Whew, this is a lot of work

I think about blogging everyday but don't actually do it.  I'll get better after you leave but for now I'm just trying to develop a habit (like heroin or online porn).  Anyway...I'm in Canada and coming home today.  You are currently at a dr. appt. and texting me that youre pissed it's is taking so long.
I slept pretty well unlike the night before.  Work seems a bit streesful as I wind down in Sarnia.  If I look at my workload, I don't have enough work to keep me busy through 2010.  I've talked to lots of people and they assure me the work is coming and that I will be very busy soon enough (truer words, right?).  Enough about work.  I'm looking forward to comin home to you and the kids.  Not sure why, but with all your planning for school and moving I'm feeling closer to you.  Maybe its just me getting ready to miss you when your gone.  Gotta go.  Love you.  Where the hell is the spell check on the f'ing edit menu?  Ooh this program makes me mad!

What I'll miss about Canada (or not)

This may be my last trip to Canada for along time. I have one more day trip scheduled in February but will see if I really have to go. I thought I would mention a few things I'll miss about Canada, and a few things I wont.
I will miss:
  • the people I work with. I've met some cool people and it's kinda neat to have 'international friends'. Yes, Canada is international.
  • the work. I do cool stuff on this project and when it goes away i will likely go back to boring stuff.
  • Duty free customs. Cheap booze rocks.
  • the occasional quiet night in the hotel. No kids to put to bed, no dishes to do.
  • the toilet paper at the facility is not in roll-form. It is by the sheet - you can take handfuls.

I won't miss:

  • Being away from home. While it sometimes is okay (see above), the times i miss you all outweigh the quiet times.
  • The border crossing hassles.
  • Terrible food and no culture to speak of in Sarnia.
  • silly tax laws that make doing my taxes a pain.

Gotta work - love you

Weekends Over

I didn't blog this weekend so I wanted to catch up. The weekend is over and it was a busy one.
What sis we do on Friday? Can't remember now. Oh yeah, we went to the Blue Gill Grill for dinner. Fish was a little greasy but good.
Saturday Brenden and I went to the MSU BB game - MSU won - yea!
In the evening we went bowling with Kami and Drew. For the most part, all our kids behaved.
Four new baby fish. You obsessively captured them all in put them in the breeder tank. TY
Sunday, Brenden and I went and saw Sherlock Holmes and you took the kids with Kami to Castaway Cafe. Every puked - naturally. Then we met at home and I made tortellini. Kami and Drew stayed for dinner.
Good weekend. Love you gotta run.
3:30 PM on Monday
49 days until school starts.
