After a fairly difficult week, a day off!  

Today I had a great Bitch'n'Brunch with my girlfriends.  It was GREAT!  Everyone of my friends are so much fun!  I think everyone had a really good time.  Unfortch my restaurant choice didn't work out exactly as planned but we are women and we adapt!  Onward and upward I say!  

Some of the crew couldn't make it for this one and I totally understand!  You were missed my friends, you were missed!  There is always next month!  There was a bigger turnout this month so I expect more girls for August!  

After brunch Melanie Fellers came over with a "gift" for the girls.  The lovely gift was an adorable teddy bear from Seattle.  The less adorable part was that the teddy bear was clutching a lollipop the size of the Space Needle.  NIce Mel, nice!  Should have seen the looks on their faces.   They were in heaven.  Mel laughed and laughed knowing there wasn't a way in hell I would be able to not let them have the lollies!  I get the last laugh tho, I took a hammer and smashed off a large percentage of the offending lollie leaving a manageable piece at the top!  ha ha.. here are the little piggies, er.. darlings:


With giant lollies in hand we paced us up a yesteryear british lunch picnic and hit Riley Park.  Once there we ran into some friends from the neighbourhood!

 I love Vancouver.  I love our community and I love that we don't have to drive if we don't want to!  I am so lucky to have everything!  All my petty complaints aside I have a wonderful husband who loves me, two of the most beautiful, smartest children I've ever met, not one but 2 fun part time jobs, the very best friends a girl can ask for and a great family that keeps  on growing with little ones popping up at least once a year!  I have everything and I'm so lucky!  I love you all everyone and I'm so lucky to have you!

Let me be the first to say hello. Sounds like you have been a busy little beaver. Kids are wonderful aren't they. Good for you for the sucker limit. I know my kids get more than I would like.
Hope all goes well.

and we love you back awesome daughter!!
Good to see that you are taking time out for the women in your life because they sustain us all.
Behind (slightly) sisters, our g/f's are the best thing in our lives especially when we live such busy lives.
If it weren't for Jacqui and Judy I don't honestly know where I would be now!
Thank you for celebrating your friends Vashti. Makes me aware of mine.
I love you all very much,
mama

such gratitude! Commendable! We had to muster up some of ours last night, it works but we have to get in the habit of being greatful, Sounds like you are right in que!
With all the complete SHIT that has happened in my life, I am thankful that I got through it, and have the memories and lessons that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
Keep up with the attitude, your kids will suck it up like sponges, not that they aren't 130% perfect anyways :)
