Christmas Spirit

posted in: Motherhood 1

I’m quoted in this month’s Parents Canada–page 30. They edited what I said into mush with too many ‘buts’–but I’m not complaining! 
Spent some of today shopping for hardwood flooring and paint for the girls rooms. I actually love choosing flooring and paint!
Mist and Tabs both had sleepover parties at friends houses last night. Peter, Pip and I went over to M and J’s for supper and games. It was a delicious meal (I LOVE roasted veggies)!
Tomorrow we attempt a day at Silverstar. The big girls will try lessons in the morning while the moms ski (Miranda and I) and board. The babies are staying home with their dads–they don’t have lessons for 3 year olds. Once we get everyone established as skiers and all the equipment sorted, we can start night skiing for 5$ Fridays.
Finished my last paper–tres bon, bon, bon! Now I shall do home renos and apply for my ethics review and write applications to present at conferences for December.
 Have discovered many, many provincial publishing houses that are small and unknown to me–yet I am inspired to try every last one of them for my novels. I am reading Elizabeth Lyon’s Manuscript Makeover. Next, I’ll tackle new edits and send my novels. I don’t know when I’ll have time to do all this. I am thinking once my MA is complete and I’ve applied to do my PhD–there will be at least 1/2-1 year space in between.
Did I mention Tabs is rushing head first into the Christmas spirit, leaving her parents in her dust? She rummaged through our storage to unearth the Christmas lights and proceeded to put them up on our outside front balcony all by herself!
