Hi. :)

yes, I am still in a crappy mood and feel crappy, but I will not bore u with details..lol

Guess what paul ate today for the first time? ritz crackers!!!! We met Chris for last break this afternoon, and Paul took the cracker from chris' hand and ate it. we watched him closely and he fed himself and I think had like 4 crackers...ish. (he spilled a lot of them). hehe. It was cute.

I'm really glad I am at home today. I love being at home. If I could find a job where I got to work at home around Paul and make a decent living, I would. :) any one have any bright ideas?

I haven't done much today....actually got to talk to Lisa today for a little bit, which was really nice....even though Paul was not very co operative and let me actually talk much, but still. I did two loads of laundry, and what not. Tomorrow we have the lady from the children's center coming to do the initial background paper work and home assessment. Fun times. lol

Anyways that is all the news. Leave a note.

HI

Okay, so Paul is starting to act out, and do things that aren't appropriate. I'm struggling with knowing how much I can disipline him so that he understands and not going overboard.

He's into throwing temper tantrums at random times. I, for the most part, try to ignore the tantrum. I try redirection sometimes as well. Last night, while he was eating his dinner, he decided he didn't want to eat what I had given him. He threw a all out temper tantrum. It scared me a bit b/c he had food in his mouth. Anyways, I stopped feeding him (obviously). I even turned his highchair around to face away from me so that he couldn't see me in hopes he would calm down. He did after a few minutes. I tried to feed him something different on his plate but he freaked out immediately. So, I took him out of his chair, placed him in the livingroom with his toys and walked away from him for a few minutes. He screamed and cried and carried on for a few minutes but did calm down. I tried a few different times to feed him his dinner but he refuesed with a tantrum every time, so he went without his dinner. (sorry, but I don't want to start this whole "I will make u something different just because u dont' like what I've served u bit"). Plus, I knew he would still get a bottle later on, so I wasn't overly worried.

But then, mommy guilt set in and I was totally questioning my decision. Was I being too mean? Should I have just given him something else? I mean, he is only 14 months old...I tried calling my mom a few times for advice, but she didn't answer the phone...so I just had to do what I thought was best...piff.

Then, while I was feeding Paul, his bottle before bed, he decided to hit my chest a few times. I thought that inappropriate as well, so I told him NO Hit very firmly. He stopped and looked at me, and I kept my eyes level to his so he knew I meant business and he stopped and didn't try to hit again. :)

I'm just not sure how much he understands at this age, and what I should do to disolve these behaviours so he doesn't turn out to be some kinda hellion when he grows up.

That's my mommy news.

Hi

Well, it has been a very interesting few days. Chris has been off all week due to his ankle. It was really nice to have him home, but very weird at the same time. It was so nice though NOT to have to set the alarm clock in the mornings. A very nice treat. :) Chris did get his design done and printed for his client, so it was a successful week. Chris is actually out cutting his clients lawns today. Hopefully his ankle holds out.

On Paul news...PAUL CAN CRAWL! I am so excited. He is crawling quite funny, but it's crawling just the same and I am so proud of him. yesterday, he crawled from the middle of our livingroom floor to the door to go outside the front. I wasn't there to see that, but I heard all about it.

We had a very scary moment on Wed night. Paul was choking. It was not a full on choke, but it was still extramily scary just the same. It all started at dinner. I went to get dinner all together and chris was fussing with something. When he and I sat down to eat, paul was acting funny and I said that I thought he had something in his mouth...so I checked, but I couldn't see anyhting at the time. I went and continued to eat...then he did it again and I picked him up and he vomited all over me, which was fine b/c I hoped whatever was in his mouth was out...I couldn't see anything in the vomit and he seemed fine so i really thought I was being paranoid.

an hour later, I was upstairs getting Paul ready for bed and I was changing his diaper when he made this horrible sound. I used his little light by his mouth and I saw this white paper like thing by his throat in the back....I tried to sweep it to get it out and couldn't. I was screaming for Chris to get his ass up stairs, (and he thought I just wanted the bottle so was pissed I was yelling for him, till he got upstairs). I told him to hold him upside down and told him what to do, and I ran next door (don't ask..no idea why I did that) and got Katherine. I burst into tears and told her that ...was choking on something and she was like who and I said paul...never have I seen a very pregnant lady move so fast..lol She came in and between her adn Chris they were able to induce paul to vomit enough to get the thing out. It was a bandaide paper thing that covers the bandaide that you have to take off to use. I have no idea HOW he got it or how Chris or I didn't see him put it in his mouth. It was extramily scary. All those bad thoughts crossed my mind....what if I hadn't caught it and I put him to bed? I'd have woken up in the monring to a dead baby. If I EVER lost him....


