The girls were out yesterday with their dad at Mission Creek salmon run. And I was at Uni class. An enjoyable hot and sunny day with a variety of profs talking about their research–some I found very interesting and others…well, a little flaky. Meeting several interesting fellow students and a few oddities that are tres rude. But the majority very polite and nice. Excited as my dream research project just might be feasible—Okanagan first nations teen girls blogging “my story” and sharing their blogs with aboriginal Australian girls and me studying the effects on their self esteem and 3 literacies.
Very tired last night and I did not enjoy the movie “Deception” and turned it off half way. Will go on my big hike with PJ late today as no babysitter this early AM. Mist was at a sleepover at Nicole’s and now Tabs is at Makaila’s. Pip is napping. Pip was so cute in the van–I was blowing into my pop bottle making music and Pip piped up from her car seat “My turn Mom!” so I handed her back the bottle and she blew away. We switched off the bottle like that the entire ride. She felt she was making music too.
Need many new outfits for the Pip as all last winter’s clothes are too small.
Finding school taking time out of my great outdoors schedule. It is so beautiful out there and I have yet to hike or bike this weekend. Was going to go to a talk tonight at the theatre about 3rd world education but quite frankly, I just want to be outside enjoying the fresh air. Oh boy–PJ rehashing our bills this month. Not a good thing. As I stated before, we’ve never blown through more cash in our lives and we didn’t even go anywhere! All the clubs, sports, music–it does add up. Oh, and I guess we did purchase 6 airplane tickets to Florida and bought a new computer and printer.

Hello, Im back. Those two girls just wiped me out – I was in no condition to post comments with those two dirvishes around……
