Back to Work I Go!

And not with a smile on my face this week. The week has just begun and I am already feeling overwhelmed and swamped.

I start every day by creating a to-do list. I list the 4 top things I need to do as soon as I get to the office ans once they are done create a new list of 4 to do. Today that list could easily have been 25. I dont even know where to start!

I need to find a method of dealing with the workload and the stress that does not immobilize me - any suggestions. I need to be able to be as productive in this stressful time as I would be any other time.

All suggestions gratefully accepted ......

It is now official - I am nuts

And I can prove it! I went to bed last night at my usual time - 11:00 pm. I was planning on a really good nights sleep as I knew my day was going to be pretty stressful. Lots to do and having to deal with stressed staff. I needed all the sleep I could get.

At 4:00 I bolted awake - and I mean bolted! I realized that a very very important task had been left undone and it was my responsiblity to do it. I laid in bed for a few minutes trying to fiqure out who I could call in the morning to go it for me and the horrid realization hit me - THERE WAS NO ONE!

By now you have it dont you? Yes - at 4:08 I got out of my bed, drove to the office, took care of the task, came home, went back to bed and then got up at the usual time and went to the valley.

And now for the part that will have you all rolling on the floor in laughter --- I did it in my nightie, sweatpants and a jacket. I did comb my hair so it was not sticking up all over!

I think this action may qualify me for totally nuts! What do you think? Comments?

An update

In no particular order:

I updated my blog - but can't seem to add the gadgets and I am too tired to care at the moment

I am getting tired of buying goodbye gifts for people at work! I think I might have to buy one or two more unfortunately.

I am going to finally introduce Sharon and Cathie to each other - and in person! We are all getting together on Friday

Phil and I are taking Brian to the PNE this weekend. Probably on Sunday

I am going to a shower! Yahoo! IT WILL BE FUN

I finally booked my mammogram -- I know what took me so long?

Tomorrow I work in Chilliwack so I better get to bed!

Cya all later

It was fun!

We had such a good time in Vernon. Sharon was down with a flu - but it was so good to see her and the whole family - Sad that we missed Jo and Heath. Hopefully next time!

It was a relaxed weekend - Phil and Dwight had time to geek out and fix computers.

I spent time with Sharon, Alison and the Roylance kids. OMG they are cute kids! We got to spend time with Jen and Kyle too!

Sunday we took a drive with Alison, David and kids and Sharon out to see the lot that The Roylance home will soon be built on. What a pretty area. Cant wait to go and see them there.

The drive home was a tad draining, lightning, thunder, rain and of course a couple of car accidents to slow things down! But we had a great dinner at Skinny's Grille in Hope (on the old highway). The decor was funky and the food was good and the company was even better!

Wow is it hot!

Here we are in Vernon- arrived last night. Staying at the Tiki Village Motel - Not bad but no wireless internet.

Had a great visit with the Boulton's and Roylance's. Unfortunately, Sharon woke up yesterday with the flu that has been moving through the family. It was still great to see her.

Now we are sitting in Waddy's family resteraunt - eating Eggs Blackstone for breakie. We are going to go and see Alison and David's property that they are buying.

Forcast for today is over 40 so i expect to sweat off at least the breakfast!

Love you All!

A trip to look forward to

Phil and I are going to Vernon to visit Sharon and Dwight next weekend. We are staying at the Tiki Village Motel - Alison and family have moved in with Sharon and Dwight - making the house a bit full.

Brian is going to be staying with his sister, brother in law and nephew. He is looking forward to that. Planning on taking the WII so watch out kids - he is pretty good!

I am so looking forward to seeing Sharon. It is her birthday that weekend. I am looking for suggestions of what to get her as a gift. Please post all your ideas for me! Thanks!

It was a Great Long Weekend

We didn't go on a trip, no camping, or short stay at a resort (much more our style than camping). But all the same we had a great weekend.

We looked after two little dogs. We went back and forth between their house and ours. On Saturday we made dinner there and watched movies so the dogs would not be lonely. Sunday was spent with Tanya, Andre and Warren.

We did a little shopping, did some relaxing, a little walking, a little playing in the park and water park. A whole bunch of relaxing!

Alas - it is now over and I have to go to work. BUT there is the BBQ at The Baron's to look forward to!
