The 3 youngest and the husband is outside right now so I thought I would take a few minutes to write. Hubby is working on the garden and the kids are playing, hopefully not in the rain puddles! Yes, it's still raining, though yesterday it was 1/2 way decent out! But, it's not raining now (though it looks like it's going to pour any minute), so kids wanted to go outside.

It's Saturday and for the most part the house is clean. Only thing left to do is the kitchen and bath floors! The kids were amazing in the last week and kept their rooms pretty tidy. I ended up taking a nap with the little one's today. Was nice and refreshing!

Last night hubby and I watched the movie Pursuit of Happyiness. It was quite good. I think what made it even better was the fact it was a true story. That guy could have so easily given up and didn't. If you haven't seen the movie, I would recommend it.

Linda was a bit better with the tantrums this week. Not that she didn't have them, but they didn't last that long, which is good!

My birthday is coming up soon and I already asked for a new mobile phone. The one I want has EVERYTHING on it. What's super nice is that it's going down in price, plus I have a $80 coupon off on it! It's supposed to go down on the 1st of September and the hubby has said that he'll go ahead and buy it for me then. I'm going to give my old phone to the 11yo. She has a phone but it doesn't work at all well (she can't make calls on it, only texts, which is a pain!) It's quite a new phone as I just got it a few months ago. My old old phone I accidentally ended up washing (btw, mobile phones don't go through washers well), and I had bought the one I have now as a "stop-gap" till I found one I really wanted. The new phone has video calling (though I have no clue who I would call as none of my friends have this type of phone), camera, organizer and all the bells and whistles. And I'll be able to get The Apprentice game back on the new one!

Anyway, need to check the chicken we are having for dinner.

Ta for now
