Sometimes, I hate breakfast

Hi

I hate breakfast sometimes. GGGRRRR. I ate an hour ago...yep. An.Hour.Ago. And I am STARVING!!! I had oatmeal and a coffee. IT was quite yummy. But I notice sometimes, that when I eat breakfast I am much more hungry than if I just skip it altogether. My stomach is growling and I am seeing stars I am so hungry. I have to say to everyone out there, wtf? lol

Anyway, on other news, things are going alright. I went back to work yesterday, and I called up B to see how she was and to tell her about a double bed that I'd found. (for my work client). She was telling me about when she leaves, (bc she's moving out east) she thinks that out of all the ppl she knows are applying for the position that I have the most seniority, work experience, etc etc. So, she thinks I should get it. She amuses me b/c that has nothing to do with it unless my supervisor decides to go that route. I will apply for it and keep my fingers and toes crossed that it will be for that other house that I love so much.

Then we figured out our finances...gestimates, based on my current rate of pay, with the extra hours and then worst case babysitting costs. (because we'd have to get a sitter...no matter what). It could cost us about 400.00/month for babysitting...at the most. I wouldn't be making much more after that than I am now. However, it's just a guess and we'd know more once I knew the rate of pay and the days I'd have to work. Chris thinks it would just be cheaper for him to go to PT and work only three days a week and only pay a sitter for one of those days. I dunno.

My hands are really dry...stupid hands..haha. Anyways, I am going to run for now. Leave a note

Hi!

Well, all is well in my household today. Chris got home last night at 8:50pm. He hurt his sore ankle by slamming it against a skid or a machine, don't know which so he could hardly walk when he got home. I suggested he have a bath (being that we live the life of luxury now) to help his foot. So he gets in the tub and is talking away, when all of a sudden Paul wakes up. Well, Chris jumped up, bubbles and all, quickly dried his self off and ran over to get Paul! It was so funny. (chris hasn't seen Paul since Sun night). When Paul realized it was daddy,he was all smiles and wanted to be hugged and hugged. adorable. After the Paul thing, he went back and finished his bath followed by a foot massage by me b/c his feet were still throbbing. yes, I can be nice sometimes :P

Today, Chris had to be at work for 7am, which is a bit better. So we didn't take the car. Paul woke up at 8:20am, and we went about our usual morning and things. I put him down for his nap and the little funny boycotter man boycotted his morning nap!!! haha. SO, we decided to go for a stroller ride and we went to mcdonalds for lunch. (well, I ate, Paul played. He had a good time and was very facinated by the grandma type lady beside us, and the man in the business suit across from us).

When we got back it was noon. So, I gave Paul his lunch and put him down for his nap. SO far, he's still sleeping. haha. Cheryl just called and she is going to come over for tea for around 3pm which is nice. I'm looking forward to that. :)

Anyways, that's my news for now. Leave a note.

Hi!

Well, as u all know, Chris had to get up at 4am today to go to work for 5am. Luckily we don't live too far way from his work. haha. Anyways, Chris is NEVER allowed to get up that early ever again! When Chris walked out the door at 4:45am, guess who woke up? Yeppers. My babes. Now, this normally is no big deal, just change the diaper and he goes back to sleep. ya...nope. Paul was up crying until 6:50am was the last time I heard him cry. Now, I am not a bad mommy, I got up every 20 minutes and readusted him, got him to stop crying, turned the bear on, but as soon as I would leave he would wail and the process would repeat itself. I was NOT happy. However, when Paul did fall back to sleep, he woke up at 8:20am which was MUCH better.

So after we got dressed, we came down and I made up the bottles for the day and Paul's cereal b/c I forgot yesterday...(I know..a first ever). Then we had his bottle and then Paul helped me make supper for tonight. We are having a roast with potatos and veges in the slow cooker. mmmmmm We decided yesterday that it would be a good idea to get a roast and put in the slow cooker b/c that would be Chris' lunch for like the rest of the week as he will get supper (hopefully) at work. Anyways, so Paul and I put that together. Then we had his cereal and I had my cereal. Then we did the dishes and took out the garbage and cleaned the kitty litter and fed teh cats. Then Paul was tired, so he went down for his nap by 10am.

Chris isn't expected to be home until 9pm, he thinks at the latest. We'll see. I hope not, b/c I know Chris will literally just come home and crash. I hate mothers day. (and this one is my very first, and it's going to be overshowded by chris' work).

