Warning: Bad Mommy Alert...the dog and child have bath TOGETHER!

It's been a while, so I thought I would post some pics of the child and dog. Abi is her regular drama queen self, while lucy just can't handle not being part of EVERYTHING Abi does.

On Friday, I was giving abi a bath and lucy kept sneaking her paws and nose into the tub with abi. I would shoo her away, and she go off into the bedroom...but then, the last "shoo" happened and lucy decided to jump on in the tub with abi grace. Abi loved it, mom laughed and hollered to daddy for the camera, daddy wasn't so amused. Oh well. Makes a great "wedding" shot.

Not much for updates. No word on our contract with work...and still no show on the back-pay...too bad, we could really use it!

I'm planning on having the Whitbread clan over for a St. Patty's Day dinner...sorry Darrin and Joy, wish you could be here! I'm normally not one to get into the whole St. Patrick's Day thing, and for the last two years, I haven't been in much of a mood to host ANYONE...but this year things are good, and I am really looking forward to treating my family to a nice night out...sort of, they are eating at my place, and I'm the cook!

Work is still going great. I still have a wonderful, incredible boss, and I am enjoying the almost full-time bit. It's strange to actually look forward to doing my work!

Billy's work is going strong too. Red Bull has been good to him for the most part, and has really brought out his confidence. I noticed how much he has changed on Saturday. I had two of my co-workers and their spouses over for dinner, normally this would scare the heck out of Billy, and he would say maybe two words the entire evening. Well, he talked more than I did!! At the end of the night, I thought to myself, how different my husband is...for the good. I love to see him, see himself in the same light as I've always seen him in (if that makes sense).

We think we've got abi's school worked out for the fall...yes, she is going to school in September...I will be a complete mess for the entire month of September, so plan on it being a complete write-off...I will not be responsible for any of my emotions, words, expressions, etc. that month.

After a few months of going back and forth between our school division and mom and dad's school division, I finally found a private school that has FULL-TIME, all day, monday-friday, kindergarten...WITH BUS SERVICE! So, we've put in abi's application and are waiting to hear. The cost of sending her to Winnipeg Mennonite is actually less than what we are paying now for childcare, and that includes the bus fee! So, even though I was really looking forward to the extra $450 a month come September...it's worth the peace of mind. Grade one will hopefully be at the school by our house. Billy wants her to stay at the private school, but I really want her to get a french immersion education. We shall see.

Well, that's about it for now.

To those I love, peace.
