The Last Weekend

It's finally here. Over a year has gone by since I left work for my mat leave. I didn't think I would go off a month before my due date but I had so much trouble with my pelvis and hips that I just didn't want to work anymore! Colin was born 3 weeks later.....

Tomorrow I go back to work, actual work. Back in the classroom, back with the kids. I'm not too worried about working but how the different needs and requirements of all the different lives will come together and mesh well so that I don't feel overwhelmed and stressed. I don't want to hate my job. I want to feel like it's a good part of my life that is adding to it, not taking away.

I am also in the process of becoming a La Leche League Canada Leader. If I become one then I will be responsible for organizing meetings, spreading the word about the group, giving info about breastfeeding etc. It is something that's needed in the community, I just hope I'm not getting in over my head!

I should have been on the ball and registered for more school courses for my ECE. But I got busy, lazy, and forgot and now I think I will have to wait until the fall. I'm such a procrastinator!

Well the biggest event of the weekend was the local Trade Show. It's probably one of the biggest events this small town has. Last year it was guessed that 15,000 people went through the building. There is such a collection of home based businesses like Miche purses, Partylite, Princess House and Gramma's Attic to the commercial booths like steam mops, spray foam house insulation, knives and pots and pans and then local businesses like Glow Portraits , Just Like Grams , and This & That. We did good, I only bought a jar of pickled carrots, mini donuts and raffle tickets for our hospital foundation.

Now, I'm lazing on the couch, with the ACM awards show re-run on tv while my son sleeps. I don't plan to do anything today except maybe go to yoga. Today is good.

Disclaimer: I am always looking for good pickled carrots.
