More Bloggy Giveaways!!!

You've all seen me post about Iowa Geek before. But this time she's got NINE!!! giveaways going. And she's a little sensitive about my shout down there. I totally understand... I've not had much time to get over to her place. It's all this damn snow! I'm on my way out to shovel the drive way for the fourth time today. It's crazy I tell you. But that's no excuse... I love what Jody's giving away and even though I've entered her contestes before and never won anything, I'll still play and send her some bloggy love. Won't you? Here I'll make it easy for you... CLICK HERE!

A bloggy give away

There are so many cool people out there who give things away to the blogging world. I think they're just the greatest . An Iowa mom is the greatest this time. She's giving away a $50.00 gift certificate to Target. I love target! Yes we don't have them here in Canada, but I am not that far away from one that I visit ever so often. With well over 700 entries I am doubtful that I will win, but go and check it out... she's giving other stuff away too. I sure hope that she feels better soon. It seems that the nasty flu bug has her glued to her couch. I feel for her. She's got the most adorable kids too. And sick with the flu when you have kids... just doesn't work!

If it's in the stars....

Then who am I to disagree?

My horoscope for today reads:

Monday, January 26
You might have to make some financial adjustments in order to afford a trip or vacation you have been wanting. It's possible you could be traveling soon, but the budget may need to be stretched, because there are other needs, especially if you are married with a young family.

Although I don't think by "travel" they mean like far far away. But how cool would that be!

What I actually find amazing is that we are making some financial adjustments.

Catching Up

It's crazy how cold this winter has been. The poor kids just don't understand that it's too cold to go outside to play, then come summer it's too hot to be playing outside. Never would we have heard our parents mutter those words to us.

Megan's home from school today. She woke up, got dressed, got her snow pants, mittens, coat, hat, scarf, boots all on, went to school... stood in line when the bell rang, then started to cry. She does have a small cough and her class has been very sick, so I kept her home.

Had a chat with Connor's teacher yesterday. He's improving in his reading, and she's recommended that we put him into Track and Field when the time comes. She's quite impressed with his speed. She's amazed at how "busy" his brain is. He's constantly thinking and figuring things out.

I'm glad to be home from my most wonderful relaxing vacation, but I'm sure missing the sun and warmth. It took me awhile to get back into the swing of things. And I really would love to go on another vacation like that. I'm thinking travelling could become addicting!

Adam's job search has pretty much come to an end. He's starting school in February. He's going to be a Personal Support Worker. With him going to school full time, there's not much room for me to go out and get a job. Until next year when Megan is in school full days. I'm still thinking however that winning the lottery surely would benefit us all greatly.

Some pictures and a video... In no particular order

Here is some pictures of my trip... and here is also a video of a song they played while I was there. I would love to know the name of it, or how to find it. If anyone can help me figure this out I would appreciate it. Here is the song, It's not very clear, but listen closely and you can hear it.

Here's the pictures. Click on it to see them. :)

Happy Birthday to me!

This is the first time in my 31 years that I've ever had a tan for my birthday. I'm home from the Dominican, and had a great time. I'm going to do my best to put up some pics as soon as I get back into the groove of things here. But first I'm going to go and enjoy my birthday cake :)
