I'm Back!


I can't believe that its been about 5 months since I last posted! I just couldn't seem to do much of anything on the computer after my dad died. I know it hit me harder than I thought it would and on top of that this summer delt me some problems in my marriage that have been thankfully sorted out. But I haven't let the grass grow under my feet! I still found time this summer to take the kids down to spend 4 wonderful days with their older brother Kieran in Vancouver and took Bron, her friend Carly, Caitlin, and Declan to Tofino for 5 fun filled days of surfing, bike riding, beach combing, and lazing about in Aug. The house too has undergone some changes as we have ripped out the old carpeting in Declans room, Caitlins room, and the living room and put down the "clip down" wooden flooring and it has made all the difference to making the house a brighter and more airy place! I have done a few trips to see Barb, Em, and Aethan(what a little sweet heart!) and Barb and I did a day trip to Ikea, her for a bed and me for a dresser(plus a few other things!).Laughing till our sides were sore! Now it's craft fair time again (I just don't know where the months have gone) and have been busy sewing, glueing, nailing etc. to get ready for next weekend which it a 2 day event. I think that I'm about done! My mom and Barb are coming up for Christmas. I think it will be good for my mom to be around the horde that comes to my house during the holidays, it might make being without my dad a little easier. I must just add that I am still taking yoga twice a week and am now doing a thing call Nia twice a week aswell which is yoga, dance and martial arts combined! I just love it as its alot like Jazz dance to me with abit of the goddess thing thrown in! I also joined the Fine Arts society and am currently taking pottery classes every Wed night. Its like being a kid again and playing in the mud!

    Good to have you back! I'm always checking in so what a lovely surprise to see a post! I've never heard of Nia before, sounds like a great combo of things. It must be offered on the North Shore somewhere...
