And yet, another weekend ....

...is upon us.

This has been a busy week. And the busy continues onward through the weekend ......

I had some work organization to get done, and some accounts that needed to be seen. Then on Wednesday, my dear hubby flew off to Myrtle Beach through this Sunday for golf, golf, beer, golf, and more golf. ;) So I have been a "single mom" for a few days already, and it's going, well, it's going. It isn't easy, but it isn't impossible, either. We have tons of things happening here this week and weekend from a social/activity (as in a wine tasting, a hockey game, hockey practice, a wedding, and a surprise party - yes, I am serious ALL of that!) stand point, so that's been a drag without a *mate*, but other than that, the kids are doing fine - and so am I. The kids had a melt down (I reallllly miss daddy ..... kind of melt down) initially, but it's been better since then.

Went to dinner tonight with the kids to a very kid-friendly, fun little ice-cream-shop-type of local place here. Had a good time, and of course, topped it with ice cream for dessert, them - not me :)

Heading to Chicago for a few days next week for a product launch with my company. Looking forward to seeing the new product, as I hear it is AWESOME, but not being out of home turf, you know? As my friend, Fransie indicated, when the mommy leaves, it's a full time job just to get out the door to go where you're going. So .... during this busy weekend, I will be readying the kids, and the homestead for the departure of "mommy". Thank goodness my hubby is a capable dude, I think I'd just die if I didn't have that .... :O)

SO, with that, off to enjoy the quiet, resting house before the busy begins tomorrow.

before I go, though, I had promised some toothless grin shots of the little K-gal. The really up close one cracks me up, she looks like the Blairwitch project with a silly grin, doesnt she?? Maybe a Saturday Night Live future in parodies? :)

anyway, here they are ... and no, the "picture" hasn't changed yet - not a single sign of a new tooth replacing the ones that left. I'm getting a wee bit nervous. Ever heard of that? It's been two + months. eek, huh?





have a good night, all! and a wonderful long weekend!

Aw, Karin, SUCH cute pictures! Hey, James's teeth have been VERY slow to come in - the record is just over six months for one tooth, but at least half of them have taken 2-3 months each. Wow, busy weekend, you! I hear you on the single mom thing, but we won't discuss it since this is MY time and I try not to think about it. LOL I hope it all goes smoothly and that you have a blast in Chicago!

Wonderful pictures. Can I just say how much I *love* the shorter hair on her?
