WOW!!

Well, since I last blogged we found a house and put our house up for sale. The sign went up this morning. I never thought we would get it cleaned but it is done. Thank God for Tracee who is my neighbor and friend, she came by on Friday when she saw our house on MLS and said she would help me to clean it up. As I can not pick up or move any thing to heavy she did all that. She came over all weekend and man it looks great. I would want to buy back my own house, but it is still to big for us. With five bedrooms and only two people it is to large. Anyways the fun now begins as we wait for some one to fall in love with it. I am praying for the right family to move in. I know that the Lord is great because He brought Tracee here to help me get it done. With her help, my youngest daughter, oldest daughter and her husband it was done by 8:30 last night. On Thursday I could not see the end of the tunnel and now I can see the whole field. Wow!

Off till April

Off till April says my Dr. at first this made me cry a little as I love my job and miss my kids at work. I have to see a specialist and he will tell me what I need to do next. My Dr wants to give me a shot in my back of celestone which is an anti-inflammatory which he hopes will help. I am fine until I stand to much or try lifting anything heavy for to long. I know that it could be alot worse but it does stink when you can't move to well. So now that I am off again for awhile I am thinking of taking some more courses not for my Early Childhood Education stuff but for church. I have know for awhile that our church would help us as leaders to get more training but with my other course I did not feel I had the time to do it. So now that I do I think I will take advantage of it.

Funny, how I never knew I could actually do school. I guess for a long time I never thought that I was smart enough to go to College, I don't think it was until I started homeschooling my children did I realize that I had some brains. That is when the learning bug hit, because I had to take some courses to learn how to teach them. After that when I went to the Womans Resource Centre and a super counsellor there encouraged me to go to Red River and as they say the rest is history. It was hard work but well worth it, I think any ways. The only regret is that I never knew this when I was younger and had the energy to do it all.

Cleaning

I am now cleaning the hole, I mean basement. What a lot of junk we have collected over the years to much stuff. Oh well, now I am passing the stuff on to some one else to have. I have boxes of clothes and kitchen junk and other things all going to Goodwill. This moving stuff is very stressful as you want to present the house at its best to have someone buy it. I sometimes wish I was not a such a pack rat, but I am learning to let go. I guess this is a good thing but right now I am just tried of the stuff!! thank goodness for Goodwill.

Well, my friend had her third baby and now is wondering what she was thinking when she thought she could handle three under 4. I guess there are some people out there who have more but it is funny to listen to her as she talks about what is going on. She wants to hire a nanny to help her. I don't think she will stay at home to long as she is bored with the mommy stuff. I personally loved being home with my children when they were little. I am so grateful that I did get to be at home with them. I like being at home even now. This is bad because I really need to work outside the home but truth be told I would stay at home if I could.Oh well I should get back to the basement and get it done as we need to move stuff down there so we can put in the carpet upstairs.

Finally finished

Well I am finally finished my theory stuff for my ECE III which is making me very happy. I have been working on it since I have been off work. It is one reason I have not gone totally insane being off this long. I go to the Dr's again at the end of the month and than will find out what is next for me and my back.

We have decided to sell our house and move into something smaller with no upstairs. Anyone know someone who would want a five bedroom house in Fort Garry? the house hunting in scary as prices are so high. One house we looking at that was 800 Square feet listed at $127 sold for $162. Oh well we are off to look at more houses this weekend and than we will see if we can find the one for us.

Peace at home

Well Dawn and her daughter when back to their home last night. I have to say it is nice to have the house to ourselves once again. Don't get me wrong I love my children but it has been a little stressful with new baby here, not that we looked after her or anything just different with noise and stuff. When you are use to the quite and being able to be on the computer when I want to, and not waiting for someone else to get off of it. Jim never goes on the computer so I usually get it most of the time.
I went for my MRI and won't see the Dr till Jan 30 so will be off work till than. I must say I am a little worried about what they will say, I know that it is in His hands but I still worry. I also redid my CPR and First Aid on Sat. so now I am good for another three years.
Hopefully will finish my ECE stuff this month, we will see.
Well that is all for now.

New member in our family

Well once again time has gone by to fast. So to update anyone who does read this, my daughter had a little girl on Dec. 10. Her name is Raign, she weighed in at 7 lbs 11oz. and was 21 inches long,and is the most beautiful baby I have seen in years. It was the most amazing thing, I know that I have had my children but seeing your child give birth was way cool.
Christmas has come and gone and it was a good year, besides having a new baby here, my other daughter was home for the first time in two years. So it was nice to have all 6 of our children home for Christmas plus the in-loves.
I am still off work for at least the rest of the month, which is fine because I plan on finishing my school for my next level of ECE. I am going for a MRI on Sat. so hope it works out ok. Well that is all for now if any thing new happens I will blog again.

6 weeks

Hard to believe that it has been six weeks since I blogged, and it has been a hard six weeks. Lets see first one of my oldest friends went home to be with the Lord on Oct 11. than a week after his funeral, his wife ended up in the hospital only to find out she has terminal cancer. So visiting her for a week everyday took its toll on me and I got sick for a week. Now I am better and she is still in the hospital. She is coming to stay with our family until she can leave to fly out to Newfoundland to stay with her daughter there.

Carol and Allan where people in my life who made a huge difference to me. When I was alot younger they help me to get off the street and see that life was worth living.

My poor dad has gone blind in one eye and the other one will go soon he says.The only thing that I know at this moment is that I am loved and will never be only because my bestfriend is with me always.

The good news is that my grandbaby will be here in less than three weeks, I can hardly wait to hold him/her and know that the world goes on.