Anyways, he's alright now and I am looking into getting Chris certified for First Aid and CPR. I think we'll do it thru the university. I need to be recertified anyways...so we'll see.

I have to work today at 4pm. Fun times. Hopefully, it will be a nice evening. I hope. Yesterday, I worked 12-10, which was fine...the day actually went by very quickly.

Anyways, that's my news.

Hi!!!!

this afternoon it was raining SO HARD that it was coming down in sheets AND it was hailing AND it was almost black out. It was SO COOL!!!!!!! The best part though is that Chris had to cancel his client today b/c the grass is too wet for him to do his work. *cheers* I'm so excited!!!

Paul is down for his afternoon nap right now. I had a quiet morning which was so nice. Then Lisa called me TWO DAYS IN A ROW! and we chatted for quite a while. I was so happy. :) Paul played and now has a facination with this first step on the stairs. Plus, I even put him on his little couch and he sat there for like 15 minutes. I was so impressed! He's my little man.

Last night we had a nice dinner. We went to some kinda Feather place. I thought it was a nice place that you had to dress up for, but actually it's just a pub. But they have wonderful food and it was quiet and I had a great time anyways! Then we went to Walmart and bought a puzzle. (can u say that 'we are old'? lol). Then we looked around Best Buy for some kinda thing chris needs for his laptop and then we went to DQ for an ice cream for dessert!!! It was so much fun!!! The depressing part? we were home by 9:30!!! piff. Whatever happened to dates when we were out till 1am? *rolls eyes* lol

I had a great time.

Chris and I are discussing putting Paul in day care two days a week. (Mon and Thurs). I'm so conflicted about it b/c between the two of us, one of us is always home and therefore doesn't actually need to go into day care, and then would be taking up a spot for someone who might need it more. Plus Paul is growing up so fast...why not just cherish the time we have with him home before he has to be a big boy and go to school while I stand by the window and cry that he's growing up?

However, the other side of me says, that Paul is an only child at present, and needs to be more socialized with other children. It would be good for his development to be around people his own age and it's only going to cost us like 60.00/week. Plus, then I would get a break two days a week, which is also a positive.

I dunno. Chris is all for it and things we should do it...I'm conflicted. I think there are better ways of spending 60.00 a week when we are home anyways to take care of our babes.

Any advice?

Hi.

So, I was at work yesterday, as previously mentioned in other entries. When just after our staff meeting, the phone rings and the person asks for me. Yep. It was Katherine, our neighbour who was babysitting my babes, Mr. Paul, while Chris was out cutting grass for his clients b/c our regular babysitter is away. Katherine tells me that Paul has been there for an hour and a half and won't STOP screaming. He'd been screaming for the entire time Chris was gone and she was at her wits end, and did not know what to do. I was actually very calm about it when I spoke to her, but I said I'd call her back.

I get off the phone and burst into tears. My baby is crying and I am at work....so I tell DE and A about it, and they both told me to just go home and take care of my baby and come back when Chris gets home. BUT I dont have my car...so A drove me home. how sweet.

I get out of the car at home and I can hear Paul crying. I walk around the corner and there he is, sitting on Katherine's knee, hugging his whinnie toy and wailing. My heart just BROKE. As soon as Paul saw me, he dropped his toy and flung his arms up and down trying to will me to get my ass over there asap. I picked Paul up and he HUGGED me soooooooo tight and didn't move for like 10 minutes. He settled down almost as soon as I picked him up, but had a bad case of the hiccups.

Katherine looked frazzled a bit. So I thanked her for her help, and she apologized for calling me at work, and she went back inside. I felt bad for her being so pregnant and stuff. She said that her child even tried to help get Paul to stop crying and Paul just wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Anyways, so I went inside, fixed Paul a bottle, changed his diaper and put him to bed for a nap. (he was so tired, that chris said he slept for over 2 and a half hours!). I had to take an hour and a half stat time because of it, but I don't even care.

I was just glad that Chris didn't go and do anything else other than cut grass, because I wouldn't have known where he was or anything like that. Luckily he came home, and Katherine met him to tell him that I had him...and he felt terrible that I had to come home from work...haha.

SO, I think I might have a bit of a problem on my hands...Paul is okay with other ppl taking care of him, but only IN our own home. He has never had to go to other people's places to be taken care of before and I think that was the whole issue. Chris wants to put him in daycare twice a week to get him used to being with other people. I dunno. GUILTY is how I feel.

