Well the weather we’ve had for the last two days sure has been different than what it was. It’s beautiful out, and with a day off today, I’ve been enjoying the last days of summer before it turns cold. This morning I sat out on the patio and had my tea while reading the book I started and just enjoying the sounds of the morning. With the weather so nice, I’ve worked a bit in my gardens since soon I’m going to have to “put them to bed” for the winter. So far, it’s been a great day!
My friend is moving
My dear friend of over 8 years is moving and looking at houses for rent in Calgary. I myself have never been there, but she goes quite a few times a year to visit family and friends there that live in the area. This past Christmas she brought be back a wonderful calendar with pictures of Calgary Alberta, and I have admit the area is stunning. If I didn’t have close family here I might think about making a move myself, but right now my Mom needs me and since we are so close I could never move far away from her. I would miss her way too much.
When my friend told me she would be moving, it of course made me sad, but I know she flies back and forth all the time, so we will still get to see one another and spend time with each other when she does come back to visit. She has a flexible job, which makes it much easier to get away even on a whim, which she is known to do.
To be honest, I’m rather getting excited for her, since her excitement is contagious. She has shown me photos of some homes she has looked and and there are two she is seriously thinking about checking into renting. She doesn’t want to buy, as it would be a commitment that she doesn’t want to take on right now. Renting is a good idea for her.
9/11
I’ve been watching some of the coverage that had not been shown until now, about the tragedy of 9/11. It was so sad I had to turn off the television. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on that date. I feel for all the family’s of the people who died. Even after ten years, it has to be so hard for them.
Burrr
The weather got actually cold the last couple days. The temperature got down in the 40’s last night and I even had to turn the furnace on in order to get the chill out of the air, since it was also really windy and raining. I’m sure not looking forward to winter. I have a feeling it’s going to be a bad one. Or at least, worse than usual.
Hiring Her
The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez
Being a working mom is tough enough and I feel really guilty about leaving my kids in daycare all the time. I love them so much and I feel like I’m missing so many moments while they’re with someone else. My husband and I recently made the decision to hire a housekeeper/cook to come in twice a week and clean the house and prepare meals which so far has just been amazing. Martha is wonderful and sometimes she even picks the kids up from daycare for me if I have to work late! Her food is great and she keeps the place sparkling so I didn’t hesitate to give her our www.Securitychoice.com passcode so she could get in anytime it suited her schedule. I feel like she’s already becoming part of the family and though it’s nice to have someone here all the time I do still feel bad for working so much. It’s great having help, though, and I’m really thankful it’s someone we both really feel like we can trust with the kids.
