With family, you're richer than you think!

Well hello!!!
  This isn't my usual Sunday evening post, but a day late isn't so bad!! What a week we had!! I have to say, it's getting much easier to be at mom and dads.  Everything seems to be falling back into place as it was, minus our babe!!
  Last week was pretty slack.  I really slacked on my school work, which is not good, seeing as how there is only 10 weeks of school left!  Time to pick up my socks and get my ass in gear!  We were kind of busy last week, with having to get the house clean, and keeping the kids occupied.
  At the end of the week, I took off on Friday after lunch.  Went and picked up my hubby, we had Chinese food for lunch and went home to relax.  Adam's been fighting this strain of virus that has hit the island, and has been for the last two weeks.  This morning I woke up feeling nasty with a stuffy nose!! Not a good way to start off the week, but if I'm alive and kicking, then that's all that matters.  Saturday morning, we slept in, as we usually get to do b/c it's Adam's only day off and decided to go to the farmers market.  For those of you that are not really familiar with it, it's a market in which everything is island made, grown, crafted, etc.  We go there for the food!!! You will not get better food around dinner time on a Saturday unless it's at the market.  So we venture out as a fam-jam, and meet Adam's dad, Leonard.  The kids love seeing Grampy Len, and it's probably b/c he spoils them to death!! Then again, what grandparent doesn't?  So the girls got their smoothies, Nik got her mini-donuts, Emm had her pulled for "sammich", Len had his filoful  *Spelling*, and Adam and I both had our usual; a large Chicken Schwarma!! OM NOM NOM!!!! After we leave, we head to his dad's house so the two of them can fix the sound system in the truck!!! I got to visit with Len's wife, Mindy.  Oh how I loath someone who treats others like they are lower than scum.  I try and have an open mind towards her........................... Nah, fuck that!! No I don't!! HA!  There's something about her that makes you wanna just lash out irrationally!! We finally got home and finished out our lazy day.
  I slept until probably 5:00pm, when Emm came home wondering if she could go for a sleep over!  So Emm takes off across the road and that left Nik to be home with us.  She was less than impressed, but we need to let her know that she can't have her way all the time.  So nik and I laid in bed and it was almost 7:50pm. I look at Nik and I say to her "I want to go skating!"  She was ecstatic, number one, b/c it was dark out and past her bed time, and number two, it was past her bed time!!!  I text Adam, b/c I was far too lazy to roar down the stairs at him, and tell him we're going to a rink.  He looked at me like I had six heads!!! I told him that the night time was the best time to go skating, b/c the ice is super hard, and next to no one goes.  We get down to Founders Hall, where one of the outdoor rinks are, and skated until about 9 PM.  We had a blast!! I was even more excited that Adam came!! He's not really a winter person, but now that he's been watching us skate, he wants to get his own and learn!!! I'm soo happy!!!
  Yesterday, Sunday, the girls and I trucked out to mom and dads for a birthday supper.  This month is Emma's birthday, and my Niece,Rhaya (Pronounced Ray-a).  So we had the birthday supper for them together.  My parents made homemade meatballs and fries, Meg *my sister* baked a fantastic chocolate cake from scratch, and I made homemade ice cream to go along with it.  We were beyond full.  Nothing tastes better than a home cooked meal.  As mom and I call it, Comfort food!!  We got there around 3:30pm, and the kids bundled up to head outside.  Poppy got his snow suit on and away the kids and him went on the ski-doo.  Sweetums and I could be accounted for rolling around in the snow.  I just love seeing him, and I just love being home.  It's the best stress relief for me!  Nothing makes me more mellow than going out there!!  It was an all around fantastic day.
  On Thursday, Adam and I are off to Moncton General Hospital for my surgery.  I'm nervous, but looking forward to it at the same time, so we can finally see where the inflammation is  for my Crohns. So hopefully all will go well there!

well, I'm not getting any school work done, so I'll leave it at this!

Just remember that you don't need all the riches in the world to be happy.  As long as you have family by your side,then you are the richest person ever.  I thoroughly enjoy my riches!!! <3
