May 1 is reason enough to get serious with potting or seeding plans for the outdoors. Or find a May Day event to kick up one's heels at.

No where near as North as you Saundyl but I have to head to our Northern branch this week and I am just hoping they do not get snow well I am there.

Even at home still waiting for all of the snow piles to melt.

I’ve been in touch with all 3 Daycare families that I interviewed last week, but no signed contract. One lady was very surprised when I handed her my Daycare contract for us to review. She said I was the 4th person she had met with, but the first one with a contract. She said she doesn’t have a daycare contract with her current provider. I arranged a meeting with another Daycare parent late this afternoon.

Morning! Tonight youngest DS has his night class so after dropping him off and then picking him up I hope to get some things done at home. Laundry and empty the dishwasher for sure. I meant to take out ground beef to make taco meat. Will have to do that tonight.
Income tax refund was in my account yesterday. Moved a chunk of it and left some in account. DS and I need new bikes so hope to take a look this week. Will have to post our old ones up for sale and hopefully get a few bucks for our Summer fun jar.
Paid extra on my credit card so I have a credit on it to cover the shopping this week without touching the budget.
I think we can finally starting raking the yard. All the snow seems to finally be gone now! Took a look at the outdoor living stuff at Canadian Tire on the weekend and I want everything. I do have lots already I just need to gather it all and set it up. Even an outdoor rug that I bought a few years ago on clearance.

Sunday’s supper was Jane’s chicken fingers in pitas with veggies and marble cheese.
Monday's supper was toasted bacon, tomato, and cheese sandwiches.
Tonight’s supper plan is turkey (pre-cooked and in the freezer) in a mushroom sauce, steamed fresh baby carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli with noodles.

Last night Dh and I went to the new Avenger’s movie. We often see these in theatre, but I really didn’t like this particular movie. It was our first night with a babysitter since February.

Tonight is the first night of soccer season. We have soccer Tue, Wed, Th, for the next 6wks.
I’m going shopping at Sobeys 10% off Tuesday, after Dh and Ds return from soccer. I have plans to use a bunch of coupons. Sobeys’ system takes 10% off the total, before coupons are applied. You also earn Air Miles on the total, before coupons. I’ll post details after the shopping trip.

I just spoke to the receptionist at our doctor’s office. He is leaving by the end of June. She has been instructed to charge $50 per patient to transfer medical files. I expressed displeasure as he is the one who is leaving us, so it’s not our choice. $250 to transfer our family’s medical files, no matter the size. She hung up on me. Our community has a doctor shortage and that’s why they opened a walk-in clinic at the ER because so many people don’t have a gp. I booked a doctor’s appointment at the end of March to get in to see him on May 8th. We have lost 7 doctors over the last 2yrs. There are 3 doctors who are supposed to arrive in the next month or two. Two are currently qualifying to practice in Canada and the other one is dealing with immigration paperwork, coming from the U.K.
