Thanks Imp and Nic

Sorry I have taken so long to reply.

I know that all I can do is just keep going. Your right about the new book I think the last one is very long.

My ds and I went away for a few days. The day we were supposed to leave to visit my friend, she phoned and said she was sick and wanted us to come a day later. So we decided to take a detour and go see the Titanic exhibit then go on to visit her. The day we left my d5 got sick but she seemed okay so we left anyway. We had a good a busy day at the museum and the parliament buildings, had dinner and caught a bus to see my friend. I ran into two people I knew. Kind of funny.

We then went to the lake to visit my friend's mom. That night my neice got sick and so did my friend. That night d8 was sick and of course I followed. We could not come home Sunday night. My friend called the nurse's line and found out we probably all had Norwalk virus. Yeah for us. So I had to take an extra day off of work.

Came home to replace my hot water tank and now I find out my au pair can't get her visa for about three weeks and therefore she is coming a week later not to mention that air fair is less then half at that time. Sooo. I called in a replacement. Today was good to have off. It was a good mental health day and I got a lot done.

Summer is zooming by and we have not had much of one in terms of weather but we have had so much fun and stayed so busy.

D5 can't wait to start school.

Well I hope all is well with all of you.
