The Great Wolf Lodge is great big fun!!!

Brad, Ceilidh, Noah and I spent Tuesday night and most of Wednesday at the Great Wolf Lodge. They had discount rooms for a special promotion and my BRILLIANT husband booked one for us. The room was huge with a great romantic fireplace and a nice balcony with a huge bed and a kitchenette. The kids had their own "cabin" complete with bunkbeds and their own tv and video game system. Ceilidh was so excited that she could lay in bed and watch Treehouse!!! We spent most of Tuesday evening in the water park but made it to the lobby in time for the bedtime story. The animals in the photo move and talk and there was a guy named Jay who told the kids 2 stories. We had breakfast early and then hit the water park again. After many water slides and rides and wave pool time we came home and collapsed. Kids and dad slept in today but did make it to school on time. We have many photos and many memories of all the fun we had. The one that stands out the most is when we all went on one raft slide and Noah was laughing so hard he completely missed the ride. He kept saying "Is that it? What happened? Is it done? Again again again". So of course we did it a few more times.

I highly recommend this place. I don't think I would ever pay the $500.00 a night they ask for it but the discount day was perfect. The food there was just ok but everything else was fabulous. Very clean and the lifeguards were friendly and really alert. Ceilidh had one little upset and the lifeguard was instantly over to her. The only thing that wasn't so great was I forgot that people with MVP's are supposed to stay away from humidity and extreme temps. So after a few hours straight in the water park Wednesday I got, well, sick. But other than that I'd go back again in a heartbeat. We really, really, really enjoyed the time together as a family and Brad and I really needed the break away from everything. We came home to 7 messages on our answering machine but oh well, such is life.

So if you ever get the chance to go...GO, DO IT!! It's well worth it - so much fun. Sorry I'm ranting now. Anyway it was fun. Yeah Oh yeah. I

God is good. It seems I may still have a job in January after all.

Okay here is the update. In the summer I gave my supervisor a letter stating that I would have to give up doing Homecare at my job because as of January Brad would need our van to get to Mac for school. So I was told today by my supervisor that my homecare job would have to be posted and I would have to train whoever they hire for this. This makes me very sad because I have, for the most part, really enjoyed the homecare just not all the travelling around and politics. I'm really going to miss all the elderly people at the nursing homes I visit and I'm even gonna miss the jail. I really love the staff there. My supervisor told me that I will probably see a reduction in my hours but they won't know for sure until possibly next week. They will "let me know". God is good and I trust Him completely. He knows what we need and what needs to happen for Brad to go to school so I really have not been worried about this, nor was I concerned about my meeting today. Brad on the other hand at first got really worried. You know the typical but how will we afford school and daycare and, and, and... I felt bad because I had a really great day today and I knew he was concerned and I wasn't. But again God is very good because at the end of the day when Brad picked me up from work he was much better and I was still in a great mood so the day ended on a good note.

A long time ago I learned to give up all financial concerns to God. I know I cannot accomplish anything without Him and I used to worry all the time about money. I decided one night a long time ago that I wasn't going to lose sleep any more about money. I trust God more than anything with everything - He can't screw up but I can and will without Him. So that night I had the best night's sleep I ever had and I've never had to be concerned since. I am again not concerned because I don't have to be. Who better to give my future over to than God? With Him I cannot possibly go wrong.

And hey if I need to I could always get a part time job at Tim Hortons. Mmmmm coffee and donuts all day!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmm. ;-)
