Firstly I just want to say that I hope all of you had a great Christmas. Been lucky enough that this is my 3rd one in a row with my hubby. Hopefully next year it will be permanent for all of us here.
I also just want to say how sorry I am that I haven't posted in a while but as you all know, it is a very busy time of year. Now as promised I will post quotes for the missing days and activities as well. Sorry this may be a long post so just warning you. And again just sorry if they aren't all too great but somedays it is harder for me to be creative than others.

INLAND WAITING ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
If you haven't gone to college yet or are planning to attend one again, spend this valuable time researching schools around you. Go in for an interview and ask a few questions. Take notes for future references until you are ready to attend school. Also, now would be a good time to start investing a few dollars or so to a college fund either for you or your older children and maybe start investigating ways to afford school in a proper way.

"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly."
INLAND WAITING ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
Even though you may not be financially stable right now or maybe not as much as you would like to be (we all understand this part) this shouldn't stop you from dreaming of your own home or apartment. You can start making future plans about where you want to live, how many bedrooms, what rules you will have, etc. This is the time to start planning your future before your future catches up. Maybe you can do what I like to call back home "house watching". You drive or walk around the neighborhoods looking at all the different places. Discuss what you don't like and do like. Look online and there are also sites you can build a virtual dream home on. Have fun with it. That way when you get a job, AIP, or PR, you will already know what you are looking for and can start finding your dream home together.

QUOTE OF THE DAY (Sun. Dec 26, 10)
"What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it."
INLAND WAITING ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
Use this time to maybe plan a getaway trip for just the two of you or your family. Maybe not in the nearest future but just sometime. It will give you time to be creative and excited about something again. After you get PR then you can book the trip the two of you have wanted to go on and it will be a much needed vacation. We all love Canada but sometimes we need to travel other places. It will give a romantic getaway to find the romance that maybe the process of this has dwindled down from all the stress. It will give you something to look forward to again. It is okay to let yourself let go of this process and imagine a happy moment. If you see it and believe it, it will happen.

"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible."
INLAND WAITING ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
If you can afford the gas, go on a roadtrip with the family. Show them places they may not get a chance to see later on. Plus it is a nice opportunity to get to know this country and all its beautiful landscape. Be sure to take plenty of pictures and make a scrapbook to remind you of the fun getaway you had with the family. Family vacations are always important in keeping a family stress free and close with each other. It gives you time to reconnect. Who knows, maybe you will make it a tradition for the family.
