"P.S.: Probably won't write until monday night or tuesday. Have a great weekend y'all <3"
Total lie. I know. It's just that when I came back from Qc, I really needed to focus on my math test that was coming up so needless to say my blog was one of the last things on my mind. Sorry. But anyhow. I'm here now aren't I ? :) So first, because I won't remember every single detail and secondly, because it would be way to long to write (and read) I'll try to do a resume of what has happened since my weekend to Quebec.
That weekend turned out to be exactly what I needed (and I knew it) because even if things were getting a bit better here, I still felt like being with someone I knew and getting away for a while. Sara Ann and I went shopping and hung out at her place during the weekend. We did some catching up and some Pep talking to each other and watched Tv a bit. And of course, we went for our routinely supper at Enzo's downtown. And for our last night together we sent Jay sleeping in the guest room and slept in her bed just like old times !!! It was really fun and therapeutic. I took the place back to Toronto with Porter and got home around 8 monday night (january 24th that is).
Coming back wasn't too bad (appart from the fact all the planes in Qc City seemed to be leaving for sunny destinations besides mine!) and the week went well. Hockey was starting to be a little less present during week nights, as it is soon ending and Lacrosse season soon starting. In fact, maybe I mentionned this before, but the boys have started monday night Lacrosse skills in Burlington to get back into it and do tryouts in April. So aside from doing my regular work routine (getting the kids off to school, cleaning, laundry, etc.) everytime I had a loose moment, I would do math. I was going pretty well. When I wasn't sure about something, I would write it down and then send it to one of my mom's friend to get explanations. I would also go online on these math websites so when I'd get fed up on doing some work in my books, I'd go online and try to step out of the routine without stoping from doing math. So much fun.. !
So anyhow, the following weekend (jan. 29th & 30th), all I did was work on my math. Monday the 31th, the kids were all off school for a PD day. I took them to Bronte Creek National Park (10 minutes away from here) and we went sleighing and skating on an outdoor rink they have. We had lunch there a the little snack bar and spent almost 3 hours having lots of fun over there. The kids really enjoyed it and so did I ! It was pretty cold out but we were well dressed :) Unfortunately, I hadn't cheked the batteries in the camera so I didn't get to take much pictures ! But here are pictures of the kids I took that day.
That week was a short one for the kids, as wednesday was a snow day. And it definetely snowed ALL day ! Nicole didn't go to work because it wasn't nice enough so everyone was home ! Curtis played outside with the neighbors almost all day. Kennedy and Dylan did also but not as much. So while they were outside, Nicole managed to get some of her work done and so did I ! It was a nice day overall ! Brian was home that week which meant I had my 4 day weekend which I was looking forward to, to get done with my math studying and do a last big look up on all I needed to know. I really regretted the way I did things that weekend because I was off for 4 days.. Then working tuesday but leaving tuesday night... and off until the next sunday. Even now, I still can't believe I didn't realize how much non sense that made... I could of taking my tuesday and have been home for much longer. I could have left wednesday night (the 26th) to go home.. Drive to Rimouski and back the day of my exam.. and then come back as planned on sunday the 13th. It would of given me 4 extra days. If I simply would of taken that one extra day off... Still can't believe it lol. But anyhow.. what's done is done and I guess all I can do about it now is laugh !
So I took the plane tuesday, february 8th around 6h30 and landed in Qc at 8 where Sara Ann picked me up. I went to bed around 10 at Sara Ann's to get back up at midnight to go take the bus to Rimouski. got in Rimouski around 5:15.. packed my big suitcase in a locker.. had breakfast at the bus station's restaurant... had a coffee... Read the paper.. and around 6:45, called a cab to head to school where I sat down at the cafeteria all morning doing math. Thankfully, one of my friends in the same situation joined me around 9 and then another one (who had already passed the test) sat down with us to do one last check up on everything. I then went out for lunch with Valerie (friend from my BAC I hadn't seen in a long time) so it took my mind off the test and we did some catching up :) I felt pretty good about the test going in but it turns out it was pretty hard once again... I cried a bit coming out just because of how uncertain I was. I still don't know how it went. But like one of my brothers was telling me.. It's the kind of thing that when you do it so many times, you just can't predict how it's gonna turn out anymore. You'll just finally get it one day but without even knowing what you did differently. The test was feb. 9th so I am guessing I will be getting the result in about 2 to 3 weeks. That's usually what it takes. What's done is done and whatever happens will happen. With the recent discussions I've had with my family and boyfriend, I just won't let this test get to me anymore. I will take it over as many times as I need to but I certainly won't let it get into my way.
So this coming spring, we will move in together and then what happens happens. We had the work talk, the baby talk, the everything we want talk.. And we are on the same page for everything and are both very happy. Plus, some things happening in the family in the past few weeks have made us realize how lucky we are to have each other,to have our families and to be happy and healthy. So like I said.. whatever happens, we will deal with it and try to not let it bring us down ! I say that but I am pretty sure if I don't get it right, I will be really desapointed and sad but... It's just normal. And like every other time, I will have everyone to make me see the bright side of things. I look back on my latest blog entries and feel so bad on how much I've complained !! It wasn't easy but it was certainly easier that other situations I could of been going through. So I am really grateful for all I have.
The kids have been really great lately so that makes it easier too. And this coming weekend is the big weekend in Pittsburgh for D's tournament. We are leaving friday morning, stopping to shop a little and then heading to Pittsburgh. His tournament starts saturday morning so we will be spending most of the weekend watching his games, following his team to meals and whatever activities they have planned and of course, some shopping ! We will be staying at the Courtyard Marriot downtown Pittsburgh !! And hopefully I might find my prom dress down there, as it is April 30th ! :) And then monday night we are attending the Pittsburgh-Washington NHL game !!! That is what we are all looking forward to the most. I have to say I am pretty spoiled by these bosses ! They don't want me to pay anything ! I am pretty excited :)
So only tomorrow left to work and then PITTSBURGH here we come :) We will only be coming back next tuesday so I certainly won't be writting before wednesday but I don't want to make any promises about my next entry lol ! So all I can say is "À la prochaine" :) And have a nice weekend <3
