Lala's Haven

here's a quick note from me..I'm finally out of the dark... & finished with the kids school year...As I said Jessica had her Grade 7 Leaving Ceremony & will be off to High school in the fall...*sigh* -here's a pic of her & her slightly frazzled but very proud Mommy :)

Just had a great weekend & our annual "Red & White" themed Canada Day Party over the weekend LOTS of Red & white food & drink.. which in itself is lots of fun ;) We had gorgeous weather for fun in the sun, lots of friends, neighbours & critters everywhere!
Then a great 'nother day on July 1st here in town where we spent our day watching darlin daughter do her Taekwondo Demo Team stuff..
Still amazes me-- she just started in Sept & is one of the newest members of the club & the lowest belt ever asked to be on this Team which does performances at all sorts of Community events . who knew!?


Hoping all you my friends across the border ,are having a Wonderful 4th of July today!!
Take care & talka you soon now that I am back in the land of daylight now!

in my world for blogging right now ..& I am sorry .. I got asked to do a rotation of nights for June & have been a mess case ever since.. I'm just not sure why -but I'm tired all the time & don't have much of a brain!

When I'm not at work I'm sleeping away perfectly good day time hours or worse yet ..staying up to do year end things with the kids & then a mish mash of sleeping when I can..

I've gotten a year older a week ago..which was a nice relaxing day since I'd worked the night before *yawn*.. then had a nice Japanese food dinner here while my girlfriend gave me a manicure & pedicure :)

Steven finished up his season of baseball games - for which I am grateful.. there just didn't seem to be an eve that we weren't at a damn ball field! They've now just finished their wind-up Tournament as well.. So the uniform is scrubbed, treated, bleached washed & returned for the last time! WHO thought that WHITE was a good colour for 10yr old boys to wear in a game where they are encouraged to SLIDE on the ground?? *agggh*

Jessica is finishing up Gr 7 & somehow I ended up in charge of the stuff for the Leaving Ceremony.. So again .. my bleary eyed waking hours have been filled with searching out, getting, Sorting ,storing & then yesterday putting up all the fun decor that we did :)

It was a lovely ceremony ...but I couldn't help but get teary when we were off to find more tape in the office & saw the brand New Kindergartens that were at the school for their "Welcome Day" ...wasn't that just US a second ago?! *sigh*

On top of that we've been tryin to get some pretty serious house painting & gardening done.. & for some obscure reason...the bloody weather won't co-operate!..we can't seem to get more than a few hours in a row sunshine..so when it is.. it's GO time..
Ok .. you know what.. scratch the first comment I think I KNOW why I'm tired all the time! ~lol~

The good thing is- This is my last set of nights starting tonight :) Hope you are all well & will check in when I can keep my eyes open..

Decided since coming back to blogging I should post some pics of everything that has been going on.. - you know that whole "visual cues" are easier than a bunch of words thing ~lol~
Or at least to show you some recent photos of my darlings that have each just gotten a year older each..
Jess is 13 now...*sigh* so many thoughts that go with that number..& Steven is 10.. wasn't he only 2 just a minute ago??

other than that .. trying to keep up with all the busy busy activities .. & focusing on not letting the depressive "monsters" sidetrack me..:)
I've also putting everything into Fitday for the first time in ages.. & doing what I can.. even went out dancing the other night .. almost forgotten how very Fun that can be :)
