I'm Beat

 Well, the snow is here again and this time it made for a big bad mess on my way to work this morning! Took me 75 minutes to get to work, and usually takes me 50. I didn't get over 60 kilometers an hour the whole way

 

Then I get there and we have had a machine down since Sunday and after my two days off I discover that they haven't put any extra time on to make up for the downed machine and the laundry is wayyyyy backed up!   It didn't smell too pleasant in there, lol!

 

I couldn't stay late though, as I was picking up my son's friend from his school. It's a half hour north of us...he just moved in September and went to a different school than the rest of his friends. Anyway he's staying here the weekend. It's a long one for the kids because tomorrow is a day off for them.

 

Not me though  I have to work till Monday! I'm beat already and can't hardly keep my eyes open here, and I'm bummed because ER isn't on tonite, but that's probably just as well, cuz I can't stay awake, lol!!

 

Have a great Friday everyone and a great weekend!

How Long Have you Waited at the DR?

 I've waited over an hour and a half,and of course had to stay because the kids were getting their needles or something like that. Usually that's about the only time we go to the dr's, lol.

 

Last time we went we could see that it was going to be about an hour wait at least....so after a half hour I finally told the nurse we had to leave because Colton and Hannah would be getting home off the bus soon and they took us right in! It was only for the dr. to check out Colin's shoulder right after he broke it, even though the hospital had already x-rayed it just a few days before...they sent us to see our dr.....I think they just try to cover their a$$e$, lol

Snow and our Parade

  Is anyone else getting snow

for the weekend?!lol

We have about 3 cm so far tonite and the weather man is calling for up to 15 cm!

I have to work all weekend so I'm hoping the snow doesn't amount to much by the time morning rolls around.

Tomorrow nite is our Santa Claus parade,
and Colin will be marching with the school band playing his tuba.
We are supposed to get a mix of rain and snow tomorrow, so I hope it holds off at least for the parade. I remember one year there was a thunderstorm on the day of the parade, lol.

Amazing Race Family Edition

 Awwwww....my favourite team was eliminated last nite

 

The mother and father were so kind and encouraging and proud of their two little ones, it broke my heart to see them come in last in this leg of the race I tell ya, when I saw that little girls face and her chin quivering as she tried to hold it together and not cry....well I'm tearing up just thinking about it, lol, so ya shoulda seen me last nite!lol

 

I never heard them say an unkind word to one another, and even if something went wrong there was no blame to be layed.

 

What a great adventure for them as a family though!

Halloween Pic

 We had a lovely Hallowe'en here and I didn't even forget to take a pic this year, lol.

 

Usually I have to get the kids to dress all up again, when I realize I forgot
Cody and Colin didn't go out at all, but Colin dressed up as an old man and gave out candy here outside the house. We only had about 10 kids though.

 

I worked today and then while we ate supper I watched Beyond Borders with Angelina Jolie...wow...what a powerful movie...so sad to see all that suffering.
