MIA

Missing In Action.  That's me the last few days.  Not just from the blog but inside my mind.  It's got a lot to do with the weather I'm sure.  Not that it's bad here, but just different.  Because of that my face hurts, my head aches and I just feel 'off'.  It's nothing new and seems to happen every year about this time.  I'm not depressed, homesick or wishing I was somewhere else though, so that's good.  I guess it's just a funk and it will pass.

On a brighter note, the boys and I will leave for Canada one month from today!  At that point we will have been away from Canada for almost eight months.  It's hard to believe how quickly the time has gone by.  Perhaps the scariest part is that I haven't driven a vehicle since April 2nd and I will be getting back on the road as soon as possible.  I will understand if anyone calls in sick to work or school that day and stays safely in the comfort of their home.  I'm wondering whom I will have to suck-up to in order to get a chance to drive.  Any brave people out there willing to hand over their vehicle?

I have spent most of the last few days dealing with vacation rental woes unlike anything I have even experienced.  It all seems to be worked out now so we are excited again for our trip to Florida.  I have a lot of things I want to get done before we go and managed to accomplish one task today - the dreaded cleaning of our office/dumping ground.  It was horrific but after only about two hours I had it organized again and ayi was able to clean the floor for me.

While ayi was here today I was roaming around putting things away when I walked into Nick's room and had quite a scare.  As I entered I saw a man outside his window and it really startled me, mostly because we live on the sixth floor and there shouldn't be anyone outside our windows.  It turns out he was hanging by a rope from the top of the building which is eighteen stories high so he could caulk windows.  I should have stopped him and asked if he would clean mine.  The next time he came down the rope it was on the other side of the building and we had the camera ready for a picture.

Looks like fun, eh?

Here's a picture of the boys enjoying the photo albums that Darlene sent over with Mom.  The lucky people who visit us almost always get treated to a long session of perusing pictures with two boys talking, pointing and trying to turn pages at the same time.  They have to show anyone they can who and what is back in Canada.

So, I think that's it for tonight.  Tomorrow we are heading out to IKEA for more dark chocolate as I've gone on a bit of a binge this week.  Other than that I'm not sure what we will be doing but rest assured, it won't be too interesting.  Goodnight!
