For nothing seems as it is..

Why do I always find myself saying "another month has passed". It really seems like since I started working, the clock on the wall has been going at double speed, I wish I could just slow it down a tad!

With the end of March nearing, summer plans are getting closer and I am realizing just how busy we are!! I always say, oh next weekend or next month will be calmer...but somehow that never seems to be the case, and I realize that sounds SO cliche..

What have we been up to this past month? We had a nice visit from Jared's parents the weekend before Easter, it isn't very often Jared's dad gets down here so it was a nice treat to be able to have them in our house.
For Easter, Jared ended up getting the weekend off. So we headed up to Indian Head Friday. Saturday we went into Regina and got to the hospital to see Terell as well as Phil and Tanya, Cadence and Deon. And Aaron and Lanette ended up coming in to, so we got to have a visit with all of them. It was very nice to be able to go up there and support them.
We pretty much played Wii the whole weekend at my mom's and thus I had some pretty sore fingers from playing Guitar Hero. I definetly got addicted, and truth be told I think Jared did too!
Last night I ordered new beds for the kids, this month's project is their room. They are getting a new closet put in there, and with these new beds and new blinds it will give the room a totally different feel! I am hoping it helps keep it more organized!!
April is a busy birthday month, Jared turning a quarter century and Dom turning the big 4. I have not decided when Dom's party will be, as we are heading to Dauphin the last weekend of April. But Dom has made it clear he wants a pirate themed party..so I am trying to start planning for that, so as to have some creative ideas!
The Benefit for the Amosah's is coming up NEXT weekend already!!! I can't believe that it's came so fast, it will be so nice to see all the support for the family!!
My big wax and whips party is the 12th (that's a Saturday). It is going to be such a riot, I am so looking forward to it.
Paige and Dom are doing so well. They went over to Sarah F's a couple days this week while I worked and just loved it. I guess Mya (sarah's daughter) and Dom got married. Mya was the princess, Dom was the prince...and Paige was the queen. haha, I love the imaginations of little ones!! Paige has such a little attitude, and I am sure she learnt it from her brother. She crosses her arms and says HMMPPHHF. Haha my little drama queen!
My dad comes back this month , not sure when ..at least he's supposed to come back this month. Funny little story about him. Everyone knows how Glen Ewen bar burnt down, and how Jack McKnight was accused of doing it but he fled the country. Not sure if I told anyone that he was working for the same company as my dad but he is. Anyways..my dad used to date Karolyn (the owner of G.E. Bar) and after they broke up she was dating Jack..I dont' really know the history but Jack and my dad do not get along. And I'm pretty sure Jack is some sort of psycho. ANYWAYS...my dad got a call the one night (he is the night push on his rig) saying that Jack would be moving to HIS rig the next day to be his boss..My dad was, needless to say, upset and said either you move me to a different rig or I am on a bus out of here first thing in the morning to the airport and going back home. Well first thing the next morning they had him moved to a different rig. I don't blame him, I don't think I would feel very safe being on the same job as Jack.
Next week I have the oilwives meeting to go to, which is even more special than usual b/c Jara is being FORCED to bring her babykins with her!! I haven't met him yet, so I am very excited to meet the little baby Austin!
Is everyone else hammered, yet again, with an abundance of weddings to go to this year? I guess I only have 2 this summer, and then one in January. So a little calmer than last year when we had 4 weddings to go to , plus our own!
On a last side note...my last blog was talking about March--lion or lamb..I can confidently say March is definetly going out like a lion. It's warm enough, but the snow and rain has started, and makes for some very blah weather outside!

Lions and Lambs

March, the infamous month of Lions and Lambs. I guess March came in like a Lamb with no storms, but it was dang cold!! The past week has been so nice, besides yesterday and today. I have been getting out walking every night which has felt so good, and the kids really enjoy it too, not to mention Bella!

The kids are doing good. They are going over to Shannon's house now. Shannon has a boy the same age as Dom, and a girl the same age as Paige, plus a girl in grade 1. The kids have really enjoyed going over there, and it's so much easier b/c it's just down the street from me! I think Dominic being around Willis (Shannon's boy) has realy helped with his potty training FINALLY!!! I am wanting to start Paige potty training, but she screams bloody murder the second I put her on it, so I dunno...will maybe try and find her a new potty that's just for HER. Her favorite words lately have been up. Used like up, up , up! And she finally says mom, and she just thinks she's the smartest cookie ever! looks at me MOM and laughs and laughs..oh ya she's one of a kind!! I just love her. Dominic, is almost FOUR!! WHAT????!!! where have 4 years gone?? He is my little man, I love him so! Being 4 ,however, means Daddy (and the RARE time mommy -hahaha) have to watch their mouths, b/c he hears and remembers everything.
Jared's mom and dad are coming down this weekend, so that will be nice to see them. Jared doesn't have any DEFINITE time off for Easter so we will be staying at home. I think I may make a big Turkey supper or something Saturday (like tom) to have with Jared's parents. We'll see though, I have a relay for life meeting with my team at 2 pm, and then a candlelight party at Sarah's...so busy busy.
And somewhere in there I have to squeeze in, laundry and the clean sweep on the spare bedroom. I am so very excited to be able to sleep in tomorrow. I say sleep in like it's ssooo late, the kids will probably have me up at 8 or 830, but that's nice!!
I bought something on Ebay today. tee hee.. SO EXCITED, but I am going to keep it on the down low until it gets here. I am always skeptical that something may be wrong with whatever I buy.
I am in my bestest friend Heidi's wedding next January. And just found out the other day the date and everything. I am so excited for it. It has been changed to the Dominican. We haven't decided yet if we will go for 2 wks or just the one week, we'll have to see what we can work out for the kids. A few more years and they will be old enough to take on a trip!!
Work has still been going good. Full time for almost 2 months now, how crazy is that. It's been hard though, not gonna lie. Loading the kids up every morning is not an easy task, and when I get off work I just want 5 min to myself, but the kids miss me so much they want every minute WITH me! haha
Jared slept in for work this morning. haha , I shouldn't laugh though b/c if he wouldn't have called I probably would've too!
Last week I held a tupperware/epicure party at Jolene's house. It was so fun, she is getting a bunch of free stuff b/c of the amount of sales she had. I love free stuff haha.
Is anyone else having a hard time believing that next weekend is Easter already?? I really need to get shopping and buy the kids something. Considering we still have halloween candy left, I won't be buying much candy...I just do not like giving them it!!
PS--does anyone want to pledge me for Relay for Life. My team will be taking alternating turns walking for a 12 hour period, and I need pledges. All proceeds go to the Cancer Society!! Think about it
