Wordless Wednesday:Alone

I am alone! did you hear that? yes that was the radio? And that? the
stove clicking for tea steeping? That? yes that is the sound of my
harddrive and my card reader. Pictures coming soon.

"I'm BORED!" <--oops did I say that?

Also principal told me to stop doing the happy dance in the hall ways.


Silence? might be Kyoot(pronounced cute if you are new here)

Random Tuesday, 14yrs feels like 3 maybe 4

Tdoay is Tuesday and with Tuesday comes Random Tuesday Thoughts. Don't have a clue what I'm talking about? you're new? YAY! for new. OK click this...and you'll find Keely and more random thoughters.


Today is my Anniversary, yes 14yrs ago today on a Friday evening, I got married. Old fashion I know but I did it before having kids? Yeah I know like when does that happen, 14yrs ago yeah people still did that on the island. Oh and I married the guy with the mullet. haha. I'm not posting that pic.

The boys are definitely ready for school. They are going shack Whacky, I still haven't gone shopping though for school supplies. I just don't want to let go of sleeping in until 9am! 635is too early to start the day.

Well I definitely have a gopher in my back yard, I was out to get my bike, and I walked into teh back yard by the mini barn and there on my back lawn is a gopher. It looked at me? Stopped munching on the clover, and while keeping it's eyes on me took off under my deck, turned to look at me again while darting for the tree. yep Darn gophers. Now were is that bear when I need him?


Hurricane Bill? yeah he could blow out candles up here in my neighbourhood but not in Nova Scotia, they lost some power.

I don't know what i'll be doing tonight but we have a babysitter, YAY!!! There was talking of going to play tennis? Romance abounds, and yet I think it's not a totally bad idea.

Poor MJ got sun burned last Thursday, it's still healing, he's so fair it's not good at all. The older boys went to a water park on Saturday and had a blast with dad. I stayed home with MJ, he was pretty happy to have me to himself. I'm liking this idea, totally screamed Go back to school

well I guess that's all the random I can come up with this week. Have a great Tuesday all.