Oh crap!

Everyone...Paul ate a USED teabag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ick.

So, Paul was in the livingroom with me, playing on the floor and I was watching him and watching the Cosby show at the same time. Paul started throwing stuff from teh coffee table onto the floor, which is really no biggy b/c it's mostly just papers and crap, so whaever, right...

well, at one point I saw that he'd taken a used teabag out of a container, that I didn't know was there (the teabag, not the container) and I saw the teabag on the floor...but Paul wasn't paying any attention to it, so I just thought that I'll clean that up later, no biggy.

Next thing I know...I see paul eating some black stuff, that at first looked like chocolate grinds and upon closer inspection, saw it was indeed the teabag...he was EATING it! eeew.

So, I freaked out, took it away from him and hauled him upstairs asap and called my mom at work to ask her what to do. lol I know it wasn't poisionous, b/c it's a teabag, but b/c it was an OLD teabag, who knows if there was something else in there that could've been bad. It was super fun. So, I got Paul all cleaned up and changed his whole outfit and everything like that, so he could be my handsome little guy once again.

That is my story, and I'm stickin to it!

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

Hi!

The bloodwork has been completed! I am thrilled to announce that it is finally done, and I don't have to worry about it anymore :) This lady who did it was a Godsend. She was very quick and didn't mind him screaming. They even got another lady to come in and hold Paul down, so I didn't actually have to do it. I am just glad it's over.

I have to work today and tomorrow, but then I am off for the weekend which is nice. Chris and my 11 years of being together as a couple anniversery is coming up. This weekend would be the perfect time to celebrate it, but our sitter is at a concert this weekend and then is going home all week next week to see her family....so we are sitter-less. It sucks.

Nothing is really going on in my world. I talked to Chris about having more children and he looked at my like I had two heads and said absolutely not. So, as it stands, he isn't happy about the idea to say the least.

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

Hi.

So, I am going to take Paul for bloodwork today. I am giving it another whirl. I am going to go when he gets up from his nap and has his lunch. Please, everyone, keep ur fingers crossed it works this time. I don't want to have to go back again to try. It's going to be tramatic. I need a drink. lol I'm not much of a drinker at all, but for this, I could totally use one when I get home tonight. Damn to hell the liquor stores who took away my strawberry swirls. damn them! lol

On other news, my job search continues. I found a really cool position thru FACS that is hiring. It's part time, but I may be able to keep both jobs for awhile. IT would get my foot into the door there at least. I have the education and all the requirements. I sent them my resume,but they couldn't open it, so I am trying to figure out a way to get it to them. (my printer is dead). If I got that job, I would probably have to keep my current job, but any little bit would help us I think.

So...I have been thinking. I think I want more than 2 children. Am I crazy? Maybe. I have no idea how to even broach the subject with Chris. I kinda want 4. (I definately want an even number). I just can't imagine that once I have baby number 2, that that will be it for us...no more of our own babies around. It might be a good thing, and we might still settle with two babies. And I am not getting any younger here...and staying pregnant seems difficult for me...so two might have to do. But I want a big family. I want my kids to have each other to play with and drive crazy. But the world isn't made for more than 2 children and 2 adults. I dunno. I kinda want Paul and number 2 close together. Then when number 2 is around 3 years old, try for number 3, and have number 3 and number 4 close in age. But I want to be done having kids by the time I am 35. I'm 28.5 now, so that might be difficult.

I don't want to have 3 either. I am one of three. I am the oldest of 3. There was always someone left out when there are 3 kids. So having a 4th makes sense. If I have three then I have to have 4.

Chris only wants to have two children. He's going to be 30 in September. He doesnt' want to be too old when we are done raising them all.

Any thoughts, or ideas?

Leave a note.

I had the weirdest dream last night...and I wish I could remember it better to write it down...I even remember during the dream that I should write it down.

My dream was about my parents. We were going to have a party for my dad. I don't know why. Then we were at the party and mom and dad were acting like a couple. My mom was sitting on my dad's lap and dad had his arms around my mom protectively, and they would kiss occasionally. I remember asking them what they were doing, and they responded something like they will always love each other. I then asked why they got divorced then, and they said they were better that way. It made them realize how much they really did love each other and that they could never get married again. It was weird. Hilda was around (my dad's 2nd wife) but she wasn't really in the picture much...b/c she was doing all the party planning. She didn't even seem to notice my parents, which I thought was odd. The party went great, and I couldn't get over my parents...I mean I knew my dad was dead in my dream, but I still saw him happy and healthy. He wasn't wearing his oxygen tank or anything like that. He was healthy, and he had more hair. Freddy (dad's dog) was there too running around around.

