When you are repainting a little kids bike from yellow to blue, paint the lower bars first. That way you don't have to worry about NOT touching the freshly painted bars above as you crouch in awkward positions trying not to end up looking like a smurf. And do the handle bars last so you don't stick your newly dyed hair into them as you are trying to touch up the top bar. Finally do not use the end of your paint brush to scrape off a chunk of who-knows-what after you have already painted over it. Then when you do get blue paint on your knuckles (from the top bar) and even the palm of your hand (from the end of the paint brush) do not touch the white cupboard door and the white screen door because IT DOESNT COME OFF!!! 

Well, they are yellow and blue thus the inspiration for my new look. Although it has been a while since I actually wrote a blog I have been around from time to time reading other people's. I actually was inspired last week but then when I sat down to do it the internet was down or some such stupid thing. It is actually very quiet in my house right now... surprising really. The kids must have really gotten tired out today. Oh speak of the devil... I hear one of them in the kitchen. I will be back... ok, lets see. The snow did stop and I did go to Vegas and had a wonderful 4 days. Really the weather the last month or so has been unusually warm. School is out for summer, the kids did well considering. Karen's teacher was wonderful and had nothing but praise for her. We are keeping our fingers crossed for nest year. She is in a split class but this teacher really wanted Karen in her class so that is good. Cameron is in Grade 1 next year and has an aide on a provisional basis only until we get some kind of diagnosis (or not) this summer. Frankly I am really nervous about his appointment as this is our last chance to get a real diagnosis so he can get funding for a steady aide. Anyways they are both in programs for the summer, I have decided to take a little time off this summer so I can have some extra time at home and maybe get my house in order. Tomorrow Cameron and I are staying home and cleaning his room (and the fridge... ewww). And then Thursday I have my first 'me' day. I think I will have a long nap. And call the guy to come give me a quote on building us some steps to the back door. Kinda useful. Although we havn't had any for at least 3 years now. Let's see... I finished my first ever quilt, I bet I could find some pictures too. Oh my I really do think the cat has got the right idea though. Curled up in an upside down ball on the bed, obviously dreaming. Oh well I guess that is about it from here, I'm sure it's not really but I ate too much ground beef back when I lived in England and now I have swiss cheese for a brain. Either that or the kids stole it from me. Lets just go with the Mad Cow theory, my husband likes that one. TTFN.
