Back to the hear and now...yeah. Remember that?
Anyhoo....Hope and I made it home from our lovely jaunt up to the great white north. We ate and ate.....visited....worked...rested and had a great time. Why is it so good to just sit and pee yoru pants laughing over dumb stuff with your OWN family? It was a special time...much needed for me. I needed some hugs and butt pinches from people who know me..and love me anyway. It is a special thing to have people in your life that knew you most of your life.... all of the embarrassing things you did...bad and good choices....tears and laughter. I am blessed with many people like that in my life and I am truly grateful for those relationships. I wish I could travel all over the place and see them all....but you remain in my heart always. I have even been lucky to make friends everywhere we have lived....i am reminded to keep in touch wiht all of those I have known and loved...everyone else...can bugger off. just kidding. getting too serious there!
Ok..Canada. My loves of you: food first: Fries Supreme....so good. Wake up USA!
Ukrainian ladies that make a mean perogie
Pizza and wings.....SO MUCH BETTER
Chicken Chow Mein how I like it: Bean
Sprouts instead of gross noodles.
I like polite people who don't have guns
Trees...big beautiful trees everywhere
Friends and family ofcourse...
Fresh water beaches.....sooo nice.
Cool breezes....except on those record
breaking days...... just my luck!
Here is what bugs: The 5 different garbage bins...compost, paper, plastic, organics, whatever else...holy crap. My mom decides to tell me AFTER I chop down a bunch of huge branches that I must then chop it all into tiny pieces to fit into a bin. Too green for me.
Charging me for plastic bags at the grocery store. not cool.
The clothes....people were hurting. could have been the people of the area I was in...but I saw very little cuteness.
The cost of food and clothes....maybe that is why they were so hurtin....I have never been so grateful for Ross in my life. Poor Canadians....you gotta spend an awful lot to look good and eat healthy!
The USA bashing. - could have just been my folks...but sheesh...HATERS!
I am sure nobody really cares about my like and dislikes...so I will move on.
We are heading tonight to the end of season party for our little swimmers. Luke Hope and Ella swam their little hearts out all summer. So proud of them and their ribbons and improvements. It was nice to not have to drive so far this year.
The kids all start school here on Wednesday. Luke, the 6th grade and Hope, the 5th. Crazy! I am looking forward to more routines....but also sad to give up the freedom that summer allows. Luke and Hope are at the middle school this year...leaving Ella alone at the elementary school. Ella goes all day this year for first grade.....something little Miss Sadie will no doubt have a hard time with. Ella isn't much of a morning person....so I am sure it will be an adjustment for her. I got her up earlier today....and will every day until then to help her get used to it. We will miss her here at home.
If you have read this far through all of my boring details, I will reward your patience with a little tidbit of juicy news. I am pregnant. Don't know many details other than that I am, and I feel like crap everyday and we have no health insurance.
I haven't felt that great....wondering if I might miscarry....but I figure if you read this blog...you probably care about me, and will be there for me either way. So, onboard we all are together!

Yeah! I do care about you! I read all the way to the end, and didn't think a lick of it was boring! I always love when you post and to find out what is happenbing with you guys. That is crazy that the kids have already started school. And I didn't realize that you took Hope with you to Canada. I bet that was really fun. We miss you guys! Hope you start feeling better. Glad you had fun on your trip.
Got the message loud and clear: more butt pinching from me is needed. I will try and work on that.
I sure hope you can feel better soon! We're praying that all will go well!
Holy Crap Care!!! Congrats! I hope all goes well.
I liked reading your likes and dislikes even though I already heard about them in person. I love your sense of humor. Excited for another cute little Jardine. Maybe another boy to join the ranks?? Hoping the pregnancy goes well and that you're feeling better soon! Love ya!