I'm not really sure what we are going to do today. Maybe we will go for a stroller ride this afternoon for something to do. I prefer going for stroller rides either first thing in the morning or in the early afternoon between his two naps. It passes the time and it's nice to get out being that we don't have a vehicle.

Oh...we got a Dodge Caravan...2001! I'm so thrilled :) We are getting it the Friday before May 24, I do believe, if everything works out. I'm so excited!!!

Anyways, I am going to run. Leave a note!!!!

Paul is HOME

  • May. 4th, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi!

My baby is home again!!! I missed him SOOO much! I couldn't believe how much more grown up he looks compared to Wed when I dropped him off at my moms! He is just so cute!

Paul had a great time at Grandma's for vacation. He can't wait to come back and visit KC and Comet. I think he actually misses those dogs. However, Paul has adjusted well to being home again. Even if he got up before 6am for the day today. haha.

Mom and Lisa dropped Paul off around 2:30-ish. They stayed and visited till about 6pm. That was so nice. I really enjoyed their visit. I always do, but it was just so fun. I got to show Lisa our new place and she really loved it. She even gave Paul his nap time bottle for me. How adorable was that!

Chris made us a really nice breakfast and he is now out cutting grass for his clients. I am *hoping* he will be home by lunch. Paul is napping. This afternoon, weather premitting, we are going to go for a walk to the grocery store to get a few things. I want to get a big roast and potatos for supper in the slow cooker for tomorrow night, so that should be enough for Chris' lunch for the week, and a little something for dinner tonight.

Chris has to be at work for 5am tomorrow morning. That means he has to get up for 4am for the DAY! *uurgh* He thinks he will still be at work till between 9 and 10pm that night, and work close to the same hours on Tuesday as well. Hopefully he won't have to start till 7am though *crosses fingers, but not holding my breath*.

I won't have the vehicle Mon or Tues for sure, so I am not sure what our plans are going to be for those two days. Having the vehicle at least once during my days off when chris works really helps out. I normally like to have it on either mon or tues...oh well, I am sure we will come up with something :P

Anyways, I guess I should run for now. Leave a note.

Hi.

I took today off too. I am not sick sick...but I just feel exhausted, weak, slightly stuffy nose, and just not here. So, I managed to find coverage for my shift, AFTER setting the alarm clock to PM instead of AM and making Chris late for work :( Not fun. I felt horrible about that. We were suppose to be up by 6am, and instead we didn't wake up till 7:05am when we were BOTH suppose to already be at work.

After Chris left for work, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't so I thought maybe a shower would make me feel better, and it did...temporarily. I made breakfast, felt alright. Then my cousins called b/c they are going thru the city on a weekend away and asked if they could come visit, and I said sure...and NOW I feel crappy again. :( I don't know what is wrong with me.

I also feel guilty for calling in sick two days in a row when I am not deathly ill, and could have probably worked, I would have just not done my usual fabulous job. *sigh* I am too critical of myself sometimes.

On other news, Paul is coming home today!!!!!!! I am very excited to see him. I miss my babes. Chris and I were talking about it last night, and we decided that we definatly miss him a whole lot, but not the every day constant life work stuff that goes along with it..haha. We don't miss doing bedtime routine, and bottles and listening to him cry and all that stuff. lol But I wouldn't give it up! He's my babes :)

I'm looking forward to seeing mom and Lisa too. Lisa hasn't seen my new house yet, so I am excited to show her around. Plus, I didn't get to spend much time with mom on Wed, so I am hoping they stay for a few hours anyways before leaving. I know Lisa has plans later on, and she wants to leave sooner than later, but I am hoping they will stay for awhile.

Anyways, I think I might go and take a nap before my cousins come.

I'm not going to work today. DE got coverage b/c she called me to see if I'd come in early for her b/c she's not feeling good either. but when she found out I wasnt feeling well either, she managed to find coverage for me too...which NEVER happens...weird.

I'm so glad I don't have to play mom today. I don't know how mom's do it when they aren't well.

I'm such a baby sometimes.

I don't feel well!!!!!!!!

ack!

I slept well last night, which was great. I woke up this morning and I feel like I have a massive hangover or something. my head is all cloudy, my nose is stuffy, my body is exhausted, my eyes hurt and I feel a bit nausous, even though I can still eat.

I'm glad I don't have to take care of Paul today, that he is still at my mom's house. I just don't think I could do it. I don't even want to go into work today. Stupid work ppl.

And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired!!!!!!!!

I have no reason to feel like this. None whatsoever.

But I do....SOOOO that's my news.

