A really quick update
June is insanity. It always has been and no matter how hard I try and prepare I still end up frazzled. Two kid birthdays, exams, end of school... the list goes on. here is a warp speed update
I dropped the restaurant contract at the end of June. I am SO relieved! After 18 months of no life and plenty of migraines, I quite blissfully severed the contract. I was tired of weekend evenings spent crunching numbers and reconciling everyones mess. In 2 short weeks I can rejoin the living! The first thing I'm doing is spending a Friday night downtown on a patio with a bottle of Creekside, people watching.
This has been Drews birthday week. Last night was her family dinner. We bought her an electric dirt bike and the look on her face when she saw it was worth a million dollars. Forget cake, forget presents, forget goodbyes. She rode that bike until the last drop of battery juice was gone.
Saturday is the big party. I bought out 2 rows in the dug out for the pro baseball league game.
14 boys... and Drew. I'm going to need a sedative by the 4th Inning. Nawww, its going to be fantastic.
Jess turns 16 next week. She informed me that her dream present was a $1200 yellow Channel purse. I think my puddle of pee on the floor from laughing so hard made it apparent that she wasn't getting it. We're having her family dinner next Friday and everyone has already asked if I can please please please throw some sort of meat on the grill as they don't think they can stomach the vegan lasagna Jess has requested. Suck it up I say... eat the tofu and rice cheese and love it. She didn't want a birthday party ( I know, I was shocked too) and instead asked to kidnap me for the day. Its actually pretty sweet. She has spent alot of time researching what she wants to do with old mom. So far, shopping, a rickshaw ride through downtown, lunch at a vegan cafe in the market, the art gallery and henna tattoos. I'm up for that. I actually love hanging out with this kid. She makes me laugh like no one else can and her view of the world always amazes me.
School is out in a week. We've been busy planning July's vacations. August is already full with Drews training camp for hockey so all getaways are scheduled for July. We have a family reunion first week of July and a few canoe/camping trips scheduled. I'd like to get to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and of course Wonderland.
Thats it for quick updates. An intelligent, thought provoking post will find its way to this blog soon. I promise.
