Today I complained a lot and I hate complaining. Waaaaaaaaaaah. It does nothing for my day to fill it with negativity...and it's not like you can leave the room when the complaining is going on to get away from it since it is coming out of your own mouth. So....it's out of the system and I'm afraid I left it at church....I don't think it followed me home.
Cleaning at church is done, and now cleaning at home shall commence. Later....of course. First things first...
I had some extra things to do today and those nicely got done, everything is clean, tidy and disinfected. Tonight, the Cadets come for their kickoff evening and I will go and check up tomorrow sometime to see if there is anything to re-clean....they're USUALLY very good about cleaning up after themselves. Joe is very excited about going to Cadets. They're having hotdogs and a fun night, mostly outdoor stuff I was told. They'll have to dress warmly....it's getting to be nice and seasonal in the temperature department. I think I will have to turn the heat on for a half hour on Sunday morning to take the chill out of the air. The sun usually kicks in but if it happens to be cloudy we'll have to crank 'er! We're having a firedrill too. That should be fun! I wonder what the guest pastor will think of that!
Other than that, the boys are very excited that their hockey starts today. Craig plays tonight and Joey plays tomorrow . They play for an hour and a half, with the first 45 minutes filled with drills and skills and the last 45 minutes is a scrimmage. Two teams on the ice at the same time, each using 1/2 for their drills and skills. They have been playing this for about the last 5 or 6 years. It's always on Saturdays. I'm not sure when Ray's hockey starts but it should be soon, maybe even tonight. For guys over 40 only. Before hockey, Craig has his year end soccer banquet. We've never been to one of those, but then this is the first year he played competitive soccer. We'll have to see how that goes, we have to leave early to go the arena for hockey. Joey will be at Cadets. It seems we are scattering this evening.
I hope to get the house in some sort of state of cleanliness before the scattering occurs. Some things really need to get done first...like getting my bum out of this chair.
Yesterday there was a cryptic message on my phone to go and check my front door. Hmmmm. So I did and there was a great big wrapped item sitting there. I love great big wrapped items!!!!! It turned out to be a scrapbook for me to fill with wonderful things....someone was thinking of me and also sent a really sweet card. It was so much fun! And it just made my day!!! Wow...it's really been my week hasn't it!!!!
On that note....my bum and I must go! Love ya!

Always fun to read the news. Like to keep up to date with y'all.
I must confess, I didn't read for a while either. Too busy digging.
But now I'm all up to date again.
Your going to be busy again with all the things that are going on in your life.
I tought that I would let you know that Fim passed away this morning.
You never know when it is your time to go and be with God.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Love, Randall
By now, you're off your bum and your house is clean. AGAIN. Don't you feel that you're always cleaning? Sigh. No fun.
I'm glad Joe likes Cadets. Sounds like great fun. And 3 boys playing hockey? Busy schedule. And how stinky your garage must be. :)
A firedrill at church? We've NEVER done that but it sounds like a great idea.
Oh oh, Marten just arrived for lunch. And, again, I'm sitting here without anything made. Gotta go. Love, Karen
Wow, it souds like it been the week of people not having the time to be on the blog. But hey, that means that they've been busy and that good too.
I know exactly what you mean about the complaining. I've been sitting here all morning (after tidying the hosue) catching up on blogs, emails, and such, putting off the inevitable... the lonk trek down the road with the laundry. I REALLY need to to do laundry. Normally, I dpn't mind doing laundry, but the thought of dragging it down the road and feeding money into the machine doesn't sound appealing at this time. I know that I will appreciate the clean laundry when it's done. I just have to make myself get off my bum and go down there.
Ready, here I go :)
I always enjoy reading your blog. I miss coming to visit. I wonder if we'll be anywhere near Strathroy in the near future? Anyway, I hope you have a great Monday. Love you lots!