I'm so glad that Paul is at my mom's till at least tomorrow, but hopefully sunday...but I doubt it. I think Lisa wants to get rid of Paul asap b/c she has plans on Sunday...lol. I don't really care, I am just so grateful to them for taking care of him in the first place. They totally rock the socks!!!

I have no idea what I am even saying...I'm THHAT out of it.

SO, I will go now. sya.

Hi!

The house is so quiet...it's weird. haha. So, Paul is at Grandma's house with Aunt Lisa. He's having a great time. Yesterday, was such a busy day. Paul and I got the oil changed before heading out. Then we stopped at Chris' mom's so Paul could spend about an hour and a half there, while I went to set up everything at my mom's house. Lisa and I then went to Timmy's to get some lunch on the way back to get Paul.

I was SOOOOOO proud of him for how well he adapted to being at my mom's house with Lisa, whom he hasn't really seen since xmas. He never cried once and he was so excited to see the puppy dogs (Comet and KC). We took him for a stroller ride to the grocery store to get him milk and yogurt. Then Lisa and Paul played for a bit before his bottle and his nap. Then when he got up, he ate all of his dinner and then played on the floor and laughed his ass off at the puppy's. IT was so funny. I didn't want to leave b/c he was having such a great time! But I had to get back.

Apparently, Paul played forever before he realized that I wasn't even there anymore. Even then he didn't cry, but he's now Lisa's suck. It was funny to hear. I guess Paul slept all night till mom's alarm went off at 7am.

I'm so glad they are having a good time. :)

As for me, I got back home here before 9pm. Chris and I decided to go for a walk which we did. Then when we slept we got to sleep all night. It was awsome. I took Chris to work this morning and it was so weird not getting Paul ready to go out etc. Then I decided to call Cheryl and see if she wants to go out for breakfast, baby free. So I am meeting her a little bit later. I should be home around 1:30, and that will give me about 2 hours before I have to go to work. Then tomorrow will be my 'chill' day where I don't go anywhere, I just hang out at home.

I'm having a great time...but I have to say, that when you do the same things pretty much every day, like Paul's routines etc, and then you don't have to do it for a few days, it is really weird...I almost feel lost a bit, but I am having a great time b/c I know Paul is in very good hands and I trust my sister and mom. It's a very nice break and I am so appreciative. :)

Hi!

I took Paul to the drs yesterday afternoon. It was just teething apparently. The dr checked him over and apparently everything is fine, he's just teething. Whatever.

On other news, I'm in good spirits today. I'm doing all the laundry. (I know, a day later than normal, but I decided to wait so I have the optimum clothes for my babes washed). I also made supper already so all I have to do is put it in the oven tonight, which is really going to help me out later on. I made homemade mac and cheese and sausuages. YUM! Then I did the dishes and am hanging out down here for awhile.

Later on, after I get all Paul's laundry done, (it's in the dryer right now), I have to pack up all his stuff for his 'vacation' at Grandmas. I am going to miss him SOOOOO much!!!! I haven't even told him about it yet. I will wait till a bit later today to tell him. I am currently waiting for Lisa to call me so I can confirm what 'extra' things she wants me to bring for Paul's vacation. That way I don't miss anything. I'm looking forward to sleeping in Thurs and Fri and having that break though. :)

Other than that, I am not up to an awful lot. I will probably just hang out and what not. I am not sure when Chris will be home tonight. I don't expect to see him till late, so that is probably a good thing.

Anyways, that's my news for now. Leave a note

my sick baby

Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi ya!

Paul is going to the drs at 1:45pm this afternoon. I don't really know what is wrong with him. But I don't think it's teething anymore. Yesterday all day he didn't have a fever, but he just looked exhausted and he was super cuddly and just content to lay in our arms for an extended period of time, which is very unusual for him and he didn't want to play much. He didn't eat well. He did eat his meals and drink his bottles but he didn't eat or drink all of it. He didn't have quite the appetite that he normally has.

He slept mostly all night last night. He woke up fussy at 10 and was still up at 11:30, but he went back to sleep. I slept the rest of the night but chris reports that Paul woke up several times last night but put himself back to sleep, so Chris didn't actually have to get up. Then when I went to get him this morning, his sheets and pjs were soaked with sweat AND he was burning up...or felt that way anyways. His temp was 39.5 again :( I felt so bad and was so worried about him.

