hi.

chris went to the walk in clinic today for his ankle. turns out he sprained it really badly. he is on crutches, and has to take a week off of work. he is so amusing to watch crawl up the stairs adn slide down on his bum, though :P

Jonathan stayed here till I got home today, so chris wasnt' alone with dealing with paul today. he has a drs note for his work and is going for a confirmation xray tomorrow. fun times.

Hi.

First, Thanks to my mom for getting me those birthday tickets :0) u rock the socks!

Second:

Chris fell when he was leaving our neighbours, missed the step, fell and twisted his ankle to the point it's pretty swelled. He did it this morning and still can't bare any weight on it. He is hobbling around. Luckily, Jonathan came down today, origionally for the day, but being that Chris is hurt, he has agreed to stay at least till I am done work tomorrow to help with him Paul. :)

third:

Paul is teething bad. I feel for the little guy. I can't wait till all his baby teeth are finally IN. So far, he has 6 teeth.

Okay...I am tired....going to check my FL and off to bed!

Hi!

Yep. It's true. Chris and I are going out on a date to celebrate our anniversery! I'm very excited. Most especially b/c our sitter yesterday called back and cancelled on us. I was sure we were stuck, and would either not go at all, or have to take Paul with us, and quite honestly, it wouldn't have been as much fun. Luckily, Cheryl is off tonight and has agreed to watch Paul for us while we go out for dinner :) I'm very excited!

So, on Chris' birthday thing, I have looked up under ticketmaster, and Terri Clark is playing at Casino Rama in October, so I think those are the tickets I am going to purchase with my mommy's help. But I have to get the weekend off first...which might be a challenge. or at least leave early on the saturday and take sunday off completely. dunno. Then if I do it, I have to find a sitter for Paul too, but I will worry about that once I find out if I can even take the time off work.

I really wanted him to see the Reba McIntyre tour b/c he loves her SOOO much, but she's playing in Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon. piff.

Anyways, I should run...just wanted to say hi!

Hi!

Happy Anniversery to ME! lol

Yes, today is Chris and my anniversery of being together in a relationship. It's been 11 years. that's a pretty long time by todays standards. I'm thrilled to even write it...11. ELEVEN. yep. Long time. And I love it :) Plus, 11 IS my favourite number, which rocks the socks.

So, how to celebrate....yeah...we won't be celebrating today. We are hoping to get our sitter for tomorrow to come over so we can go out...but who knows? I'm waiting for her to call back. Tomorrow Chris gets paid so that is why we are waiting till then.

I'm still thrilled, regardless. It's a big deal. Who knew that day when my sister stepped in and basically forced Chris to ask me to "go out" with him. lol. (she loved Chris, but he is one who takes his sweet ass time on everything, so she was giving up on him and wanted me to then go out with Paul (chris' friend) She told Paul he should ask me out then, and Chris told him to back off that I was "his" and Lisa just spoke up and said that I'm not with anyone and I can go out with whomever I want too and Chris just took me in his arms and asked me out right then and there). Lisa credits our entire relationship on her "setting us up" lol She was 10 almost 11 at the time. It must've worked b/c we are still together all those years later. Don't know if I ever actually thanked Lisa for doing that...so Lisa, if you are reading this,
"THANKS. You did a great job! I love you."

Leave a note.

Hi!

First, I want to tell you all that my mom and sister went to a psychic yesterday for a reading. It sounded like it was pretty positive all around. I know my mom got a real kick out of it. lol She asked about my job for me (because I asked her too, and she's super nice to me and remembered). Anyways, the answer was that she sees me changing jobs in either 4 weeks or 4 months. It will be what I want but we will have to relocate to get it. haha. (we just bought a house...don't think we're moving any time soon. lol). Mom also asked about grandchildren...and she said that I was not the specified one to have the next grandchild for my mommy, but another grandchild will be ariving, regardless, in the next 18 months. I am still *fingers crossed* it will be me...sorry, about Brad and Karsha..lol but they aren't trying and don't seem in a real hurry to add to the grandchild business...hehe. (I do love my brother and SIL, but I'm selfish..lol). OH, and she said Lisa would for sure be going to Australia for her law school. (I know Lisa's happy about it, but I don't want her to go b/c I would miss her way too much. *snif*, but I will of course, support my little sister in all her decisions). Mom is going to take a trip soon somewhere, and she is going to meet a 'new' guy who is really shy. *fingers crossed* for mom!!!

