Well I am now officially on my second round of holidays. And after the week I had at work, I am so ready for my week off.
Today we are going to the ex. The kids are very excited. Since it doesn't open until noon, this morning will be perfect time for everyone to pitch in and clean the house. The kids will have to help if they want to go and this way it will take way less time for the house to become clean.
On Monday morning we are off to the lake with my parents. We are going to Memorial Lake, which is a beautiful lake. Perfect for everyone. They have a fantastic beach and swimming area and there are lots of fish so my parents can go fishing. Our campsite that we have reserved is perfect for us because it is right next to the play area for the kids to play on, the beach is only 2 minutes away and the boat parking area is right there so we can keep an eye on the canoe and the motorboat.
I will take lots of pics and put them up when we get back.
Marian, in your question about using ice or heat, I would recomend using ice right after you have had a treatment. Ice reduces swelling and inflamation which will occur right after you have had a treatment. Then after that, do what you think feels right. Some say do ice for 10 minutes and then do heat for 10 minutes. But do whatever makes it feel better. On my back, I use ice to reduce the swelling when it is sore and then I lay in a hot bathtub after to make it feel better.
I would also ask the chiropractor if he thinks physiotherapy might help you out at all. I would be interested to hear what he thinks about that.

Friday, August 04, 2006
I can't believe it is Friday already and my holidays are soon to be over. Good thing I have another week after only having to work for 4 days.
This weeks we helped Corey's dad paint his decks, garage and all the window frames. I was so sick of painting by the 3rd day. But he paid us all which was so nice of him. The kids now all have spending money for the ex next Saturday.
Katie finished her babysitting job and made a ton of money. I am making her put 200 in the bank and then she can spend the rest.
Tomorrow we are going to Meeting Lake with friends. We have lots to do today to get ready. It is amazing how much stuff you have to take even though we are only going for 1 night.
I finally found my perennial book that I bought last year. I can go through it and plan what I want to buy more of now. It is a great reference book that is made for Canadian Prairies. It is a guide of the top 100 perennials for our area. Which to me is perfect. I have already learned the hard way about a few perennials and have lost some, but that was more from planting them in the wrong place. I now know the next time I buy an astilbe, it will go in the front of the house in the shade, not against the house on the south side where the last plant fried to death.