So, I called my mom before she had to go to work, after getting back from dropping chris at work (he had to work for 7am which isn't bad for the start of hell 2 weeks). Anyways, I asked about taking him to the drs (b/c I hate wasting people's time and there not being anything wrong kinda deal, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to look like a first time mom idiot person by calling the drs at the sign of a fever). Anyways, mom said that it was a good idea to get him checked out. If it's nothing they can do, and it is teething, then I have the peace of mind. But if its something else then at least I am being proactive about it. So, we'll see.

Cheryl called and asked about going out for breakfast today. I told her I couldn't pay this week, but she said she'd take care of it if I wanted to go...I told her about Paul, and I am still debating it. I will probably go...seeing that her work is on the way to Pauls drs office, and Paul likes being out...I am just not sure if he's up to it...I mean, he's in good spirits which is a good thing. I just dunno.

Other than that, I have no news.

date night turned tired

  • Apr. 27th, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi.

Well, Chris and I had a nice date night...till we got home of course. We went out for dinner to our fav restaurant and it was packed when we got there and we were the last ones to leave. It was amusing. Then we filled up the gas tank and got the vehicle washed. Then we went to Port and tried not to get our vehicle hit by crazy drunken cars. Fun stuff. We were gone about 3 hours almost.

Anyways, on the way home, Chris was telling me he had a feeling that something was wrong with Paul. But when we got home, he was asleep and all was fine. So Chris and I hung out down stairs for a half hour for me and an hour for Chris. When he came upstairs, we could hear Paul fussing, so he went in to change his diaper. HE came out carrying our baby a few minutes later saying he had to change Pauls bedding b/c Paul's sheets were soaked with sweat. So Paul and I hung out and I realized he was VERY warm. So, we took his temp. He had a fever. SO we gave him tylanol and tried to put him back to bed. A half hour later Paul was up again. I got him up and he felt like he was burning up. I've never felt him so hot before in my life! So I stripped him down, and we went into the bathtub to try to cool him down. The water was lukey warm so he screamed, which woke Chris up, so Chris went and called my mom and gave him his soother and that seemed to calm him.

After we got out, we gave him a massage, repj'd him and gave him a bottle (which we NEVER do in the middle of the night, but he did drink it). We put him back to bed. 10 minutes later, he screamed again, so we realized teddy was out of batteries, so we changed that, put him back to bed. Then I told Chris to go back to sleep, that I would deal with paul tonight and he could deal with him in the morning. I was up with Paul till 3am. In and out of his room, comforting him, cuddling with him, singing to him etc. Anything to get him to settle. FINALLY just before 3am, he finally settled.

He got up at 8:30am and Chris got up with him for an hour before I got up. (I would have slept SOOO much longer but I know if I did, it would have screwed me up for tonights sleep, so I got my sorry ass out of bed). Paul's fever has broken at this point. We are still giving him tylanol every 4 hours for 24 hours and see how that goes. He's still coughing and sneezing a lot, but I am hoping it's just teething.

Today, we aren't sure what we are going to do. We are going to move the BBQ out of the vehicle that we got from Chris' co worker. IT's black and awsome looking. :) I'm not sure what chris' plans are for the old one we have, but whatever. Then I think we might just hang around the house. We'll see.

Anyways, that's the news of this tired mama :)

Swim class part 2

  • Apr. 26th, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi!

I got to go to Paul's second swim class! I had a great time. I took like 4 videos and several pictures, but most of the pics turned out pretty dark. It was fun to see Paul move around in the water and whatnot. I met two other moms there who had the dad's doing the swimming. That was fun. Paul seemed to have an okay time, except for when Chris dunked Paul under the water...Paul was Not very happy about that at all!

We got home around 10am, and Paul went down for his morning nap about a half hour later. Chris is out running his erronds that he wanted to do. I got all the pics uploaded onto facebook and two videos as well.

I am not sure what we are up to this afternoon, but I am really enjoying having the time off. IT was so great when Paul woke us up at 7:15am, and I was like "I am at home!" (normally, when I work weekends I am up at 6am). So it was very nice not to have to wake up to the alarm or anything like that.

I typed up my Paul routines and lists etc for Lisa and mom to refer too. I emailed them each a copy and I have a hard copy here for Lisa to refer too. It is like 3 pages long and lengthy. Can u tell I am a new mom??? haha. My sister is going to think I lost my friggin mind or something. But I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. And this way, she will have a basics of how we do things to help paul.

Chris' mom called and she wants me to bring Paul over there on my way to my mom's house on wednesday. At first I was super pissed about it. (for obvious reasons), but I have since got thinking about it, and no one said I had to be there. SO...I think what I might do, is run Paul over there for an hour or so, while I run back to Lisa's to unload all Pauls stuff and get his bed set up and everything like that THEN go and pick him up so that way, it may be an easier transition for him. We'll see. Then everyone will be happy. God forbid anyone wasn't.

