Wednesday July 8th --- Share and Care!

What a day!  Hubby and I got up before 5am and went grocery shopping.  LOL!  I figure I was awake so why not.  You know?  Of course now I am really tired!  :-)  I work today and then tomorrow we leave for a 4 day camping trip.  I am really looking forward to it!  Hope everyone has a nice Wednesday!  :-)

Good morning everyone! Thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself since I'm new this round. I'm Stephanie, 36, married for almost 2 years. We have 2 children together..... Becca just turned 4 and Miles just turned 2. I had rny surgery on Feb 17th of this year and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!!

I do home daycare so right now I'm waiting for the rest of the kids to arrive, plus a niece and nephew are coming today...... so I've got a houseful by the time they all get here...LOL! At least it looks like it's going to be nicer weather today.... it's rained so much lately! I love summer, it's my favourite time of year!

I can't wait until Saturday though, a group of us are going ziplining at Camp Fortune in Chelsea, Quebec!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hi, Stephanie!  Welcome to the Board and to Secret Pals!  So glad that you joined us!  :-)

Ziplining sounds awesome!  I want a full report when you return!

No problem :) Not only will there be a full report, but there will be pictures as well! My surgeon has a "wall of freedom" and he wants people to send in pics of them doing things that they wouldn't have done had they not had the surgery...... I plan on sending in a pic of the ziplining!!

This is where we're going.....

Looks amazing.  I will do that some time!  Hiking Bald Mountain in Old Forge was a good start for me!  :-)

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's day is going well. I worked til almost 1 this morning and have to do it again tonight! No Fun! My mom got out of the hospital yesterday and seems to be doing better! So that is good. I had to go yesterday and meet my daughter's preschool teacher. It was great and depressing at the same time. I don' t want her to go! She is my baby...lol. Wait til my other two have to go....then I will ball my eyes out.  Well, gotta run. Time to get the kiddo's dressed for the day and finish laundry, which seems like a neverending task. Talk to you soon!!

YIKES, wor****il 1am?  Where do you work?  I hear you about kids growing up?  I don't have any but my first niece will be FOURTEEN next month!  FOURTEEN!   Sniff, Sniff!

I hear ya! We go meet my daughter's junior kindergarten teacher on August 25th and it makes me teary to think of Becca going to school in the fall :(
I also hear you on the never-ending laundry!!! Just when I get the clothes in the laundry room caught up, I look at the hampers and cry!!

Hi! Gosh what I would give to be able to go grocery shopping at the crack of dawn! I used to do that when I worked nights.

Wanna know what it's like when your kids grow up? Ask the mom of the 23 year old son that just graduated from college and the 25 year old daughter who is getting married next year!! Weren't they just babies? How did this happen? Didn't I just bring them home from the hospital? Okay I'll stop or I'll launch into 'Sunrise, Sunset'. Just thinking about how fast they grew up brings me to tears.

Have a great evening everyone!
Love ya, Deb

Deb, I am not a morning person so going at 5am was interesting.  I was tired the rest of the day but we had a good time so that is all that mattered! 

Yes, time goes by so fast!
