Save The Ta-tas!
I ran across a really cute site the other day. The website is called "Save The Ta-Tas" and is all about promoting celebrating women and helping to find a cure for breast cancer.
My only complaint is that only 5% of the proceeds go towards breast cancer research. Personally I would choose to donate a larger amount, but it's better than nothing, right?
I think these tops would be perfect for CIBC Run For A Cure!!

Weekend!!
I thought this weekend would never come!!
We had a very long week. Performance Reviews were due at work and I have been busting my ass to get them done, on top of numerous other things to do. I love my job, I really do, but man alive, I didn't think I'd have this much work to do. Everyone from other areas emails me the questions, errors, reports, etc. Hello - there are three others that you could share these emails with- why do they all come to me??
However I do have this slight compulsion and once they've been sent to me, I don't dare forward them to anyone else to do for fear they won't be completed and I'll look like the idiot.
So - my "to do" list is a mile long and I hope to tackle it tomorrow. (Yes- I work AGAIN on a Saturday!!)
The girls and I both had a stomach bug this week. Blech. The only thing worse than being sick, is being sick, the girls being sick and Allan being out of town. *groan*
Alas, it's Friday night. I didn't work today so I hosted a playdate and had a great time. It has been too long!! Once I get back to my evenings at work I will get back to hosting weekly playdates on Thursday mornings. So come one- come all!
I have been cleaning like mad. I don't know why everyone gets worked up with "Spring Cleaning", to me the "Fall Cleaning" is much more important.
a) Soon it will be cold outside, the house will be shut up, no more windows being open, no more fresh air being let in. It's time to get this house spotless before we're all caged in here like animals LOL!
b) We'll spend a lot more time indoors come winter so we need the room to do it. I am clearing out one of the storage rooms to make Madison her own private play area. She really needs some "me space".
c) It's the new school year. Allan starts school (his LAST year I might add!) Madison starts school (her FIRST year!!.) It's a new fiscal year at work (so much to do, so many new things I want to implement). So many clean slates and time to start fresh. I need an organized home to do it in!!!
So - today I cleaned upstairs and started the laundry. When I say laundry I mean all of the towels, bedding, etc. It's ALL getting cleaned. Tomorrow I will finish the laundry and pack Madison's bag for her trip to Granny's cottage. Sunday I will clean and vaccuum the basement and then all next week will be the *drum roll please* cleaning out the playrooms. SO much easier to do when Madison is out of town and won't declare every broken McDonald's toy as being "her absolute favourite-most important-won't ever put it down-I've been looking for this for years- toy in the world"!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

We're IN!!
All summer I've been worried about Madison and Kindergarten. At the Kindergarten orientation in April we requested afternoon kindergarten, however for some reason she was put in the mornings.
Because I work 2pm-10:30pm this was a huge deal to me. I wanted Madison in school in the afternoons so we'd still have all morning together.
Yesterday Madison's new princepal called me and told me that they would put Madison in afternoon Kindergarten.
WOOHOO!!
She starts September 6th 2006!

August 20th 2006
I cannot believe that it is already August 20th. This summer has gone by so quickly, and unfortunatly it hasn't felt like summer at all.
With Allan working in Saskatoon and me working daytime shifts at Reach, everything has been really hectic.
I wake up at 5:45am, get ready for work, wake the girls, get them ready, and we leave the house at 7:00. We walk to daycare and then I take a cab from daycare to work.
At 4:30 I take a bus to the daycare and then we walk home, we usually get in around 5:30-5:45. Time for dinner, baths, tidying up from the morning and bedtime.
I had visions weekends of trips to the beach and mornings playing at the park. Definitely not what the summer has brought us.
Fortunatly Allan is really enjoying his summer work at Stantec and it seems to be leading to a job in the future, so it should all pay off.
Next week Madison is going to stay at Granny & Grandpa's cabin in Manitou Beach. She'll come home with Daddy on September 2nd and then we can all start to get in a normal schedule, whatever normal is!
Hope everyone is having a great summer :)
