With School brings busy days

Wow I can't believe the summer is almost over and Little Austin is gonna start school.  A new school too, which is scary and exciting.  I have a PAC meeting next week and with that brings a lot of responsibility for me.  I am excited and scared all in one cause I am taking on a secretary position and I think I will be ok with it.  I really hope to meet new moms like I did at Eagle View, I really need a friend support system in my life.  Seems funny but I really need friends in my life.  I always hope I can find the kind of friendship that I have with my Best Friend in Edmonton but that is hard to come by.   If only my friend could live here in Victoria then I would be set.  I am thinking that Austin will be fine making friends but he has talked about his old friends more now that summer is ending.  He does have our neighbor friend that he spends lots of time with so that has been helping him.  So I have been part of an e-mail group called fly lady and it helps you keep organized and clean.  I love it and it is making the stress of the house and Day care to a minimum.  I am so excited to get back into a school routine and have my fly lady routine. I think this is going to be a good year.  Right now I am in the middle of trying to get my Epicure business name out there.  My goal is to be able to stop having a Day home by next September.  Have a daytime job while the kids are in school and have my epicure business.  

Wanting meaning to my life

So I haev been really emotional lately with life.  Not that my life is bad in anyway I just feel like I have yet to do something big with my life.  I know I have a daycare and I am a Epicure consultant but that just doesn't feel like enough for me.  I have always just wanted to write a children's book.  I just cant seem to figure out how and where to start.  I ready 2 books every night to my kids and the more and more I read the more and more I wish I could just but pen to paper and write a book.  I really don't know how people do it.  I am like that with Painting as well.  I love to paint I just have a hard time starting.  I am trying this new on line thing called fly lady and FLY stands for  Finally loving yourself.

So far so good, but we will give it a week and see what happens.  I used to belong to this group when I fish had Faith in High River but when I moved into my Mother in laws before I moved to Victoria I just stopped it and remembered about it over the weekend and signed myself back up. 

I like my friend Shoka (think that's how you spell it)  am up over my head with consignment stuff.  I am also at it all weekend for a total of 8 hours.  Don't get paid for it but I do get to keep a higher % of what I sell. so it will be worth it and I love doing stuff like that.  Also a good way to meet other people in Victoria.  

Geo Cache

So me and my family have been doing Geo Caching and we absolutely love it.  Well Austin and I absolutely love it and Roy and Faith tag along cause I say so LOL.  I think it is great family activity and outside time.  Austin and I can spend hours riding our bike.  Driving from Cache to cache and walking of course.   The other day we found 4 and we wanted to keep on going but bed time was just around the corner.  I recommended it anybody who just loves taking a stroll.  It is pretty inexpensive Hobby.  You need your I phone app (or GPS) that's it and its hours of fun.  Austin and I have decided that we are gonna make our own Geo Cache on our street.  We have come up with a cleaver name as well.  "Normandy is the troll under the bridge".  We live on Normandy and there is a bridge int he park and we plan on putting it just beside the bridge. Cleaver right :)   I can only image how funny Austin and I look, we are supposed to not let muggles (as they say) see us but the other day on one of the Bus Stop series there was a Geo Cache up really high on the poll and the only way we could reach it was to have Austin sitting on my head for suppose while he climbed the poll.  Good times hehe. I absolutely love my geo caching time with Austin.  I hope we have this time together for years and years to come.

                                          Faith enjoys Geocaching when she finds the treasure :)

  

Here is one of the GeoCaches we found.  We needed to take pictures to show proof to Austin that we found it.  He was at the bike park close by.