We aren't going to a movie any more. Chris doesn't think we will have enough time b/c our sitter doesn't get here till 7pm, and we want to go to dinner first and they want to be gone by 11. So. Not enough time. That's alright, at least we will get to spend some time together before Monday. You see, for those who don't know, Mother's day is the busiest time for my husband's work for the entire year. The busy time starts on Monday and goes for almost 2 weeks. So, he will be working 16-19 hours a day. Insane. As a result, we want to spend a bit of quality time together before hand.

Anyways, that's my news for now. Leave a note.

After work today, I am OFF for 5 days! I am really looking forward to it. I really enjoy being home with my baby. He's just so adorable. Yesterday, the entire morning from the second he woke up till I went to work, he smelled just like my cabbage patch doll for some reason! It was insanely weird.

This morning I got a call from the number: 0-000-000-0000. Yep. weird.

Paul might be getting sick. He's coughing and sneezing a lot more than normal. I am praying it's just teething. Poor little guy.

I have not much to say today. I am looking forward to tomorrow when Paul and Chris go swimming and I go along for the pictures. Then in the evening, we are going out for dinner and a movie. I'm excited about that!

Anyways, that's all my news. Leave a note.

Another Day, Another Dollar

  • Apr. 24th, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi

I have to go to work today, in a few hours actually. I'm not looking forward to it. I am going to talk to my supervisor and suggest that he move me to B's position when she leaves, bc its at the house I want, the hours that I want and the shifts I want. I think I would be a great addition there. So, I am going to suggest it to him..and see what he says. (He wants to move either DE or T to the house, but neither of them want to go, and it would involve, if they did go, changing the ENTIRE house schedual. If he lets me go there, he doesn't have to change a thing, except find someone to fill my position there, but he'd have to hire eventually anyways).

This morning, when we were eating breakfast, Chris was wearing the t-shirt Paul and I got for him for his birthday with a "baby paul" on the front. It was so funny b/c you could literally "see" Paul "seeing" the baby on the tshirt for the very first time. IT was SOOO cute. He perked up and lunged for Chris' shirt and was fingering the baby on the t shirt and smiling and talking to the baby on the shirt. TOOO cute.

Chris needs the vehicle tonight to do a client consult, so Paul and I are going to pick Chris up at work for 11:30 so he can take me to work. Fun times.

Gas prices here reached 1.20/L yesterday. I'm so mad. I hate this...its so damn expensive now. Rediculous. Next Wed I am going to get the oil changed in the truck before we leave for moms. Chris and I discussed it and it is more worth our while (mine actually) to leave after the oil change in the AM and drive to mom's instead of coming back here for Pauls nap then going. BC otherwise, I would not be getting to mom's till like 3pm and leaving within a few hours. This way, I will actually get to spend some time with Lisa and mom. SO that is what we are going to do :)

Anyways, I am off to the races.

Leave a note. haha.

My Husband amuses me

  • Apr. 23rd, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
Hi.

Chris amuses me. He woke me up out of a really awsome dream, I might add, to hand me my father's pellet rifle gun thingy that is like over 50 years old AND unloaded. Told me to be quite and follow him. This is at 5:45am, I might add. So I do, to about as far as the top of the stairs. Paul was awake and there was no way, on God's green earth that I was leaving the same floor as he was occupying. I would protect my babes. Anyways, I've never seen Chris go down the stairs so quite. (I also for amusement sake, have to mention that I am half asleep, holding this gun that's unloaded and chris has a knife and we are both naked! If there had been anyone in the house they'd have run for the hills!!!). He searched the entire house before realizing that the sound he'd heard that he thought was coming from the bottom of our stairs was actually coming from outside the house.

So, he came back upstairs, took the unloaded gun, put it all away and went to change paul's diaper. We put him back to bed, but neither of us got back to sleep, even though we tried. :( So, I just got up and had a shower and got paul ready for the day.

That was my amusement for the day. Today, though, in about an hour or so, I am getting Paul up, we are going to pick Cheryl up and going out for breakfast, then we are heading to Walmart to get our supplies for Paul for the month plus picking up some heating pad things that attach to your body for Chris and getting some diced tomatos for supper tonight.

Then, depending on the time, and how Paul is, we might go and visit with my work ppl. We'll see. I don't care if we don't...it really depends on how things are going. Then after Chris gets done work, he is going to a clients house to do garden work once again.

