Happy Homemaker 2024-07-15

Good morning 

Well still another busy week last week... picked up all around the house inside / out with roofers here the week before.  Still have front windows I want to rewash (or rather have dh rewash) and wash patio floor and basement floor.  Had grandkids for supper on Wednesday and Friday.  They sleptover on Friday (parents were at the music festival in Quebec City). We brought them to the small pier, they played in the sand in campground next to pier, ice cream at McD's, watched the procession at Ste-Anne Basilica and visited inside - they did good not speaking or running. Saturday morning dh, ds, and grandkids went to Xavier's baseball - this gave me time to pick up a bit before dd got here with family. Great family time, all left around 2:00 to go home

Thursday I received email I was accepted for govt exam... on MONDAY! today!!! almost no time to study with house full all weekend.  crossing my fingers.  Please send positive vibes that I pass... it won't change my job as I know they have already selected the names before the exam (I saw the list of names pass since I take care of this).  

Ok, so I NEED so time to rest... been too busy last few weeks.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .
