LOL at me staying up late, Mel! I ALWAYS am up way later than I "should" be. Like you said... it's so quiet! I call it "my" time 'cause other than on weekends, it's the only time I really get to myself. Luckily my boys are awesome for letting me sleep in. This morning we had nothing planned so I was in bed until after 10!!! Yes, I am spoiled, LOL! I call it "Survival of a Single Mom", LOL! My trick? I broke down and bought a tv for my bedroom a few months after I asked my dh to leave. So when the boys wake up, I bring them into my room and let them watch kids shows until I am ready to wake up. Some people may frown on that but I say ya do what ya gotta do. We always have such bonding sessions in bed in the mornings once I am awake but before we get up. We are always in hysterics and silly. It is a blast!
What do you do when yu are up late? I will sometimes chat on MSN. Do you have it? If so, feel free to add me to your list if ya like! It's the same as my paypal e-mail.
Have a good one!
Betty :o)

Thanks for asking about me, Mel. Congrats on your eldest being in K. How did you feel about that? Glad to hear that preschool is helping your son's speech and temper. I have had Zack in preschool for a year and a half now and he LOVES it. Though, we have also been walking my neighbor's girl to K so now he wants to go to school with her instead of to his school, LOL! YEAH Grace on sitting up!!!
Hi Lisa! Sorry to hear about the H, F & M. That went through our house when Zack was about 2.5 and, lucky me, caught it too. I was 6 or 7 mo pg!! Zack had so many sores in his mouth that he wouldn't eat at all for a few days (the good part was that he was too sore to suck the soother so we FINALLY got rid of it then, LOL!) and had them on his hands but none on the feet. I could not eat for a few days (not fun when you are pg!) but hands and feet didn't get much of anything on them.
So, for those of you who are wondering how things are going around here... It's all good. :o) I have seen Chris almost every weekend since we met (I think this will be the 3rd weekend that we've missed in almost 2 months so that's not too bad). He has come down to see us a couple of times, drove us down to Creston, BC to visit my parents then came down the next weekend to stay with us there. Thanksgiving, I spent 5 child-free days at my parents' with Chris as well.
Things are really going well between us. In fact, he just asked me to spend Christmas with him in California at his parents' place!!!! I have never been to Cali before so that in itself is very cool (they live in the Napa Valley) but to want me to spend the holidays with his family must mean that this is more than just a fling to him.
Of course, I want to spend the holidays with my boys so to make it work out for everyone I have had to do some fancy planning and it sounds like it is going to work out well. As soon as Zack is done school, we are going to hop on a bus and head out to my parents'. Hopefully my brother, his wife and the twins will be able to come down early and we will have a "mock" Christmas morning with the kids. A few days before Christmas we will come home and the boys will go to their dad's for actual Christmas (he didn't see them for 3 weeks during the holidays last year so it's only fair that he has them this year, as hard as it will be for me to be without them that morning) andChris & I will drive down to Cali for the week. I am SOOOOO excited!!!!!
Also, Chris has asked me to come with the boys to his place just out of Calgary for a week in November. That will depend on what kind of deals that the bus will give me as a family rate. Hopefully it is feasible because it would be wonderful to spend more time with him. Not to mention what a great test it would be on how well he deals with kids, LOL!
So it looks like the next while will be all about me staying home and saving my money, LOL! I am making and selling hemp jewelry (I sent out an e-mail but I'm not sure it went through... If anyone is interested in hemp necklaces, anklets or bracelets, I make it custom to whatever you are wanting. If anyone is wanting to get anything for themself or as a gift for someone, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for prices and with any questions you may have. I have pics of what I have already made so you can see my work.)
So, that is my life in a nutshell. I hope that all is well with everyone and that you will all update us with your lives soon.
Take care!
Betty :o) mom to Zack (Apr/00) & Donovan (Jan/03)
