Oh yes, I'm way behind again.
Wednesday was a great day! Last day of work with Grimshaw. I really hope that the girl I hired works out.
Wednesday was also supposed to be "Weigh-In" day, but I totally forgot. I'm not going to lie, I didn't really want to know. I know that I haven't been eating well, and honestly, I haven't been on my very expensive workout equipment in a while. Bad Kara, I know.
But, Wednesday was a busy day. Getting ready for what we did on Thursday...

Tuesday September 6
Well, John made a lot more progress yesterday, including installing the crazy death stairs. The back of our deck is so tall that we have to have like 7 stairs or something, but John couldn't get runners that would work properly, so he bought something to work in the meantime. I'm terrified of them. They're like attic stairs. I hope we can get them fixed REALLY soon.
Yesterday was also my first whole day training the new girl. She's doing very well. I think it's going to take her a few days to get into the routine once I'm gone, but I'm sure she will do fine. I have to remember to show her a few more things today, and then I should be ok.
Yesterday was also an Oil Wives executive meeting. I'm so done with Oil Wives right now, but I think it's just the onslaught of convention. I'm really really hoping that once convention is over it will be fun again. I just didn't even want to be there at all last night. And everything has to be discussed when really it doesn't, and it seems to me that we waste a lot of time. So lame.
Anyways, now you are caught up. I have to go have a shower and prepare for my last day at Grimshaw Trucking!

Monday the real work started. The deck boards were finally starting to get screwed down!
John and my dad made some progress, and then John made HUGE progress after my dad went home. I actually got to sit out on the deck (the back of it anyways) and it was awesome. I enjoyed a few cups of tea while waiting for John to need my help! Progress, progress.

Sunday, September 4
Sunday we got started on the deck, but only after another trip to Dawson Creek to go to Home Hardware to get more wood. Dad and John both forgot about something, and of course there is no hardware store in Fort St John open on a Sunday, let alone a Sunday of the long weekend. So, off to Dawson Creek John and I went. The boys made some really good progress Saturday, and I helped a little. I basically just held the level. But, I did my part anyways.
Saturday, September 3
I know I've been MIA for a while, and I will be again this weekend, so I better get caught up with what's been going on!
Saturday John and I got more stuff going for our deck. Then Mom and I went into Dawson Creek for the afternoon (huge waste of time!). It was a nice relaxing Saturday, that's for sure!

Kids
I know this isn't a new subject for me, but I have kids on the brain. And not baby fever either. Like, can I really have kids? Do I really want to do that?
We're going on vacation next year, to Mexico for a friend's wedding, and the first thing I saw was that there is a kid's program at the resort, and I freaked. I don't want kids around when I'm on vacation! How bad is that?
Now, I know that one thought isn't enough to make me a bad mom-to-be (if it is to be), but I have those thoughts all the time. I hear a kid whining, and I want to smack it quiet. I see a kid running through a store without the parent, and I want to kick the parent's ass. I just don't know.
Even when we're with kids, I feel uncomfortable. Not when we're with them for just a little while. But like, we went camping with some friends on May long weekend, and I was so uncomfortable with their kids.
I don't know. I'm going back and forth, back and forth. Kids drive me nuts, but do I want to go through my life without kids? Ugh. I don't know. Eff.

September?!?
I can't believe it's the first day of September already! The weather is sure making me believe, but I was hoping that since we had such a crappy summer that we'd get a little bit more of a chance at it! Oh well. C'est la vie.
Good news is that I've found someone to replace me. She's young - just graduated last year, and has no experience. I'd like to give her a chance though. I think it's important to give people chances when they are trying something new, like people didn't really give me. It is giving her a chance to figure out what she wants to do with her life, which is great. I also think that she'll be quick to learn, so that will help greatly. It's going to be a rather boring last few days if she does catch on really quickly. I'll be sitting back a lot and not doing anything, which is fine, but damn, will it ever be boring!
Anyways, time to relax. I've already been on the tread climber today, maybe tomorrow I'll attempt the bow flex!