That was really fun. I wish I could have gone. There is a psychic fair this weekend in St. catharines, but I can't go b/c it's my long week to work...I work till 5pm both days, and I don't have the money at present.

Now, onto other news....my husband, who we all know and love, is turning the big 3-0 in September. hehe. (he is so upset about it though, you guys, and it really bugs him, so I can't even 'say' it out loud to him, I do anyways when he pisses me off, but you know what I mean). Anyways, I am inviting Chris' friends all out the Saturday night before Chris' birthday, to celebrate. We are just going to have dinner. Couples only. No kids. I think we are going to go to Montanas or something like that. Not sure the details yet. Chris knows about that part.

BUT, because he is turning the big 3-0, I want to do something even more special. I want to take him to see a concert of some kind (I haven't actually looked into the details yet, I am just forming my ideas here), and a night in a relatively cheap hotel room for the night. Just to get away, just the two of us. I am looking into sometime either late August, or the whole month of September, being that his birthday is the 10th of September. I think Chris will really like it, but I want that to be a surprise, right down to getting a sitter for Paul. Chances are I am going to have to ask family, or Cheryl, to watch Paul for the night, b/c I doubt I will be able to afford all that plus the cost of a sitter...who knows. we'll see when I pick a date. haha. I'm so excited though :)

On less exciting news, I have to work today. ack. Katherine is watching Paul for Chris this afternoon so he can cut his client's grass, being that our sitter is out of town. That should be interesting. I only have to work till 8pm tonight though as I am taking two hours of stat time. Very exciting.

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

Hi.

I had the worlds WORST sleep last night. First of all, chris thought it necessary to work on his computer crap in our room WHILE I was trying to sleep, which didn't work. I tried, but was still awake when he went to bed around midnight. I was so friggin hot, even with with AC on, that I just tossed and turned all night I felt. When I woke up, my back was killing me and my leg was killing me and my hand was asleep...so I had that whole pins and needles thing to wake up too. Fun times.

Anyways, so as a result, I was in a mood this morning, and of course, true to my nature, took it out on Chris having not done the dishes last night, and therefore have the kitchen sink STACKED with dishes. I reminded him last night, nicely, that it was his turn to do the dishes b/c I'd made dinner, and he ACTUALLY said, "well you know I hate doing the dishes..." and I said, "and what? you think I like them or something?" friggin idiototic thing to say! piff. So, this morning, I flipped out.

Then Chris called me from work to tell me that his co worker, to which he works very closely with all the time, Sue, was in a pissy mood too, so I guess he's getting it at both ends today. He must have wondered why he even bothered to get up this morning. lol

I'm in better spirits now, of course, so I do feel bad for the guy. haha. Oh well. Anyways, I have nothing really planned for the day. I have the car again, which is super nice. I am not sure where I am going to go this afternoon. Maybe to happy Ralphs or something? I dunno. I want to do something fun with the little guy this afternoon. We'll have to see.

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

Hi!

I had such a wonderful day yesterday. I am so sad that it's over. :( I'm sad that I have to go another whole month before I get a weekend off again. Plus, that weekend I have off again, I actually will have to work the monday b/c I couldn't get it off in vacation time, which sucks b/c we are going home for the annual hayride/cornroast at Dan's house. piff.

Anyways, back to yesterday....Chris, Paul and I went out for breakfast together. It was nice b/c Chris and I havne't gone out for breakfast together for a long time with mem working all those weekends and things. Paul was of course, well behaved and got lots of attention from everyone. He ate hashbrowns and toast with jam, which he got all over his arm. fun times. Then we didn't want to go home just yet, so we went to Toys R Us and checked out all the things we'd love to get for Paul someday. We didnt' buy anything, but it was fun looking just the same. :) Then we went to the mall for salsa (zehrs is in the mall and we needed salsa for our dinner, and forgot to buy it when we got groceries last week).

We came home around 11:30am or so, and gave Paul some lunch and he went down for a nap. I spent the time reading and looking around online. Chris played on his laptop for most of the day, actually. Paul got up around 3:30pm and we played and had fun. Then around 5-6, he was super fussy and gave me a headache, so Chris took Paul for a half hour bike ride, which did the trick. Paul came home in great spirits. Chris made homemade tacos for supper which were super yummy :) Paul was in bed just after 7pm.

It was just so nice to co-parent. Instead of feeling like we are single parents who just happen to be married, which is how I feel most of the time, and Chris feels the same as well. We really do treasure those days when we both get to be home together ALL day with Paul. It's just so much fun. I really miss my old positions when I would have every other weekend off. I really REALLY miss that! *sigh* I really do.

