I have angered Karma....I think

Well as you may have read in my last post, 2010 didn't start out great for me. I had gout in my left ankle and was stuck on the couch for a week, I spent the next week playing catch up and things were starting to get back into routine. I shouldn't have thought that because as a family we went to Lake Louise on the 23rd and we walked from the truck to the lake and I slipped and fell and hurt my right ankle. Off to the Banff hospital we went and found out that there is unknown damage to the ankle because of the extensive swelling. So now I am in an air cast, back on the couch and crutches again. The worst part of this is that my family has to pick up the slack again, Reiley is being so helpful and DH Hank is making meals and well Landen is really trying to be good (I can't expect more than that.) The doctor is hoping that there isn't tendon damage and when he mention the word "surgery" I am hoping that as well. I hate being stuck at home, can't drive, can't walk and can't really get comfortable enough to scrapbook. I am hoping to try and scrapbook this weekend since Hank is gone again to another Fire fighting course and the kids and I will be hanging out with no place to go....(anyone feel sorry for me yet??)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Wow it is 2010 and half way through January already!

I can't believe that is it January 21st already, where did this month go?? It has been a crazy month so far, I was laid up with gout for the first week, spend the second week trying to play catch up and here we are almost at the end of the third week and I have nothing to show for it. I haven't done a lot of scrapbooking since boxing day when I whipped of a record of 22 LO's in one day, friends were having twin girls and I wanted to get the album done before they arrived. I did do one page yesterday but I wanted to share something else with you guys today.
Tuesday I took the kids and went to Strathmore for the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay that went through town. It has been 22 years since the Olympics were in Canada and I wanted the kids to experience it. I took some pictures as a momento to this once (or twice ) in a lifetime event. I cannot wait to scrapbook these pictures. I am having some issues trying to upload the pictures so I will try again later.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I have made it a new year's promise to post more often.