Then my dream got weirder. I was driving doug's truck back to the apartment and I was backing up and hit another vehicle by piercing something in the front end, and I just disengaged it and parked back at my spot, 2 spots away and said nothing of what I had done. Then I was inside talking to Cheryl and Brandon, who were sitting together on a bed, about their new house and how excited they were to finally move in soon. I even remember asking Cheryl if she'd seen my dad, and she said she had and that it seemed funny to see my dad and mom together.

I don't remember a whole lot after that...but it was weird. I mean, in reality, my parents are divorced. My dad remarried to hilda. He passed away in 2004. My parents did remain good friends though thru everything. Maybe that is where I got that from. I dunno.

On other news, guess what Paul did this morning? besides knocking the table stand onto the floor and falling? (yes, he did that). Chris, Paul and I were in our room while we all got ready for the day. Chris' face was near Paul, so I said to Paul, "Paul where is dada's nose?" (after we showed him of course), and he pointed to Chris' nose!!!! Then, I asked where dada's eyes were and he pointed to his eyes!!! I was SOOOO very proud of him. :) My babes is so smart!!!

Today, we are not up to much. Just hanging out here this morning. Then this afternoon, we will probably go visit my work ppl for a bit, then go and get afew groceries after Chris gets paid. That's about it. I am working on our laundry today. I did our bedding yesterday, our laundry today and Paul's tomorrow. He doesn't have enough stuff for a load yet.

Anyways, that's my news. Leave a note

Hi!

My babes' birthday balloon, which has been stationary downstairs since his birthday last month, made its way up to our room. Even when Chris shoo'd it downstairs, it returned and danced in front of me and all around the room. I think it was my dad saying hi :)

I'm not up to much today. Paul slept last night from 7pm until 9am, minus a brief diaper change emergency at 6am when Chris got up to go to work, so he changed it. It was so nice to get to sleep in! (it's sad though, that 9am is considered "sleeping in"). haha.

So, Paul didn't go down for his nap till 11:45am. It worked out really well. I gave him his breakfast, and we played b/c its too hot to go outside, so we played inside, until just after 11am. Paul was getting so cranky, so I gave him some lunch, took him up to our room so I could make our bed (b/c I'd washed the bedding and needed to put it back together), and Paul played with the box of his tylanol. (I am a bit worried b/c Paul kept hitting his head with his hands, and being cranky, so I wonder if he has a headache? so I gave him a dose just on the incase). I put him to bed then I had my own lunch. (ALL BY MYSELF!). It was nice.

This afternoon, I am not up to much. Chris has the vehicle today, and it's bloody hot out, so we won't be going out. We'll probably just hang out around here. Tomorrow, I will have the vehicle. I am deciding whether or not to try to take Paul for bloodwork again tomorrow, or wait till another day. I dunno. We'll see. Lets just put it that way.

On another off note, my boobs HURT like a bitch! I forgot how much they hurt when I have my period and am not on the pill. OMG. *ouch* Not fun at all. Even the sides of my boobs hurt.

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

Hi

It was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took Paul for his bloodwork yesterday. There were 2 techs to try to get blood from my babes. They origionally had me pinning him down with me practically ontop but on the side of him to hold him down, so they could stab him. When they did stab him, they even did that terrible, rooting around under his skin to find the vein once the needle was already in there thing. Then they decided I should sit on the chair and pin him standing up but facing away from me. Paul screamed, the whole snotty, sweaty, crying baby thing. It was terrible. My heart was breaking ppl. I was *this* close to loosing it myself, but am proud to say that I kept it together for his sake. They tried for a half hour before giving up. SO, that means that I HAVE TO TAKE HIM BACK SOMETIME SOON TO GET IT DONE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! They were going to take 4 viles of blood. FOUR. F.O.U.R. OMG.

It was very tramatic for me to see it and go thru it. I would have rather them stab me than the other way around. It was not fun. I was so upset. On the upside, Paul got a sticker. haha. Not that he really cared, mind u.

On other news that's not so horrible, I have to work today. 12-10. piff. Not looking forward to that. My 10 hour days are so LONG. I have the car, so Paul and I have to go and pick Chris up at work for 11:30 so he can drive me to work. Chris has to cut grass this afternoon, so he needs the car.

