Poof... it's the middle of January

Just like that it's the 14th of January.....

At least it's snowing outside. It's hard to believe that with all the snow we had before and during the Christmas holidays, that in one short week all of it went away. It was quite strange to see double digit temperatures in January without a minus sign in front of them!!

The week began with the uncharacteristic running around that we did not have to do for two weeks. Erin was happy to be back to school though. I think she really missed her friends! It was also back to daycare, where again I think she was happy to play with her pals there too!!

Wednesday brought a ridiculous wind storm that destroyed Erin's trampoline (our fault for not storing it away for the winter) and believe it or not also knocked over her playstructure too. Fortunately the playstructure is salvagable, with only some brackets breaking and we will have to repair the slide. It could have been a lot worse though. We saw lots of houses and garages with trees toppled on them.

Friday I was planning on working from home while Erin was at school, but there was a freezing rain storm and I was feeling under the weather, so Erin and I stayed home. She took very good care of me too!!!

The weekend was pretty quiet with the exception of Sunday evening when we went to the hockey game. Gord's boss gave him 3 tickets to the Senators game, so Erin went to see her first hockey game - although she has seen them in the skills competition. She thought it was pretty cool. We only stayed until the mid point of the 2nd period but she had a ball. I think it likely had something to do with the hotdog, the ice cream, and best of all, the cotton candy!!!!

So it was back to work today - well, I was actually at work for a while on Sunday too - and back to our routine again. I have really decided that I am enjoying not having nothing to do on the weekends!!!

Until next time.....
