My absence this time has nothing to do with spending too much time on Facebook. I actually don't like it that much. It's good for keeping in touch...that's all! I never did get hooked. I find it has too many flaws. I'll just keep coming back to ole faithful MSN Spaces.

 

So I was kicking off the new year the last time I graced my space with a blog. I've been filling my days with routines of life and still trying to overcome obstacles from the move. But it seems to all be under control.

 

I really can't believe how fast this year is taking off. I continue to work from home, and have surprised myself on how fast I have picked up everything. I have been blessed with an opportunity to still be a SAHM and work around the kids, without having to leave them. My husband is still enjoying his job. With the way lay offs have been going and the amount of industrial jobs closing, he is lucky to have gotten his job when he did. Of course working for a mill or mine always leaves the chance of a lay off. But we can take those chances. We are not worried. Healthy, happy and settling in nicely; I am glad we chose this town. Even if we did have our reservations about it originally.  

 

Spring break is just around the corner! We will go back to Mackenzie for a visit, and to check on the house we left behind. We are landlords at the moment. It's going very well. I am actually very optimistic that things will continue to go well. And when spring finally decides to show up for good...we won't have eight feet of snow to thaw! It's nice to be out of the north. A snow bunny I am not. I really enjoy that I can shovel my driveway with runners on, because the snow isn't deep at all. Much better compared to the alternative knee high Sorel boots, which feel like cement blocks.

 

I have enjoyed another weekend with the kids, doing nothing. My highlight of the weekend was using my new Swiffer. Sad, but true. And I don't care. I'd rather not have a busy list of things to do on my weekends. That's what my weekdays are for. "Less is more",  as they say.

 

 

I'll be back to blog soon!  Wishing a smooth Monday to everyone!
