to help poor Pierre out with the bills somehow....instead of spending his hard earned money on decorations and such ehh?  tee-hee

Best be running i suppose ehh?

lots of love