Later this morning, Paul and I are going out with Cheryl. It should be fun. I haven't seen her in a few weeks, which is actually not normal. I wasn't sure if she would even be home today or not, b/c I don't know her schedual b/c it changes weekly, but I asked for the car on the incase, and sure enough, cheryl called just before I put Paul down for his nap. Very exciting. I am really hoping to get hashbrowns and cheese for dinner tonight or tomorrow night...whichever. I still want to get it today.

This afternoon, we have no plans. I might take Paul to the beach or to the park or something depending on the weather. IT's suppose to be nice today...but by Friday, it's suppose to be 42 with the humidex!!!!!!!! *gross* I am really NOT looking forward to that. uurgh. Thank god I am working!

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

Hi!

I am writing to you from Chris' laptop! I hate it already! this stupid thing keeps jumping while I write. I will write something and next thing i know the text is typing over something I already wrote his is so annoying. bah. I don't think i will be writing much from this laptop. uurgh.

Not up to much today, which I love. Chris is out doing his clients today. We are going to the neighbours later for dinner of lobster (for the guys) and hamburgers for the girls. YUM! I am looking forward to that. Tomorrow, we might even go to DQ for a blizzard, maybe. Depends on how it goes after I pay our taxes.

Paul is doing great. he has about 6 teeth now, but his 5th and 6th are just popping, so u can't seem them as well as u can the other teeth. he's such a good little boy. I love him to pieces.

Anyways, this laptop is annoying. ttyl

Hello world.

My husband, Chris, is S.P.O.I.L.E.D. SPOILED! with a capitol "S". His dad actually, now get this people, actually, bought Chris a brand new top of the line, LAPTOP! and we don't owe him hardly anything for it compared to the price it cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can u believe it? He is SOOOO spoiled! piff.

We didn't even own a laptop before yesterday. Nope. Not a one. Fer frigs sakes. (can u see I am sooo jelous here?). lol

I guess when Chris and Paul went home the last time to Doug's Chris was telling him all about this computer program he has that is awsome for his landscape business and all it can do etc but our harddrive that we have now is too old and can't handle the program. He (chris) mentioned how cool it would be to get a laptop b/c then he could literally bring the laptop to the clients homes that he is installing a design for and show them. I guess he'd asked Doug to keep his eye out on a cheap SECOND HAND laptop b/c Chris wants to get one someday. What does Doug do? He goes out and buys Chris a BRAND NEW one instead!!!!!!!!! piff.

All because he believes in Chris and his abilities. (which I do too, I might add, I am his biggest fan and always have been). but piff. What I want is to be there when Chris tells his mom that his dad bought him a new laptop. I want to see her face! She's going to die. lol She'll be SOOOO mad. Chris says he isn't going to tell her, I am still trying to convince him. I wanna see her face. lol (yes, I can be this way sometimes). lol

What's funny is that chris thought that Doug had bought him a new harddrive for our current computer b/c he's been bugging doug for months to buy him one, and he had just said yesterday morning that he can talk his dad into anything...well obviously, but he wasn't prepared for him to have bought a laptop which is much more expensive than a harddrive would have been. lol. Chris argued with Doug to take it back for awhile but he wouldn't budge. It was sweet, but he (chris) is very overwhelmed by the gift. His dad has never bought him something so expensive before just because he believes in him. So I know it means a lot to Chris.

I just can't belive it. Chris said he had something to show me when we put Paul down for the night downstairs. I sat down and he sat beside me and put this black briefcase thing on the table, which I even said "oh, you got a new briefcase". lol and ya...well, it wasn't quite a briefcase. I almost peed my pants when I saw what it was. lol

Anyways, that's my news on my SPOILED husband.

Hi!

Well, I am single tonight..haha. My hubby and my babes went up to their golf tournament this weekend, and they are staying at my mom's house for the night tonight. Aren't they lucky? hehe :P

I had to work today till 5 which sucked...most especially because, no word of a lie, my one client, F, had massive diarrhea and was literally shitting for a half hour! (no lie...I took him to the bathroom b/c he was going to just do it on his bed...*shakes fist* and he just went and went. I sat him down at 8:10am and he didn't stop till 8:42!). *ouch* Then I had to clean him and the entire bathroom up afterwards. (well, it's not like he would just sit on the toilet the whole time ya know...had to get up. fer frigs sakes). AFter that though, it wasn't a bad day...but ick.

