well hubby and i bought a new lawn mower yesterday from lowes saved 15% on top of a sale ,ours was from my dear mom and it was maybe 31 years old we had it 21 years here and a few years in our old house ,this time we have a self propelled one as its hard cutting our hill in the backyard
We were trying to make it last this summer but nope our front lawn looks like ripple effects in the ocean ,only its in the grass

I weeded the front today ,hung a load out
Went to winners this afternoon got 2 tweezers for 5.00 and a xmas gift or next easter gift for Sebastian 7.00 for 3 small Jurassic park dinosaurs also got foamy shapes for the tub for 2.00(to put in with a baby gift in the fall)

Stopped at shoppers to get the chips and nestea on sale , then on to swiss chalet (2)white quarter chicken meal for hubby and I 6.50 each (and they didn't charge for the white meat as they didn't 65 years ago )mind you it was a 35 minute wait ,I didn't mind

I want to buy a swiffer westjet but 33$ for the whole kit at IGA seems kind of expensive….

EDIT: I checked wal mart 30$ and maxi and cie with a sale 25$ for the same thing will go to maxi...like a smart canucker I did my researchs!!!!

I want an aspirator too but the one I want a wal mart is 68$...I will have to think about it.

What a beautiful day. Younger son had a lacrosse game in Oshawa so that wrote off much of the day but I was still able to get his uniform washed and on the line. In laws came for an early dinner as older son had to work tonight and I went to Freshco for a few deals and now I am on the deck with my feet up. It’s a short week for me as I am taking a vacation day Friday.

Good Evening Everyone,
Well I ended up spending my day my working which is okay.

I did offer to help Mom with a few things but everything I offered she either said no or later so I decided I was going to work. I needed to do something so I do not feel like a blob. Although just a little while ago we had a bit of a moment. I am not sure if she notices she does not this or not, I will give her the benefit of doubt and say it is she doesn't. But she has spent all day not really doing a lot but now all of a sudden everything that has not been done around the house is annoying her and she is pointing out all these things that need to get done. The thing is when Mom works that is her day, I will come after work and do stuff around the house, not Mom if she works that is it for the day. So when she does this, it usually actually means she wants me to do it after work, well today I decided to say something back about the fact that she wanted a lazy day today, okay fine but one most of the stuff she pointed out I still cannot do and two she needs to stop doing this (doing nothing all day then trying to give me a list of things to get done after work). Especially right now as it is still taking pretty much all of my energy just to get through the day at work.

But oh well on to the good. I have managed to get quite a bit done on my one project. There is a part to our system that we pay for but really have not been utilizing as much as we could, so we are working on making it more user friendly. Once all the changes are made I will create a new training plan based on each position and go out and train everyone. Finally as of last week, I have finished my admin training on how to make all of the changes we want to make and have back everyone's feedback on what they want to see so I have been working on all the changes. My plan (hope) is to have all of the changes made in live company by Thursday so when our IT guy is in on Thursday we can update Test company to match so I can start training. The only set back has been was once we ran some reports we discovered there was a little bit work to be done then we expected and it is all manual, none of it can be via imports. So I am happy, I got a good chunk of the work today and our Sales Manager will meet with me tomorrow to give on final sign off.

As well I did manager to empty and re load the dishwasher, it is all about the little things right now.

Alright well I am off to relax and watch some TV. Have a wonderful night everyone.

Good Morning Everyone,
Monday and back to work, already ready for next weekend although again I have an event to attend. I have to be honest, I really wish I did not have so much going on right now. I booked myself based on 1 week recovery and now that it was extended out I think I might be over doing it a bit. Yesterday I was sore and exhausted, I am not a napper but I fell asleep on the couch yesterday afternoon.

I am really hoping to still have a little bit of energy when I get home tonight to try to get a couple small things done around the house. When I was at my cousin's his wife and myself were talking about how frustrating it can be after surgery when you can't just do something and have to rely on others to do it for you.

We really need to go grocery shopping but they keep changing Mom's schedule at work and now it does not work with my schedule. Mom went on the weekend but only got Milk and Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce. We are starting to really lack fruits and vegetables, it was slim pickings as I packed my lunch today, good thing I forgot we bought pears and they were still good.

Alright well time to get back to work, my to do list for today is quite long. Have a wonderful day everyone.
