where's the time gone

i see it's been a while since i've written. time flies.

i can hardly believe it. at the end of the day on tuesday, december 15th, my husband will no longer have a job. his retirement starts early. i have to wait still. we still need to ready our bowmanville home to sell. it is a project that never seems to make any headway. the plumbing or shall i say, the water system, is next up. at present we have next to no water pressure in the house... it's like turn on the kitchen sink to do the dishes but you can walk away for 15 minutes while it fills with water. the tank and switch are being replaced. the water pump itself is fine.

i'm still waiting for one of my three daughters to remove ALL of her belongings from this house. i think she needs to rent a u-haul to have space for all of the clothes and shoes and paraphernalia she continuously has littering my house. i mean, her wedding gown is still growing out of my hallowe'en costume closet and it's been a year and a half... maybe i'll wear it next hallowe'en :)

we're staying home this weekend, instead of traveling up to the log cabin in maynooth. i get to indulge a little in my habit. my habit is dog agility. i'm taking my 2 youngest tollers to agility house league tomorrow. i'm sure my old boy ringo would like to come with but it'll be a long day as rowdy runs in the mornings and sniper in the afternoon. ringo will have to suck it up and stay with hubby as hubby, i'm sure, will be playing on his PS3... that's what i bought him for his retirement gift. he's having a blast with the new "call of duty" and i bought "little big planet" for myself.

hopefully my next post won't be such a long time in coming.

  1. I don't know how organized you were when you got married, but my mother (saint that she is), held on to so many things in her basement that it seemed all new by the time I had the time available to sort through it all (10 years later). I just hope you don't have to wait that long! I'd help but the distance is prohibitive. If I don't get a chance to say so before, Merry Christmas!
