Some Chit Chat and Updates…
First I just have to say that you Americans sure mean business on Black Friday. Wow, no matter where I went online yesterday it was just dead(unless it was a place trying to sell stuff 
).
I would not have wanted to get in your way… and as a terrible shopper I’d have to say there would be NO WAY you’d have seen me out on Black Friday, even if I lived in the there.
We have our Canadian equivalent to Black Friday the day after Christmas, called Boxing Day. Crazy shoppers get out and brave the crowds very early in the morning searching for the best deal. NOT ME - I never enjoyed shopping, and no way do I go to a store when it’s crazy busy… hell I even do my to avoid Saturday shopping, as a stay at home mom, I have that option. 
Anyway, I hope you all found amazing deals and are that much closer to having your Christmas shopping done.
Now for the chit chat and updates…
I’m taking off in the morning for a weeks vacation. We did the exact same holiday last year, and the kids had a blast. By this time of year, my kids are certainly ready for a break from school. My oldest is so excited to go, and my youngest even gets a sparkle in his eye when I tell him we’re going swimming again.
I wasn’t really wanting to go this year and would have much rather canceled the vacation. I’m feeling a huge rush with just getting back home after the renovation, Christmas Eve being only one month from today 
and my youngest going in for some surgery yet before Christmas.
No way I need a week of relaxation right now, right? Well that’s what I was thinking until this morning. I’ll get everything done, I always do. And hey, if I don’t it won’t be the worst thing in the world. I’ve kind of been in a funk lately, and maybe a week away will be the rest I need to get my head on straight again.
I’m trying to prepare some posts for you while I’m gone, so you don’t forget to visit Home with Heather, and leave me some comment love Today I’m packing and blogging. Last day of working for a week, might be a nice change.
We will get back next Saturday, or Sunday and then my youngest goes in for some surgery on December 4th. I’ll make sure I stop in and say hey before then.
I hope you Americans are enjoying the rest of your holiday weekend, and having lots of great family time to boot. 
Expect the Best,
black friday, boxing day, family fun, family vacation, Taking a Break!, updates

Cool. Kids definitely deserve a vacation after all the hassles they go through in school. (I’m just 23 and my school memories are still fresh in my mind and I can say this with authority
) Keep you handycam ready, I’ll definitely expect some pictures when you return to blogsville. 
BTW, where are you going for your vacation?

We are going to a place called Radium Hot Springs. It’s in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Just beautiful this time of year with the snow on the mountains. The wild life comes right up to out deck everyday for their breakfast and the kids really do enjoy the time away.
I will be taking many pictures.

Heather!
I’m just now getting caught up on your great blog posts. I just finished reading that your son would have surgery on December 4th. That was yesterday! How did it go? Is he doing O.K.? Are you O.K.?
Please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything I can do to help. Do you need a guest blog post? I may be a Nutritionist but I know enough about internet marketing that I’m sure I could write something helpful…
Take care,
Lori

Hi Lori,
Thanks for your concern. I just got home tonight. It was suppose to be a simple day trip, and some things went VERY wrong - he stopped breathing and wouldn’t stop bleeding… I know we’ve got angels watching us, and things are ok now. My son is home with me, in pain but home and on his way to recovery. It was like living a nightmare all week
