YAY!! It's bitter sweet of course!! I really liked having hubby at home, there was very little routine, if any at all, going on. The kids did school of course, and I'm going to take advantage of these last days and have daddy do some of the "teaching". I am sick, so why not. We've watched a lot of the Olympics, and that has been great! Hubby has been enjoying that too!
We attended the annual Homeschool Convention this past weekend, with our oldest daughter!!! That's new, and I'm not too sure how I like it (the fact that she is growing up, not that she was there) The convention itself was ok, it was at the University of Regina, so that was different, and not too well liked I think, by many. The speaker was great! Andrew Pudewa, Excellence in Writing is the curriculum that he wrote. I think it will be a good curriculum, I bought it of course!
So, welcome back regular income, we've missed you!! Don't get me wrong, once EI started, we were comfortably getting by, and God has blessed us with a few surprises! All is good! God is Good!!

Women's Retreat
This is the retreat I went to 4 times in the last 5 yrs (including this yr) Beautiful isn't it!!?!! The North Saskatchewan river runs through the valley this beautiful building is in. This yr however, there were 115 women and the place ran out of water midday Saturday!! So it was ration time, and no showers!!
This yr I never went outside, at all, the whole time I was there. The yr these pictures were taken, I went outside just take these pictures!! I have gone for a walk down to the river, the second time I went. I'm just more of an indoors person ;)
My Valentine
I went to a women's retreat with my church this past weekend, we left Friday late afternoon and arrived home Sunday late afternoon. It was a great time, lots of fun, laughs, and learning! A few tears were shed and hearts were filled! God is amazing, and to know what He has done in so many peoples lives, is amazing!! Love hearing God stories! When we came home on Sunday afternoon (Valentines Day) this is what the bus saw as we pulled into the church parking lot: 
My awesome husband with his sign was visible for all 50+ women to see. Inside the bus roared with aww's and giggles. It was too cute!! (this picture was taken in my driveway this morning cause I wasn't camera ready when we pulled into the church parking lot)
This is what I saw when I walked off the bus, the other side of the sign. He got a great big hug and a kiss from his Valentine, and I said Yes!!

I don't have any pictures from the retreat, cause I never got my camera out to take any, I was too lazy. I think I have a post from a couple yrs ago, I will go find it now and link it here: nope no pictures...here is a link to the post about the actual place we went to: February 2009 I found some pictures going to make a whole new blog post just with the pictures.

Don't know what to write about
I'm in a blogging funk. I don't know what to write about. Life is kinda boring right now. Besides the odd trip to the hospital to get crazy glue out from someones eye, or dealing with children on a daily basis, and a husband who is home 24/7, there isn't much to write about.
I could write about how it's been quite the adjustment to having him home. But it's been ok. I'm afraid I am going to get used to him being here, and then when he gets a job it will be a whole 'nother adjustment period. That's another thing I could write about too, God's timing. We don't know when he will be hired or where, but are well aware it's all in God's timing. And His timing is different than ours, of course it would have been great if he started a new job on January 4th, but he didn't. It's February 8th....and still no job, he's had 4 interviews, and he has about a dozen or more applications out there. Just waiting and praying and praying and praying.
I could write about the things that make me sad, but no one wants to hear about that. I could write about the antibiotics that I took in December that gave me another allergic reaction and now my skin is horrible again (I suffer from psoriasis), but I don't think people want to hear about that either. People don't want to hear about our financial troubles, cause I'm sure people have their own struggles, or have had them.
I could write about our blessings, ya, I will do that. We have been blessed, by some amazing friends, some of whom I may never know, but they got together and pitched in to help pay for our registration fee to the home school convention!!! What a huge blessing it is, I am forever grateful. We've never been blessed like that. We've had blessings but to that extent, I'm fairly certain we've never experienced. It's is a HUGE BLESSING!! We weren't going to go, and I was fine with that, cause there are things we need to cut, and that was one, but when I shared that with a friend, just cause, not looking for any kind of return what-so-ever, she was lead to do something about it. And we are forever thank-full!! Now we get to go and hang out with our awesome friends!!! Another blessing, a blogging friend came and brought me some catalogs and brought me a bouquet of Daisy's!! They were beautiful, I think I've got a picture of them, just not sure on which camera, if I find them I will share. It was sooo thoughtful of her and I was blessed by it tremendously!!
Look at that, nothing to write and I made a couple of paragraphs!! Happy day! Thanks for reading, maybe I will have something to write about the next time I feel the urge to blog!!
