Are the radio people spying on me?

Today I was driving the boys to school. No we didn't walk - I'm too tired today due to....nevermind, you'll see why. Anyway, I was driving my delightful hooliga-er kids to school, having finally got them strapped into their seats which took a good 20 minutes due to the fighting and tears. The radio was playing a Duran Duran classic; "Wild Boys", taking me back to nostalgic memories of my younger days and being somewhat amused at how appropriate that song is for our family now. I'd make it my theme song if it didn't smack so much of the 80's.
In keeping with the 80's theme, that song was quickly followed by a Cranberries classic called "Zombie", which is what I feel like this morning, after staying up half the night watching election coverage. Now I am wondering if the radio station has been spying on me, playing such meaningful songs first thing in the morning. Is it some sort of code? Or am I just way too tired that I've grown paranoid now???!!

Ah yes, the election. I'm sure every Canadian blogger will be detailing their own opinions on it this morning.
Suffice it to say - we have a new Prime Minister by the name of Stephen Harper with a minority Conservative government. It's quite a radical shift from what we've had. Time will tell I guess. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. I wonder when I will see the proposed $1200 per year for child care for each child under 6. That would be an additional $3600 for our family - and would go a long way towards other things for the kids (I wouldn't need to use it for childcare as the older boys will both be in the public school system as of September).

In other news, I have finally gotten a chance today to catch my breath. It seems we've just been go go go the last week or so, which is why I haven't been able to update my blog very much. Looking over my calenday, I am amazed at how busy we truly were last week and a half. We had:
Duncan's assessment
Joey's hearing test
Take the van in for repair
Matthew's OT session (for eating)
Parent teacher interview with Duncan's teacher
A funeral
A swimming party
Another doc appt for Joey
A federal election
Not to mention we still had to get up and take the boys to school ( 3 days last week) and to church on Sunday.
I'm also treated to THIS on a daily basis


.and due to my extreme obsession for a clean kitchen before I go to sleep, I cannot rest until it looks like this.



Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night, and my beloved kitchen is suffering...

I am spent. I am tired. We've been riding an emotional roller coaster for a week with highs and lows and loopty loops, and quite frankly, I am looking forward to a nice boring dull week with nothing on my calendar - HA, I should know that it won't be boring or dull or even quiet- but at least I'll be able to breathe. Maybe per chance to nap. hey, a girl can dream right?

I actually have a job this week (a little one) so I'll be doing something for me, since I absolutely love my job. Even get a little spending money, which is good, since January is nearly over and that means that Spring is approaching, and with spring comes all my kids birthdays! They'll be 5, 2, and 4! More pictures to come soon when I have a spare moment to download!
