heaven is for easy girls

It's spring break. Yup. Ten days with four children = impending sense of doom.

Not really. We have many plans including;

• three days on saltspring


• swimming


• a movie - at the theatre!


• bonfire with s'mores and hot dogs


• clean yard


• make a new video


• bowling


• a trip to victoria to go to the giant toy store, visit chinatown and all our old favourite parks


• buy toby his own computer that he can use at school to help him with his work.

Also included, but not necessarily fun for the under nine set - sleep. Lots of sleep.

I am suffering from effexor withdrawal. Symptoms include (from the manufacturer):

agitation, anorexia, anxiety, confusion, coordination impaired, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, dysphoric mood, fasciculation, fatigue, headaches, hypomania, insomnia, nausea, nervousness, nightmares, sensory disturbances (including shock-like electrical sensations), somnolence, sweating, tremor, vertigo, and vomiting.

For me?
agitation - check
anorexia - trouble eating.
anxiety - double check
confusion - always
coordination impaired - well, i have a broken tailbone.
diarrhea - so fun

Oh heck - just say yes to all of the above except vomiting. The fun is never ending.

At least my slightly green pallor goes well with this irish holiday.
