Why would a schoolboard think that giving kids the week BEFORE Christmas off is a good thing? I mean, parents don’t get the week before Christmas off, what are you supposed to with your kids? How do you keep them busy for a week before they get presents? And, how are parents supposed to get all the “things” that need doing, done, with kids underfoot for a whole week before “C” day?

On top of that, Sugarmomma went and royally messed up her knee on opening day at the ski hill last weekend, so we’re saddled with figuring out how she can finish her shopping when she can’t go anywhere without me, and we can’t go anywhere without the kids. Stay tuned…

Oh, and Merry Christmas Everyone!

Nuff Said.

Funny, I don’t recall there being any reports of escaped circus bears on the news….oh wait I don’t watch the news. We call him Smokey. He’s become a daily visitor and the sensor light on the outside of the house is broken so you have to make a bit of a racket when going from the garage to the house as this tree is on the front lawn, in between.

Firsts… the results. What a great day and so exciting to see my girls discover….the skatepark.

Is it real…or is it the Matrix? SugarMomma and I are actually going out tonight! Without the kids! We have tickets to the Gnarlie’s Angels Fundraiser party at The Flying Steamshovel! Women’s Roller Derby Rules!

I am excited today. One of my best friends in the world is finally dragging his ass west of High Park and coming out to see me. He has not seen ThingOne since she looked like this:

She now looks like this:

So it’s been awhile. It’s also the first time he will visit our new place in BC, and the first of our friends from back east to do so.  It’s also a good day because I’m taking ThingTow to the skatepark for the first time today. I can’t wait to see what happens, you see ThingTwo is a bit of go-er and a do-er, not so much of a watch-er. So it should be interesting.

It’s a day of firsts, let’s hope it’s a good one.