That is the general plan for the day :)

Thinking, Wailing, Brushing of teeth....

  • Apr. 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Paul at my baby shower, paul with tongue out, smiling 4 month old Paul, bath
So....

as you all know, our van died and is in vehicle heaven. And you know that for the past several months we have been driving Dan's beast of a gas guzzler of a truck around. (which we are very grateful for, it's just the price of gas....).

Anyways, I wanted like another minivan or something that was still up high that had lots of room to store our entire household for when we go anywhere. However, I guess Jonathan found this Chev CAR 2003 that he wants us to consider. I don't really care personally....I just want it to be a 4 door if it's a car, and I need the trunk then to have tonnes of space for our house. Chris needs it to be strong enough to tow his trailer on. I dunno. I'm THINKING....

We can't drive Dan's truck around much longer..its' costing us 150.00/tank to fill and that's insane. Like that's practiclly like once every week and a half IF we're lucky...so in that aspect, we can't be too super picky. I just don't want it to break down.

Meh...whatever.

On other non related car news, I packed up all paul's 18 month clothes today. *snif* I hate when he grows out of things. haha. So, tomorrow, I am having breaky with Cheryl and I think after that I am going to see if she wants to go shopping with me, as Paul's $$$ came in. I have to get the usual diapers and food, but this month I also need onsies and a sweater or two. I put all the stuff we have for 24 months out and we have some stuff...but not enough to sustain his peeing outside his diaper thing he does and his spit ups. haha.

Chris got home JUST in time to see Paul get ready to go to bed. IT was SOOO funny. Chris walked in and Paul was all smiles and was SO excited to see chris he practically flew. Then a bit later when he had to give Paul back to me, Paul looked Right at Chris and said, "DADADA" How cute!!!!

On similar cute news, twice today, when Paul was sitting on the floor and I walked by, he grabbed my pant legs and held on. It was adorable!!!

Anyways, enough gushing. leave a note.

Another Beautiful Day

HIIIIIII

I'm in another wonderful mood today once again! I love the sunshine.

Yesterday Paul and I had a wonderful day. We went for an hour long stroller ride and we went to the park. He had a great time. We played and just generally had a good time. His milk vs formula thing is going well. We have decreased his formula down 100mls, so we are obviously filling the last 100mls with milk. Warming it up helps.

Today, Chris will be working late again. So, Paul and I will venture to the grocery store via stroller ride to get some milk and something for dinner tonight. Other than that, we probably will just do the usual chilling.

Next Wednesday I am hoping its a nice day. Paul and I are going to my mom's. I am dropping Paul off from then till Sat or Sun when they bring Paul home. It's so nice of Lisa and mom to bail us out when we were sitter less. At least it is only one week that Chris has to work the full week which conflicts with my work schedual, so it's not bad, but I am going to miss my babes. It will be the longest he's ever been away from me. But it will be fun too. I will get a bit of a break AND Paul gets to spend some quality 1-1 time with his aunt and Grandma.

On other news, I get my stupid period tomorrow :( ack. But then I only have TWO more cycles to go before we start TTC!!! hehe. I figure it will take us awhile to actually concieve, so we will have fun trying!

Anyways, I have to run...Mr Babes, aka Paul, is going to be up soon and mama needs some lunch!

Spooky Signs

HI.

I think this is awsome. SO pretend I am telling u this in person in a super excited voice....

Friday morning, I had put Paul down for his nap and all that stuff and I went into the kitchen. There on the stove was a hair clip that is so super small, the size only used for babies or very super young toddler girls. I thought it weird, but I threw it out.

Later when chris got home, I told him what I'd found on the stove and he told me that he'd put it there. I said, "well where'd u find it" and he said that it was the weirdest thing. He had gone downstairs like he does every morning to feed the cats, and he decided to go into the rec room, which he never does afterwards and on the brand new puzzle piece mat that we JUST PUT UP THE DAY BEFORE was this baby girls hair clip just sitting there in the middle of the mat. He said he'd thought the cats had found it and were playing with it. So, I thought for a second and said that we'd never seen any childrens things in the house before we moved in or even up till that day. Plus, the people who owned the house before us, didn't live in here, but had rented out the rooms to students. (none of whom would be able to wear such a hair clip).

So I was like, thinking, that maybe its some kinda sign from the heavens telling us that we are going to have a baby girl...and soon. haha. Chris said that if that was the case to "come on down" haha

It amused me. I told everyone...no one is all that excited about it, but I definately am. haha.
