Tag: #IfWeWereHavingTea

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we ended our school week with a bit of drama. Apparently Thursday kids from Michael’s school and a French high school in the area had an altercation and a fight broke out and then later that afternoon a graffiti threat was left on a city bus saying that there was going to be a massacre on Friday at Michael’s high school. Needless to say I kept him home on Friday. Thankfully nothing happened and three kids from the French school were arrested from the Thursday incident and the graffiti threat is still under investigation.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Thursday night I went to an author event at a local book store with Jennifer and I will be talking about that this week with a review of the book.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I was a little bit sad that I wasn’t able to attend BEA in Chicago because it seemed like everyone who went had alot of fun. Next year for sure.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that we will be hitting up IKEA today to grab a few items because we are going to be redoing certain areas in the house finally. Hoping to paint this summer and complete the basement so that I can set up my library down there.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I prepping this week for Michael’s confirmation on Saturday. We have quite a bit to do this week in order to get ready for the event. The main thing is cleaning and prepping the food.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I starting to ease up on my planner decorating kits because I think I actually have enough to get me into the fall. So I will only need to order monthly spreads now.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you:

If we were having tea… I would tell you that yes even though its mother’s day I am still up extremely earlier because I just couldn’t sleep. Everyone else is still sleeping.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have no idea what is planned for today but I am hoping to go out for lunch and I was thinking of driving to Hawkesbury to hit up the dollar tree and dollarama there in hopes of finding some planner decorating items

If we were having tea... I would tell you that yesterday I got to meet up with Tina from Bookshipper for breakfast and then we head to Costco.. man was that a huge mistake. Getting into the parking lot and store was no problem but exiting was awful. I think we waiting in line for about 20 minutes until I switched lanes and did the loop and came back and it was still another 15 minutes to leave that street..

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am okay this week with not going to BEA 16 in Chicago. I ain’t gonna lie I miss not being able to go but I have justified it by saying it wasn’t worth it for me especially if I need to ship books back to Canada. To all those going have fun..

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am in the midst of planning Michael’s confirmation. It happens the weekend of the 21st so we are just doing family nothing big and the cake has been ordered.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I was hoping it would be a quiet week but it turned into the exact opposite. With dentist appointments. faith first classes and hockey it was busy this week. If that didn’t make it busy enough my washing machine went kaput on Tuesday so we had to rush out to buy another one that will only be here is week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael enjoyed the past week because he was off Monday (the elementary schools were visiting the high schools they will be attending this fall) and Thursday the academic plus students went to Ottawa for the day visiting a war museum and a Canadian History museum.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this past week I started to get a lot of my etsy orders in and I am loving everything I have ordered.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I am slowly discovering some Canadian etsy shops that do the planner decorating so I will be ordering from them this week. If you happen to know of any Canadian etsy shops please let me know.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have started working in my planner and I have a few things set up and now that I have the majority of my orders in I can’t wait to dig in and decorate. I am thinking of perhaps making this a Monday weekly feature.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that today is our final team event of our regular season hockey. Our party is this afternoon and the kids gifts have been purchased as well as the coaches gifts.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this was a quiet weekend. We had no hockey or other commitments. It was still a do something weekend for us as we went summer clothes shopping for Michael as he needed shorts, tshirts and sneakers (hopefully he will get to wear the tshirts and shorts soon) and groceries.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this week was Michael’s 13th birthday. Where has the time gone?  He is an amazing young man who is caring and compassionate.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this past week I spent alot of time on etsy looking at people who were selling planner decorating kits. If you know of any Canadian etsy sellers who sell planner kits/stickers can you please let me know as I am on the hunt.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I did order a few (perhaps I went a little over board) kits from various etsy sellers and I have to say that I am a little nervous that I will be hit with duty when it arrives at my door. Fingers crossed it won’t be that bad. Do you decorate your planner?

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have started working in my planner and I have a few things set up. I am hoping to share that with you some time this week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am in the final stretch of the party planning for the hockey team. We ordered the end of year gifts for the kits and had certificates made up as well. It should be a fun party for the kids.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this is the first weekend we had no hockey or any other family commitments.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I ended up buying a new pair of sneakers yesterday. I really needed new ones since the last pair I had were from my first BEA trip in 2010. They have gotten plenty of love, three trips to NYC (and when I go to NYC I literally walk everywhere) plus a trip to Europe (walked alot there) and so much more.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am going back to taking advantage of the library now that the weather is nicer. I picked up these two books to read this week:

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I think the weather is starting to finally be spring like which I can’t wait for because I am tired of the cold, rain and blah weather. I need some sun and warmth.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this week is Michael’s 13th birthday. Its hard to believe that he is already 13. Where did the time go?

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am in the midst of spring cleaning. Friday I managed to purge a ton of books (you can see that list next week) and I started cleaning the bedroom. I already donated two full bags of clothes that no longer fit myself or Michael. Feels good to tackle that task.
