Yay for Fridays!

Okay, so my new year's resolution to come and write here once a week is almost up! So I thought I would come in and just chatter about the week. lol

Tonight my almost 8 year old daughter is going to sleep over at N's house. It's his birthday today. So, technically, it's a party. But it's only her and N and his brother. This will be the second boys house that she has slept at . First her *boyfriend* Mikey's house, and now N. Who has been at daycare here for almost four years. Off and on. Craziness. I'm oddly comfortable with her going though.

This may seem like an odd thing to say, but my gut instinct is that even though she is the one who is going to be giving us major heart attacks when she is a teenager, she is also a strong-willed, independent, responsible, knowledgable little girl. She also talks to us. Which I think is a very important thing for kids to do nowadays. I would like to think that I helped in this, but, I was so shy as a kid and didn't have much self confidence. Brianna is oozing with self confidence! lol She is counting down the days of singing competitions, school plays, choir, class presidencies, etc....

What a kid!

Anyhow, where was I going with this? Oh yes. Mike is also going out tonight, so that leaves Mikayla, Jonathan and me. We are going to go to McDonald's and then go sledding in the dark at the hill across the street!! I love nighttime sledding! hehe

Yesterday I was able to get out to Michaels. The first time in a LONGGGG time. It was very theraputic. I got a gift certificate from mom for Christmas, but I still managed to get double the amount of stuff that she got me! lol

I haven't been scrapping in a long time. :o( I miss it. I really do. I totally wish that I had a room to hide away in. *sigh* OH well. One of these days. Mike built me a desk downstairs, but it is out in the open where all of the daycare kids play. Yeah, like I'm going to leave my stuff out with those hooligans down there. @@ Oh well.

Did I mention that I am quitting daycare on August 31st 2008? lol I know it seems like a long time away, but, I like to have plans. The year that Mikayla is in school full time finally, I'm taking for myself. I'm going to read all of the books that I have been putting off, scrap during the days that I have to myself, volunteer, put my house back into some sort of order, have days with my mom, get my working friends to play hooky and hang out with them. hehehe Time for me. Just me. I've been *just a mom* for a long time now. I figure when Mikayla is in grade one, Brianna and grade 4 and Jonathan in grade 8, that's a good time to do it.

And then I am going back to school. :o) But, that's for another post.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Tomorrow I have vowed not to get out of my pajamas. hehe I'll organize, do laundry, read, play with the kids, but I'm not getting out of my pajamas! If I were eating sweets, I would be putting back some Whoppers and spice cookies, but, alas, I am down another week without it all. :o) Too bad I've actually gained weight. @@ Stupid body.

Life as a woman sucks sometimes. Mike never worries about this stuff!! lol
