18 years.

Today is my 18th wedding anniversary. Joe is working tonight so he's sleeping at the moment.

The kids and I hit the gym and then stopped off at the library.

Avery. Not-so-happy too be here.

Me and Syd. Pissed off because for some strange reason Limewire wont work. Grrrrr.

I've been alittle melancholy since returning. Could it possibly be depression or just the remnants of emotional turmoil? Bah. Who knows!? At any rate I'm slowly plodding along, looking forward to starting school this coming week. I'm hoping the distraction will inspire me to write more.

The dial-up at the house is insanely slow so I've opted to not post from there.....EVER again. Well, maybe not ever....but close to it.  I'll be so glad to get back to the city where there is civilization, hehe. Anyway, time to go. Tata.

Blah.

Since we've been back I've been busy making lists and shopping.  The preparation for school starting is a major event for all of us.  My school starts next Wednesday.  The kids dont start until the 3rd. Bit of a gap there, I imagine it means I'll be missing a few days. Oh well.

Joe and I are doing ok. I'll just say that there are relationship renovations taking place. I'm not feeling at liberty to say much more than that at the moment.

Anyway, thats about it for now. No pictures, sorry. The posts may be fewer until I get into a groove at school, you understand right....?  Tata.

 

On the road again.

I'm alive. I know many of you have been wondering.  My personal life (of which I will not be talking about at this time) encountered some issues and I opted to not blog for awhile. 

The last night at Colleens was bittersweet.  I had grown so fond of them, it was difficult to leave. I'm not so good with goodbyes. But we ate copious amounts of food and had a great last night.

Meagan, Hannah and Sydney

We left the next morning. Above is Sydney at lunchtime @ the 50's Cafe.

3 days on the road (600 miles a day). Do I have to explain how tired I am?

Once we arrived in Minnesota, all hell broke loose. I dont think I'll go into that tonight, maybe at a later time. Subsequently we left a day early.

So here we are, in Indiana, at the Motel 6. One more day and we'll be back in Virginia. Much to do. So much to do.

I'm afraid I'm not in the writing mood at the moment. Sorry.

Our last day!

We were supposed to leave this morning but decided to stay one more day so that Colleen's kids could see Syd one more time before we left.

Syd's birthday (11) was Aug. 1st. We had Steven and Cameron over.  She got a watch from Nanny, Guitar Hero from Grampy Keith, a vest and a speaker for her I'Pod from me and Donkey Kong Racing from Steven. Nanny also gave her a giftcard for Zellers with which she bought another game for her DS. She picked out a brownie cake that we cut after a dinner of burgers.

Playing Crazy 8's on the bed.

Yesterday was a Canadian holiday so the library was closed. What the hell is Natal Day? Cmon.

Anyway, we leave tomorrow morning. I'm emotionally void right now so my writing has taken on more of a reporting air. Sorry. I dont know when I'll be posting again, I promise to take pictures though. Tata.