When I got home, I checked messages, called a few ppl I had to phone, had supper and watched Dharma and Greg for a bit. Now I am on here for awhile. Later tonight I am going to shave and have a bath, read my magazine and even...*gulp* watch TV LOUDLY in our room before I go to bed! yep. That's the plan. AND I am going to sleep diagonially and take up the ENTIRE bed. yep. That's waht I am going to do!

Tomorrow, I have the day off b/c my uncle died of a heart attack Thurs night, so I am going to my mom's tomorrow and am going to the visitation in the afternoon. Plus, I have to pick Paul and Chris up anyways, so that's the plan for tomorrow. I took a brevement day, so I don't have to work. Fun times. So far, this is 2 family deaths, one on either side of the family in less than a year.

Aside from that, I have no news. Leave a note.

Hi!

Paul and I went to his swimming class today! It's the first time I got to take him. The water was FREEZING! I loved it, but poor Paul was just all chilly..his little mouth was a chatterin'. He cried for the first half, and the second half, he did alright. We practiced our front and back floats, gliding from the side, jumping in the water, kicking our feet and bobbing. It was a good time.

Kat, our neighbour was awsome enough to loan us her car to go swimming today. She was going to drive us, but her diswasher is being delivered today, so she had to stay on the incase that it came. (she's so lucky!). Chris and Jamie went to TO to get some granet counter top stuff. I have no idea when he will return as the place is on Younge street apparently right in the heart of down town...so he took my card to get some lunch.

Paul is napping now, which is awsome. He was really tired. He cried all the way to the pool b/c he was not in his own car seat, he was in the neighbours car seat, which is different. (It's nice though when u have ppl that already have a seat suitable for ur kid...it's awsome!).

When Chris gets home later, I need to take the vehicle out and get Chris a fathers day card and gift. I have no idea what I am going to give him, but I think maybe I will take my camera and find a good picture of Paul, or Paul and Chris and get it framed. I dunno.

Anyways, that's my news for now.

Leave a note :0)

Hi!

Well, today it's just me and my babes at home!! Chris is at work obviously, and Jonathan is working at Chris' boss' home laying 10 yards (holy crap!) of mulch on his gardens. It should take him days to do that. So, we are just chilling out here today. It will be nice.

Yesterday, I had my counselling appointment. We basically went over a lot of little things to find out what my "issues" were and we'll get more in depth with it later on. I liked the lady I saw. She seemed nice, and I know she has children, b/c that was a request before I saw anyone that if they were not a mom, I didn't want to talk to them...lol

Anyways, we did discuss a bit about what I do at work, how long I've been there, my hours that I do work etc. We also talked about how being a mom has changed my life and about some of the things I enjoyed doing prebaby. She said that it appears to her that I am suffering from a bad case of burn out! When I told her my hours at work, she just stopped writing them down half way thru b/c of all the different times I work. She asked me if I was looking into another job, bc not including what I do, but the hours are so over the place that my body has a hard time decifering when it's time to work and when it's time to be at home. She sugggested that a job with fixed same hours would be probably more beneficial for me b/c then I could regulate my work time and I may be able to find more time to unwind and relax.

It was a good session. I haven't booked another one yet, only b/c our scheduals are conflicting right now, so I have to figure out when a good time is to see her again and what not. In the mean time, I have a "homework" assignment. I have to write down 10 things that I enjoy doing just for me.

As for today, I have no plans. I think Paul and I will just hang out, play and watch the boob tube! haha.

Hi!

We are back from our weekend away in Kingston to see Brad and Karsha! We had a wonderful time! I really didn't want to come home...lol. As a whole, it was so much fun. Their home is georgous. I can't believe how nice it was. It was so tastefully decorated and I really loved the candles in the archway and I loved the upstairs bathroom onsuite from the master bedroom and the his and her sinks. Our new van is amazing and ran awsome the whole way there and back. Paul was so wonderful the entire time. He didn't really fuss. He didn't sleep near as long as he does at home, but he was so excited, who could sleep? He slept the whole night every night, and went to bed easily. He was warming up to Karsha by the end. He loved being a ham. We all went out to a greek resturant for dinner Sat night, and Paul was so good, that we even had a few people who were dining there come over and tell us how wonderful he was and asked if he was always that good? (even though he was 2 hours past his usual bedtime!!). When we went to Karsha's parents house on Sunday, he even sat on a real chair in between Chris and I at dinner and he didn't fall off, fuss or anything. He was a perfect angel!