Good news, Chris' mom and Dan are coming down JUST FOR THE DAY on Saturday now!!!!!!! I'm so excited b/c they aren't spending the whole weekend. yeah!!! I'm thrilled :) I could kiss Dan for having plans on sunday! I love that man! :)

I have my physical on tuesday. ew. I don't really care about any of it cept for the weight bit. Not looking forward to seeing that number on the scale. Not at all. *shivers*

Next weekend is my weekend off!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. No real reason to be excited, mind u, but I'm thrilled regardless. AND Chris and my 11 years of being together anniversery is coming up on July 21st! I can't believe it's been 11 years. I have no idea where the time went! We have no plans on how we are going to celebrate it...but hopefully we come up with something...even if we just get a sitter to watch Paul for an evening so we can go out would be nice. we'll see how finances go.

So, that's my news. leave a note

HI.

I am taking Paul for blood work this afternoon, and I am not at all looking forward to it...dreading it, actually. I have been putting it off, and putting it off, and Chris has been hounding me to do it (not like HE'd actually take Paul to get it done, but that's not the issue right night). So, I am taking him to get it done from back when we had that specialist appointment for Paul, to ensure everything is going alright on the inside.

He's having a nap right now...but once he gets up, I will give him some lunch, then we will go and get it done, then we are going to have break with chris at his work, something we haven't done in a while, and then we will go to Shoppers and get a few items we need to get, then it will probably be time to pick chris up from work (as he says it will be a slow day and can be done as early as 4pm). However, then I have to drop Chris off at his client's house, where he has 6 bags of mulch to lay down, so it's not like Chris will actually be home earlier or anything like that.

Yesterday, Paul and Chris went on their first ever bike ride together. Chris has been so excited about it. He finally hooked up the carrier thing and away they went. Paul had a wonderful time, and he and Chris looked so cute together. Check out the pics:

( Read more... )

They had a great time, and Paul was in really good spirits when they got back. It took Chris over an hour to get that seat hooked up to his bike. I think he had a good time though.

Oh...on other news, I am thinking about joining curves. People that I know that have gone to it, seem to stick with it for a lot longer than other traditional gyms...so I am thinking of giving it a shot. Just curious though, for those of u who have gone, did u like it? Did you loose weight while going?

That's all for now :)

Hi!

My cats are driving me BONKERS!!!! They have become so annoying! Chris had to get up for work this morning at 5am. So, my cats both thought it appropriate to literally "meaw" from the time chris got up till Paul and I got up at 7:30am!!!! I was SOOOOOOO mad at them! THEN everywhere I went they were both literally under my feet. I can't even count how many times I almost tripped over them. gawd. So, if anyone out there wants two cats, both female and fixed and declawed, let me know.

On other news, things are going alright. Chris is hoping to be home at a decent time tonight...we'll see. Paul and I went for a walk this morning to tim hortons for a coffee and bagel. It was fun. He liked the trip. I liked having caffine. It was a win-win. I finally uploaded all my pictures from may camera...there was like over 200 photos. I just have to upload them onto facebook yet.

However, here is a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

Hope you liked the pics...:)

Hi!

Well, it's Tuesday already. I have no idea where the time goes anymore. This morning, Paul and I took Chris to work, came home to have breakfast and clean up a bit. Paul got to play with his toys. He missed his morning nap today because he had a doctors appointment that would normally fall right in the middle of his nap, so we just forewent it. Before we left for the doctors, I had to change Paul because he'd filled his pants. Then as soon as we got to the doctors, he'd managed to literilly have it go up his back a bit. Fun times! So, I changed him and I got some help from the receptionist lady.

Paul was weighed. He weighs 25.3 pounds and is 31.5 inches tall. The doctor was pleased. He checked Paul's heart and lungs and all was well in that dept. Then came time for the fun part...NEEDLES! I had to hold Paul facing me, with his one arm trapped under my arm so he could give Paul the two needles. The second one stung, and my babes just WAILED. It was all I had not to cry with him. Poor thing. Paul goes back in September for more needles. The dr commented on what a good job I am doing with raising Paul, which made me feel really good! he asked if we were going to have another one sometime soon, and I told him I was off the pill. He asked to make sure I was taking folic acid, and I said I was. then I mentioned that we figure we should try now b/c it took us 2 years to have Paul, and on the incase it would take two years again, and he said that typically that doesn't happen...it will happen sooner he said. WE'll see.

