I totally wanted to blog yesterday, but the call of the sleep hit me harder and I went to bed. Normally I get a chance to blog in the morning or during nap time, but niether worked out well for yesterday. It`s a good thing too because yesterday I would have spent the whole blog telling you how nuts Emily had been all day. All the LONG day. I might as well have fed her a bowl of sugar.Wooo crazy child. Today she`s still acting her age, but I`m not looking up postage prices on sending a 32 lb parcel to Siberia…if you catch my drift.

My Mom and I went for a walk at Lunch time yesterday. It was so beautiful out. I made Emily walk as much as she would to wear her out. We walked all the way around Sepa Lake mudhole. *whoa, my keyboard switched into french on its own. odd ééé. * I`ll have to figure that out laker, but for now I guess I can`t use slashes and the apostrophe( which I just learned is a verb in french aswell) is weird too. Where was I… Ah the lake. The water is down so far that the 2 lakes don`t even come closr to connecting anymore. Its kinda sad. Speaking of lakes…I get to go Kayaking tomorrow!!

A friend from church is taking me! I think we`re going to Canim Lake. When I worked at Lake of the Trees, someone donated a Kayak, but I had to duct tape part of it and it just went in circles, so I don`t call that Kayaking. I even subscribed to a Kayaking magazine for a while. I wish I trusted myself enough to take my camera with me, but theres no way I`m taking it out with me. Morgan has this saying that goes something like `Courtenay can`t go near water without getting wet`. It`s true. I think I`m like a labrador that`s poorly trained. I just can`t help myself. My goal for tomorrow is to get my feet wet, but nothing else unless everyone gets wet. We`ll see how I do.

Its going to be a long day away from Avery and Emily. I`ve been away from Em before, but I`ve only left Aves for a couple hours at a time. Tomorrow I`ll be gone from 10 til dinner time, so most of the day. I`m sure Daddy and his girls will be just fine. I`m really happy to have a me day.

I used to do alot of crazy things and then I got married and had kids, and now I`m downright boring. A couple weeks ago a friend asked me what my hobbies were. I wan`t to say all my old hobbies: snowboarding, rock climbing, skateboarding(Im banned from skateboarding by MK, but thats another story), Mountain biking and all sorts of other crazy stuff, but I couldn`t say those things since I hadn`t done any of them in forever. So I ended up saying reading and blogging or something. I always said I would love to be one of those crazy skydiving grammas, but who knows, maybe I`ll end up one of those knitting gramas who enjoys bridge. So I`m excited to do one of the kind of fun things I used to do before I became boring.

The good thing is that I like boring. I`ve learned some really cool cooking and baking recipes. I`m learning to sew, so I can make reusable diaper wipes. I love blogging and practicing my writing. Maybe one day I`ll finish my short story. I love reading and getting into a good book. I`m enjoying learning to parent my girls and be a good Mom. I like hanging out with Morgan and a cup of coffee. Sometimes I do miss being spontanious and never going anywhere without my guitar, but I`ve replaced each of the things I loved to do with something that is of greater value. I could snowboard all winter on weekends, but I spend Sunday at church growing closer to the Lord, playing the drums and spending time with church family. I could rock climb all over this beautiful province (I still hope to climb some places), but I`d rather be helping Emily collect cool rocks in the yard. I could mountain bike all over the gorgeous Cariboo, but I`d rather be tickling Aves to get a smile or a coo out of her. I could be wild and crazy, but I think I`d rather be boring.
