Well, it's Tueday after a very long weekend of no internet or phone for us. Both went out about 9:30 Friday morning and was out for the duration of the weekend. Anyone know what it's like to have six kids with no phone and internet?? It's quiet as far as the phone is concerned but not so with no internet. I just left on Saturday and went to watch a friend from church do her triathlon to get away from it all. It wasn't the best weekend for this to happen with Kelvin having left for Ottawa yesterday and my first mother-in-law being sick but, we survived it and Telus remains with their monopoly and there is nothing we can do about it.

Yeah, so Kelvin left yesterday morning for Ottawa on the IBBS (inter-base bus service) and miked me when he finally got there. They flew via Toronto and had some severe storms to contend with but did make it several hours later than expected. I'm afraid this is going to be a very long week for me as after 3.5 years of being a single mom and 3 years of being married with help raising my boys...I much prefer the help. I no longer enjoy having my kids all by myself with no one to help me with them. At least I have a full time job to keep me occupied and get away from the house.

So the job is going well. I released about a total of six new listings since Friday and must have done it all right as I haven't received any calls from the board about any mistakes. My boss also received an email from the lady at the board saying that she is very impressed with how I'm doing with the MLS listings. I'm also getting used the legal contracts a little more and things are beginning to make more sense to me. I have fewer and fewer questions and I'm still learning lots. They say change is as good as a rest and I'm feeling like there is some truth to that.

I'm getting to have a rest next week as well. I fly out on Sunday to Toronto for little over a week to meet up with Kelvin, who took an extra weeks leave, to visit some of my in laws and my uncle in the Toronto area. We come back on 30 of June and that is the 'official' day that Kelvin's promotion takes affect. Now when I phone, I will have to ask for Master Corporal Eastwood!!

Anyhow, so I'm back online and until next time......
