It's been awhile.
How is it that I totally forgot about my blog? Life is BUSY!
R just turned 3. O just turned 5 and A is almost 8! Where has the time gone?!
Since my last post we moved to Kelowna and back. Things just weren't working out. Everything seemed to be against us and it proved to be too much and we retreated back to wonderful green Chilliwack! Can't say I'm sad about it. I love Chilliwack. I love all my friends and the humidity. I love my house and my community.
S and I have just purchased a clinic which we have transformed into a multidisciplinary practice.
We have an RMT and a Medical Doctor and a new receptionist. We reno'd everything and a lot of stress came with it all! But somehow we are managing.
A is just finishing grade 2! She is so smart. She reads huge words! But I suspect she doesn't let on how smart she is at school. She can be quite the shy little mouse. But once u get her home she is such a joker! She is getting more and more independent-which I LOVE. Mornings are getting more bearable when I can just say "Go! Pour yourself some cereal. And make some for the other kids too!"
O is starting kindergarten this Fall...what am I gonna do with one kid at home...things will be so QUIET! O and R are always in each others space. It makes for some loud days. But they love each other...which is what I have to keep telling myself. And I know this because I'll catch them hugging or holding hands. They are so adorable. O has been really getting into videogames too. His latest conquest...Skylanders SwapForce. At any given moment he can tell you what upgrades each of his characters has.
R is a smart little cookie too. Always using words way beyond what you think she would understand. She really likes pretending lately. She likes tea partys, teddy bears, dress up. You know, the typical girly stuff.
I have been working at the hospital here in Chilliwack and trying to pick up shifts in Abbotsford as well. But sometimes I feel so busy that life gets all jumbled and I tend to forget things...double book myself. And most of the time I'm pretty hard on myself. I feel constant guilt that I'm not good enough...or more commonly I'm not as good as everyone else is. I managed to get A signed up for piano, and O and A signed up for swim lessons...with R being not far behind! I miss the days when I was a stay at home mom and I had the mental capacity for keeping up with my life. Sometimes I just have to let it go cuz we need the money..so I have to work.
My house has been a fun project that always keeps us busy. My garden is growing every year. This year I have had less interest as I've been busy with life. But still somehow I've managed to get somethings planted. Let's hope Chilliwack weather takes care of it for me!
When we have sunny days I'm just in heaven. Honestly. I love hanging out. In the sun. With my kids. Sometimes we put the speaker in the window sill and listen to music while we play, and BBQ and the kids play on the trampoline! I feel so blessed to live here.
