what a week. i'm pooped. tired. taking care of a sick toddler a 3 month old and myself (still not feeling 100%) has made for a very, very long week. hopefully the weekend will make up for it. mackenzie is feeling a bit better but her fever keeps coming and going. time to see the doctor.

i had some excitement last weekend that i didn't get a chance to mention on the blog. i got to be on the radio!!! i was invited to go on the show " real parenting" on C-Fax 1070 with host amy bronee to do a segment on filling in the blanks about parenting - ex. "if i didn't have kids i would "blank" more. it was lots of fun to do and let me tell you, the moment i stepped into the booth and put those headphones on i said to myself that i need to do it again. i loved it.

i think the icing on the cake was when the hubs picked me up (him & the kids listened to the show in the car) and mackenzie said "mommy you sounded beeeeaaauuutiful"! i got to share the airwaves with tabitha, co-creator of the " savvy squirrel coupon book" here in victoria. if you don't have one of these handy little booklets and live in town go pick one up. i've got one and boy is it filled with goodies galore! click here to find out more and get saving some pennies.

i hope this weekend brings me a little bit of r&r, boy do i feel like i need it. i've got some reading planned with a book i've been dying to finish and hopefully a date with my sewing machine. of course, i'm also hoping to have a yummy coffee from somewhere other than my kitchen, a breakfast made by my handsome hubby, and lots of cuddles with my 3 yr old and 3 month old....now that's what i call a good weekend.

totally off topic, i'm wondering how many of you don't have cable and your thoughts on it. we're trying to decide if we want to cancel our cable, not because we hate tv, but we would rather watch movies and shows we already have and find ourselves watching most of the shows we enjoy online now. i'd love to hear your thoughts.
