Wow It's Been Awhile

My bad! I have been away for awhile, I don't know why? Just haven't had much to say. I guess it must happen at some point?

We have a had a busy last few weeks with the start of school. I'm now the proud owner of a Gr 9 student, a Gr 2 student and a pre-schooler. Yep I'm choked about that one. Jillian just finished her 1st week of pre-school. It was a better day today, Monday not so much. We had alot of tears, I wish I could say they were just Jillian but ahhh not so much. Today she told me that she was a "big girl" and would do alright, and she did.

So we're settling into a nice fall back to school schedule. The weather has been beautiful the last week, cool at night but still hitting the 20's in the day. I love a nice cold night to snuggle under the blankets and up to a DH.

So you know what I've been hooked on these days. Party of Five has been reprieved on Much More Music, I'm such a geek as I loved that show and it seems still do. I'm getting Morgyn hooked LOL. So don't even get me started on the new 90210. I'm such a geek.

So with quick admission I'm signing off and leaving some pictures of the 1st day of school.