Now for the details:

Mom got to our house by 7:40am. We packed up the van and we were leaving officially by 8:30am (b/c we had to turn around to get Paul's soother). lol. We only made one stop on the other side of Toronto on the way there and made it to Brad's house shortly after 1pm. We got the grand tour and their house is amazing. We gave Paul a bottle, and set up his room where he would be staying which is their "guitar room". Then Paul went down for a nap. Brad, and Chris worked on Brads garden outside while mom, Karsha and I supervised. When we left for dinner around 6:30pm. We had a really nice dinner and it was so nice to be with our family.

When we got back, we put Paul down for bed, and we watched the baseball game brad had taped and everyone but me had a few drinks. We went to bed around midnight or so.

Sunday morning, Chris got up with Paul, and I got up shortly afterwards, to find them outside on the deck having a bottle. It was adorable, so I got dressed and gave Paul his cereal and put him down for his nap by 9am. Shortly afterwards, Brad, Mom and Karsha got up and we had bacon eggs and toast for breakfast. Brad even bought bacon! (they are vegetarian...so this amused us). After breakfast, we hung out and that was fun. In the afternoon, we went on the 1000 island cruise. IT was a 2 hour event. You saw a lot of very neat things. It would have been better for me, if I was sea sick..lol. I didn't really move, and had to stay inside, but Paul loved it and so did everyone there. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. When we got back, we put Paul down for a late nap. Brad and Chris went to home hardware, while Karsha straightened my hair and mom supervised. They got back just as Paul woke up from his nap, and we went to Karsha's parents house for dinner. We had a BBQ, which was so nice. Karsha's parents are very cool, I can see why they like going there so much :P

When we got back to the house, Paul went to bed, and I decided to try tequilla. I've NEVER had this before ever...or even done a shot ever. IT was quite amusing. Chris took a video of me doing my first shot. He laughed himself silly over it. Karsha had to tell me how to do it, b/c she's a pro at it. I guess her and Tequilla get along just fine. lol. SO, I had 2 regular shots and one double. I was pretty funny after that. Then Brad made strawberry daquires for everyone and I took my pill with that...lol I thought it quite amusing to do. lol Then, they made us nachos and cheese. YUM! Then Mom went to bed. Chris, Karsha and I played cards till 1:30am!!!!

Monday, we got up, had a nice breakfast and packed up all our stuff. We were on the road by 11:45am and we got home by 5pm. Traffic was alright surprisingly, and I had to stop like 3 times to pee. lol. Mom made it home by 7pm. It was a really good weekend. I was so proud of Paul for handling the really long car ride and seeing new people and being in a different bed and the whole bit. He's my baby!

Hi!!!

Paul and I got our haircut last night!!! We both look fabulous! Just to show how we look:

( Read more... )

Anyways, it was a very nice visit. We got to the hairdressers by 6:30pm and it was 9pm when we left. Paul did fabulous. He only cried when we first got him in the chair and things, and then he settled down and did a wonderful job! We were so proud of him!!! Now he looks so handsome for his visit to Uncle Brad and Aunt Karsha's house this weekend!!!!

Today, I got approved to use an hour of stat time to take Paul to the specialist appointment, so I am going along. I'm looking forward to it. Chris and I are both going. I'm sure the dr will tell us everything is fine, but I always am up for a second opinion especially when it comes to my babes and his health. Jamie, our babysitter will be here around 3pm to look after Paul while Chris goes out and cuts grass. I'm doing our laundry today and I will do Paul's tomorrow so he has an optimum amt of clothes to go away this weekend with.

Tomorrow, Chris is dropping me off at work and he and Paul are going up to get our new vehicle!!! I'm very excited. Most especially by the amount of gas we will save compaired to this vehicle we have been driving all winter. He wont' be back in the area till 10 when he can pick me up. So I have to make sure that we are basically all packed and ready to go before 1pm tomorrow when Chris will get home.

Mom is coming up Sat morning early and we are going to be leaving by like 8am...so very exciting. I am a little bit worried as to how well Paul will do in the vehicle for several hours. His longest car ride was like 3 hours, so I am not really sure how he will do...but I *hope* he does well. *crosses fingers* Plus, his nose will be out of joint being back in the backseat again. haha. (we have a truck with no backseat, so he's been in the front this whole winter).

Anyways, I am going to run. I'm hungry....as always. Have a great day!

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!!!!

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 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.

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 :)
