Random Tuesday Thoughts New Week New year

so I'm going to milk that whole new year thing for a bit longer, atleast until February.Random not but if you want more Random clickity click over to the unmom and get a badge...


I never really realize I'm using a run on sentence until I start blah blah blahing away and no one remembers what exactly I was talking about in the first place. I know what I mean but I'm sure others are getting very lost and then can't find their way back. I'll find me an English book somewhere to work on this. I'm sure I took English writing at some point inmy highschool/university/college life? Didn't I?

Well it's ended, the cable is back in the house. The boys are now zombies to the warm glow of the TV in the livingroom. That's the end of my wii time I'm sure, but I wonder I jsut wonder will it help the homework woos? (is that how you spell that?)
I have one son that hates doing homework well 2 that hate it and one that likes it because it's new and exciting. The oldest doesn't have a lot of friends or a lot to talk about, maybe with TV he'll be in the current loop as to what's going on in the world of real or TV dramas or cartoons? Teletoon here we come (that's almost cartoon network for you Americans, but Canadian Content)

So due to this TV thing, and my lack of working internet to listen and chat at blogtalk radio lastnight, I was up until 2am watching TV!. you know I totally should have been using that kid free time to say work out on the wii but again TV , real TV reception. (run on right? didn't see it coming, it ran on over)  I've heard people say Hoarders in their blog posts. OH DEAR GOD!!! it's a train wreck you can't keep  your eyes off and it's also a learning experience. I was totally able to point out all of hubbie's unnecessary collections. I also had a strike of fear when I saw a house with Avon boxes. This So can't be good for the avon name. ugh!  So next week when the boys are in school heheehe I'll go in and clear out 1 bedroom at a time. Anyone need puzzles for 1-2yrolds? cause well I've got the puzzles but no 1or 2yrolds. Anyone?? no. There may be pieces missing.


I wonder if this is also part of why Santa brought that mop? oh boy. The tree is still up but that's because it's Still Christmas in my house until the 6th.  @ more days and the demolishion will begin. I did take down some of the Christmas cards I got. Must make a master list for next year today,

Oh speaking of the new year, yes it's up there in the title, I got a MOM calandar on sale from avon.ca yep! it's on the way to my house By Monday. It one of those Mom organizational calandars. YAY I might get organized.

Also must find shredder.  Also must some how figure out how to remove the "artwork" the boys have made, anyone got tips on how to "save"but not?

Oh oh nad I bring you  back by popular demand......

ok maybe that's just a FB demand thing... Happy New Year again.

Welcome to 2011! What will the year bring?

So did you make it through? did you survive your wild night of partying into the new year? I did because I stayed home and played Wii with the Hubbie once we reclaimed the machine from the two oldest boys. I think there will be some competitions for ownership this year. I will of course have to stake my claim on the Mother's Day give of 2009! ha!
TJ got a Pirates Game from Santa, he's really enjoying it. He's even got his pirates dancing with women in low cut period costumes. ha! funny to see that at 11, it's totally just a woman in a dress. (wipes brow so far so good)

The Hubbie and I ended up staying up until 2am playing Glee Karaoke (can not spell that word without help) and had a great time. 2011 We're here we made it, and we had fun.

Christmas holidays are still a go here. The province/District has the kids off until the 11th. It's really amazing just how long they can stretch out a holiday. I don't think I ever had a Christmas break go this long when I was a kid but they did start late. Last day was the 23rd of December.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in our "visiting" we didn't get a single call from anyone here to visit us but I guess since we don't call, they don't call. We had a good Christmas Eve dinner with friends and I may invite them all here next year. Our Friend has a small apartment so a bigger place might be more fun for all the kids too. There was the one visit from my Cousin. I'll miss him when he moves back to the island for good.

I talked to my family on the island yesterday and today, lots of Well Wishes but really Christmas here is nothing like home. I suspect it's one of those caught between a hard place things. If we go to the island? it's winter driving, and running from house to house and us trying to fit everyone in and everyone thinking we have all time in the world to visit or all the space in the world to bring gifts back here?
If we stay here? they mail everything or send it on the Bus (thank you Bus company, excellent service again this year! you ROCK! ) and everyone misses the kids reactions to gifts. Where is the balance? we're calm cool and relaxed, we aren't rushed, we are but not missing out on seeing anyone at home because we aren't expected there but we are here alone, us 5. We are due to go to the island this year 2011(stop casing my house) for Christmas, but will it be rush rush rush? or will be find the time to relax and enjoy?
Should I really start my Santa list now?
Do I miss the rush? or do I miss the calm? Or am I just complaining? And really is Jan01st too early to think about Christmas Holidays? only 6months to find a beach.  Happy New Year Friends, Readers, Followers and those lurk in the quiet of their laptops/cellphones and whatever else this year bring to blog reading technology. <-I resolve to work on my run on sentences....
