TGIF!!!! (bout freaking time)

So, it's finally Friday. Work has been ok so far but it's quite a change going from butt sitting to babby sitting. For those that dont know I'm helping out in the daycare at the Native Friendship Center. It's pretty sweet cause I get a 2 hour nap time but some of the kids can be a handful and much to my dismay you're apparently not allowed to give em a good boot in the butt. The people I work with are fine it's just a bit of an adjustment working with a bunch of Native ladies talking about going to karaoke and bingo. We'll find common ground some time, or not, whatever.

So far there's two people going home in the house (one as of just now) so that leaves us with....10? i think. It'll be weird if/when we get new people. Apparently if that happens it'll be some time in early November.

OOOO we went to the Shania Twain centre the other day as a house. That was, well....interesting to say the least. Busts of Shania everywhere!! and apparently she's huge in Japan. who knew!? We also went on the Timmins Gold Mine tour that same day. That was most excellent. We got suited up in hip waders and hard hats and were carted some 600 feet under Timmins. It was pretty awesome I gotta say. Maybe mining's in my future?

All in all, it's been pretty ok so far, no major quarrels to speak of, I'm keeping busy which helps keep my mind off of home. That said, I do get kinda sad when all the kids' moms come to pick them up at the end of the day. .....where's my mom!?

oh yea, it's already winter here. We got 5 cms of snow last night and apparently another 10 or so tonight. It's only around -5 so it's not so bad...yet.

I took a sick day yesterday. I ended up sleeping from 7:30am to about 5 in the pm, so it was good I stayed home, I would have been useless at work. Today went well though, I'm on the mend.

anywho, until next time.
