Man, time flies! It’s been 3 weeks since my last post and now I’m heading back to work! Yesterday was my first, unofficial day back. I spent the day at district office, going over the Education Act, numerous policies and learning about payroll and budgeting. Fun! It was the “New Admin Training Session”. Tomorrow and Thursday we’re at the Days Inn for a guest speaker on “Communications and Creativity Skills”. Yesterday was an information overload type of day, but it was all mainly review, so it wasn’t too bad!

Let’s see…. Since my last post, we’ve been to Grand Manan and camping in Mactaquac. Grand Manan is gorgeous! The water is a beautiful emerald color and the cliffs and unbelievable! You can get very close to the edge. Actually, a little too close to the edge! Madie was a pretty good little camper and even managed to sleep through a huge thunder and lightning storm! She only woke up when it was all over! We were trying to sleep in the tent, and the thunder kept rolling. My darling husband kept saying, “Man! That was close!” My response, “Shut up! It’s not funny!” Given my fear and total hate of thunder, I was not amused! Our annual trip to Mactaquac for B’s birthday was awesome. R & H came by for part of the afternoon, then H and the boys, followed by R & S and her parents. We all had a great time. Given how dirty Madie was and how often we had to wash her, I think that she had a ball!

This past weekend, I went shopping in Moncton with the girls. I was in desperate need of clothes for work. I found lots of great deals, spending less than I thought and getting more stuff than I had planned! Of course, we had to stop in at Micheal’s and buy a few things! I tried not to spend too much there since I had spent money at my Stampin’ Up party the week before! Again, got more than I planned/thought… The party sales were high enough for me to get $50 worth of free stuff and one free stamp set! Yippee! We also got the chance to meet up with great friends that were visiting from Brockville. We found out that R is going back to school, to become a teacher. Best of luck to him, although it’ll be a breeze for him! I hoped that this would mean that they might move back to the Maritimes, but I don’t think that they will… :(

Today, Madie and I are just taking it easy and hanging out together. I missed being home with her yesterday, but I think that she had fun with Auntie Tim. Chris is taking 2 vacation days to be with her tomorrow and Thursday and then next week it’s back to daycare. Man, where has the summer gone?!
