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!!!!

My hubby's step father bought us the vehicle and we are paying him back b/c I have to have a vehicle for work and we are currently borrowing his truck.
About 4 years or so ago, he bought us our very first vehicle, a 1995 Ford Windstar GL, and we paid him back for it, and he has been really awsome in doing it again for us b/c we just bought a house, so no one would approve a loan for us at this time.
So we're excited!
We bought our house and were waiting for it to officially close but everything was basically done. THEN the headgasket went on our van :(
Dan and Chris decided that it wasn't worth fixing due to all the other things that had gone wrong with it, we were putting more money into it than it was worth.
So, Dan loaned us his big red truck to use until we found something. Now, my MIL is completely AGAINST Dan having loaned us his vehicle in the first place. Now she's fuming beyond all belief b/c Dan has bought us another van. He got it for 3000.00, which is the same amt as he bought our other van for, so it's all good and we can continue to pay him back, the same as we have been doing for the other vehicle.
We considered checking out leasing a vehicle or just buying one ourselves, but we would need a loan obviously for it, and b/c we'd just bought a house, no one would give us one, Chris doesn't believe...so Dan came to the rescue once again. I love that man...he'd better be immortal :P
So, on the Friday of May 24 weekend, Chris and Paul are going up to Harriston to exchange vehicles and then they are going to Listowel with mom to sign over to be on mom's rental car so he can help drive. (Mom, Chris, Paul and I are going to Kingston to visit my brother and Karsha and see their new house that they bought Dec 1st). We're paying for the gas and mom's paying for the rental. So it works out...plus, I am hoping Brad will go half's with us to take mom out for a late mothers day dinner somewhere.
So in answer to your question, we are getting it in two weeks ish. I haven't seen it myself yet. All I know is the make and year and that it has doors that open on both sides of the van!
