And that's a Wrap

This weekend I had my in-laws in town, helped host a block party & had the second service for BCC.  All in all, a great weekend.  My in-laws are pretty low maintenance, the block party food was amazing with so many different cultures & nationalities on the block & we had a new family visit church.  They've drifted away from their faith & after reading Roy's article "Church - Why Bother?" in the paper, they were curious.  That's what we're here for.

Right now I'm looking at my beautiful hardwood floors & wondering if  as a stay at home mom on a budget I can justify hiring someone to come in & sweep/mop the floors.  They'd need to be on the clock from around 8am - 8pm & just follow us around with a Swiffer...can't pay much but I would feed them...hmmm...

This week I will go to the US Consulate in Buffalo to sign over power of Attorney to Roy in selling our house.  This way I won't have to miss my kids first day of school here in order to be present at the closing there.  It may seem like a little thing to you, but it's a new year, new school, a new country AND it's Ceilidh's Senior year.  It's my last first day with her.  It's a big deal to me.

I'm reading "Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor" by Dr. C. Lamont McMillan.  I also have a stack on my nightstand that I'm jumping between, "And", "Borderland Churches" & a few others.

Favorite Tweet:  @julianperretta: just read how Chris Brown has joined a charity which supports women who are victims of domestic violence. If you can't beat them, join them.

Favorite Movie/TV/Music of the week: Jim Parsons aka "Sheldon" from Big Bang Theory wins the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy series.  Equally as important, Jon Cryer does not.
