Day 1 of 14

Today Russell went back to work. He goes for 2 weeks at a time and gets a week off. Needless to say, he's not home very often, so we value our time we do get to spend together. The last week has proven to be one of the busiest weeks we have had in a long time.

We started out house hunting, going to an open house, getting licenses paid for the pooch, cleaning (on my part) going dress shopping (also on my part) and so, so much more. But that's all in my previous posts, so I'm not going over it again here.



So this is day 1 of Russ being gone. Started off pretty yucky, too.

We have to drive almost an hour to get the the airport on one of the foggiest days I have ever seen. We get there and the plane has been delayed...3 hours! The fog was so thick that we could not see 10 ft in front of us. So the boys and I sat in the airport waiting with Russ for the plane to arrive. It wasn't all that bad, the kids were having fun playing with the rest of the guys on Russell's crew and I was enjoying the last few hours of being with Russ.

On the way home I guess everyone in Alberta forgot how to drive. The fog had already lifted by this time and the roads were dry, but people seem to think that if the weather was bad at one point it may just magically appear and they may hit the ditch or something. Like seriously folks? Doing 80/KPH in a 110/KPH zone is sooo unnecessary. Especially when there are 3 lanes that turns into 6 all going in the same direction! There was no oncoming traffic! If you live in Alberta (or anywhere with weather like ours) you should at least learn how to drive in the conditions or stay home. I must have looked like a racecar to all those slowpokes and I was only doing the speed limit.

Once the kids and I made it home it was back to the usual grind. Cooking, cleaning, making tons of phone calls, answering business emails, checking facebook, working, yelling at kids, and then some. Now that Izaac is napping and Gib is watching movies in his room I have a bit of room to breathe. I finally have a minute to write about my day and watch a little Rachel Ray (Kevin Bacon is on today's show =) ).

And that's about it for today. Tomorrow is going to be just as eventful!
Baby's up, Gibson's done his movie and Rachel is over. Time to get back to life...
