Busy!
Our summer plans have been kind of up in the air, because we had to wait and see what Gairod had for work.
Well, now we have decided we are leaving for my parents cabin at Waskesiu Lake in SK, on Friday!! We are going to be staying for about 2 weeks, then we will come home, unpack, repack, and head out to BC for the August long weekend, for Gairod's family reunion.
This stupid family reunion has been a pain in the ass for a while now, because we are supposed to camp, and we have nothing to camp in. So.........we bought a trailer!!
I was originally against the idea of getting a trailer, since we really don't have any extra money to spend right now, but when we went and looked at it, I started to get excited!
It WILL be nice to have our own trailer now, that fits all of us (it sleeps 9), so that we have somewhere to stay when we want to go somewhere, without having to borrow something from someone else!
SO, Gairod is picking up the trailer tonight, I need to clean it out, and clean out the Suburban (and it has been pouring rain all day, so I am not exactly sure how I am going to get them done!). Tomorrow I need to get all the laundry done, and get groceries for SK. Thursday I need to pack everything, and we will leave Friday morning. When we get home, I will have 1 full day to unpack, do laundry, get more groceries, and pack the trailer for BC. I am exhausted and stressed out just thinking about it! lol!
I can honestly say I am not really looking forward to going on holidays this year. Maybe it's because my house is a disaster, and I just feel like it is SO much work to get everything and everyone organized and packed! I KNOW I will enjoy it once we get there, and I always like the time away to reflect on things, and get a different perspective on things. I ALWAYS come home with ideas of how to change/re-organize the house, routines, etc. So that will be a good thing!

Yes, We're Triplets!!!
I got these shirts custom made for the triplets at the mall the other day!
People are ALWAYS asking me if they are triplets, so I thought I would save myself some time answering questions! lol! They wore them to the zoo today, and so many people were smiling/laughing at their shirts! :)

Transition
I have decided to start transitioning the kids into homeschooling, starting NOW!
Over the summer, we will "do school" a couple of days a week, for short periods of time, to start getting the kids (in particular - the triplets), used to sitting at the table, being quiet, and concentrating (and letting other people concentrate) on school work.
In September, Jade will start grade 3, and I will do a very loose preschool program with the triplets. It is going to be a BIG change for them to have so much structure, so I KNOW it will take some getting used to, for all of us, but especially for them.
In other "transition" news, today was my first day of not taking my antidepressant. I have 2 weeks of taking it every other day, and then every third day until they are gone.
I know in my last post I was feeling down, and was worried, but I am feeling much better now :) I hate that now whenever I feel blue, which is normal, I get paranoid that it is, or will turn into, something more. I guess in the long run that is a good thing, because I am very aware of my feelings/emotions, and I will be pro-active if I ever start to feel depressed again!

Still here.
I know I haven't posted in a while.......on either blog. I am still here, I have just been struggling lately. I don't know why, but I am trying to sort through it, and pull myself together. I feel like I am lacking motivation and drive again. I am still on my antidepressants, so I am not sure what the problem is?! I am supposed to start weaning off of them in a week, and I am a bit nervous. If I am feeling this way now, how am I going to feel when I go off of them?? I don't know what my problem is. Why can't I just be NORMAL?!?!