Anyways, after leaving there, we went to Timmy's and got a coffee and donut for Chris and myself and went to Chris' work. We got there in time for his lunch, so we had lunch with him. Then we came home here, gave paul his late lunch and put him down for a nap to which he is still sleeping from.

When paul gets up, depending on the time, we will run to Walmart and get his supply of diapers, cereal and food. Otherwise, we will see.

OH...and I have some news. We are going to redo our downstairs bathroom this year!!!! The entire thing. We got some granit counter top from out neighbours that Chris helped him with so we got that for free, and apparently it's expensive. So, we are going to get a new sink, new floor and new paint and we are either going to do our bathroom cupboards in a plain white paint or stain it. (i really want to stain it). All in all, it is going to cost us around 400.00 to complete, which isn't bad for a room. We are going to use Chris' landscape money so it won't cut into our budget at all. How cool! I'm so excited!!!! We went to Home Depot yesterday to check out prices of things. IT was so much fun.

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

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!

Well, I am enjoying my days off :) They have been great. I'm sad that tomorrow is my last day off though, but it's alright. Sunday was Father's day. Paul and I went shopping and got Chris from Paul the book, "Chicken Soup for the Father and Son's soul". I really thought that was appropriate. I got Chris two of his forgotten realm series books. He was happy. I saw there they had a book called "Chicken soup for the new mom's soul". I really wanted it, but couldn't afford it...and I'm not really a new mom anymore I guess, but that would have been a great book to have when I was, lol

For Father's day, Chris, Paul and I went out with our neighbours, Katherine, Jamie and James for the afternoon. We went to the beach and the park. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon, spending time with our kiddos. lol Then in the evening, I took Chris out for dinner and a movie. We went to this diner, that really ended up sucking ass. I was very disappointed with their service and their food. It was really bad. I wouldn't recommend anyone go :( Then, being it was Chris' choice for movie, we saw, "Indiana Jones and the somthing or another" that's in the theaters. Chris was SOOO excited. We've been to the movies once since paul was born, and that was last summer. It was really nice to be out. We saw the early movie, and when we were done, it had started to thunder and lightening out, so we decided to go down by the water and watch the lightening for awhile since we were paying the sitter till 10 anyways.

Chris had such a good time. He commented that he really wants us to make more of an effort to go out either just the two of us, or with another couple once a month for an evening. We haven't really done that a whole lot, with the other couple ppl. So, I think next month, I've asked Cheryl if she and Brandon want to go out for dinner and bowling next month on a Saturday. So, we'll see :)

Yesterday, I had my reading with my friend, S. It was fun to get out for a few hours during the day. She did my reading and it wasn't a very good reading. meaning, I did'nt like what she said :P Basically, she said that I felt really tied up, that something from my childhood past that I haven't dealt with was coming back again and I had to fix it before I could move on. She said that I'm going thru a tough time right now and will continue to go thru shit for another 6 months or so. She said I will feel like my world is falling down around me, but that it's something that needs to happen.

I'm not putting a whole lot into what she said. I hope she's wrong. We'll see. In the mean time, I will keep trudgeing along. haha. I did have a good time though. :)

Today, I am going for coffee with Cheryl this afternoon for awhile. Then maybe Paul and I will go and visit my ppl...but I'm not sure yet. That all depends when I am done with coffee. Cheryl and I are meeting at 2pm.

Tomorrow, will just be a day for me to hang out at home, do laundry and just chill. This weekend, Chris and Paul will be going to Elora for the family Golf tournament that is held every year. Chris is looking forward to it. (I'm looking forward to the time alone haha). I think he and Paul will be staying at my mom's for the nights, and Chris and Paul will be going back to Elora for the day on Sat. Sun, though Chris wants to see my aunt and get her gardening stuff done that she wants done. He's *hoping* that my mom or sister wouldn't mind watching paul for a few hours Sun morning so Chris can get that stuff done, but I haven't asked them yet b/c Chris didn't mention that to me till this morning. lol We'll see. I am going to pick Chris and Paul up Sun night after I get off work. I am hoping to take afew hours stat time on Sun so I can drive up there in not heavy traffic, as I technically have to work till 5pm.

Lisa wrote her LSATS yesterday. eep! Mom called me to tell me that she had finished writing, sounded exhausted and didn't think she did well. So we'll see. If she didn't do well, she can rewrite in Oct, no biggy :) I'm sure she rocked the LSAT socks though :P I'm waiting for her (Lisa) to call me later to tell me about it. Hopefully she does...*shakes fist* haha. She amuses me. lol

Anyways, I should probably find something else productive to do.

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.

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.
