I seem to keep forgetting to keep forgetting to update around here!  Last week was obviously a very busy one for me, getting back into the routine of working full time again.  It’s rather a rude shock to my system for the first couple of weeks. Work is going pretty well.  I am in grade 3 in the morning with 30 8 year olds, and then I’m back in the preschool in the afternoon.  I definitely got the easier of the 2 preschool classes, as the morning group is a lot more difficult to handle from what I hear.

Hubby got good news last week.  He got transferred back into Edmonton, to a store just 10 minutes from our house!  He’s been driving to the town where my Mom lives (about a 45 minute highway drive) for the past year.  It doesn’t sound long, but an hour and a half in the car every day, after a 10 hour work day, makes for long days, and especially driving in the winter.  It’s also going to save us a LOT of money on gas!

I got good news too!  Payroll called to tell me that they had been underpaying my vacation pay by 2% since 2004, so I got around $1000 retroactive pay today!  Score!  Greatly appreciated after 2 months of unemployment!

Kids are all doing great!  Jess has already been approached at work about taking on more responsibility!  Ben goes back to school in about 5 weeks time.  Jay is back home with Sarah now, going back to university.  Sarah’s been busy helping the group pack up equipment and sterilize equipment in preparation for the trip to Ecuador.

Pups are doing well too!
