The Adventures of Life as a Mother and a Wife

Wow, what a title. But lately I've been thinking alot about being a mother and a wife as well as a daughter, sister and friend. But first and foremost, a mother and a wife. What an incredible experience, it truly is. My husband and I have had some interesting conversations lately about life, and sometimes I wonder if we are the only ones who go through some of these conversations, over and over again it seems. Do you have the same conversations over and over again with your spouse? Or is it just me and my darling husband. Please tell me you do...please. My husband works early in the morning, I however, cough cough, get to 'sleep' in. So when it come to time together to chat or what not, he's tired, and ready for bed. I, well, I could stay up till 1am, not good for me, but I just truly love the quietness that happens at night. Even if the TV is on, which it usually is, I love the quietness that happens at night. Nobody is fighting, nobody is tattling, nobody is crying, nobody is not listening, they are all sleeping soundly in there beds! I LOVE IT!! So anyways, one of our ongoing conversations is about him going to bed earlier than me. Just something that we need to work on, me not being upset that he's in bed and not out here talking to me, him not being upset that I'm out here and not in bed with him.

Anyways, For those who read this, and don't live in Canada, you may have missed the fact that the SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS (our local football team) WON the ultimate in championships, they WON THE GREY CUP!!!!! It was a party in Saskatchewan that night!!!! So fun, sooooo soooooo much fun!! We took in the celebratory Parade and saw the players and mascot, and the CUP!!! It was fast and fun, even if it was -35C with the windchill!!

Speaking of windchill, eeeek, Winter has hit and it has hit us hard!!! Yuk Yuk Yuk. The weather has been in the -30 (plus) with the windchill. I can't wait till spring, when we can go Camping again. We totally miss our trailer. We went to 'visit' it the other day, to take the battery off and put in some bounce sheets to help keep the mice away (thanks Laura). That night my husband looked at all the camping pictures from this past summer!!!! Too fun!

Keep warm, where ever you are reading this from!!

Saskatchewan Roughriders!!

Whoot Whoot!! (is that how you say it?) Oh ya, go Green!!!

Yes, the Saskatchewan CFL football club has made it to the West Semi Final. They will be playing on Sunday, and our family will be watching, yah. I'm sooo excited! We were able to take our family to the last regular season home game, and it was C~O~L~D!! I was walking out the door thinking I should grab the mitts, just in case, ya, sure the sun is shinning, but hey, it is November....Well I listened to my husband, that was the first thing I did wrong ;) (love you hun) and I never took the mitts. I need to listen to mothers instinct more!! We froze, and left when there was 9 mins left in the game. But we had lots of fun...just being there all together is fun, seeing the kids learning the game and showing some RIDER PRIDE!!!!! LOL Come on, you knew it was coming...

Okay, so it's not letting me upload the pictures from the game...oh well.

So anyways, enjoy a little football this weekend, and maybe get out and enjoy the last few days before we get some yucky weather. Hey, I'm still wearing my berks, oh ya...and I even stepped into a little snow blanket the other day...a tad bit cold, but I hate wearing socks!
