So the blogher hangover continues…have felt jet lagged for the last few days…sniffles, exhaustion and just plain out of it.
Monday was insane….Adam and I went with Caity to Grouse Mountain…there are photos somewhere.
It was a gorgeous day to climb in a bus with 30 odd preschoolers and then onto a swaying gondola ride to the top of the mountain.
The kids loved it. Adam had been before, but was thrilled to be there again and with his mom!
I was just happy they had Starbucks.
However, it was gorgeous. The scenery, the bears…the humping bears! Brothers??? And the cute…CUTE lumberjack show. Hubba hubba.
It tired them out enough so that I could have a nap and the kids played video games.
However, they were a tad wound up so I told hubs to not worry about grocery shopping and that I WOULD HANDLE it the next day….NOT.
Felt like TOTAL crap yesterday. Had to take Adam to the ped for a check up. Nana TRIED to watch them for me. Fed us lunch, but then the buggers spotted their neighbour kid buddies….the kids of the gossipy neighbours….Yah.
I trooped back to our court and Adam was SOOO thrilled to see them all. I warned him to try to play nice but to leave if he felt they were being mean.
We have HEARD them try to get rid of Adam. We know he can be hard to play with sometimes..but he is the youngest too. And I also know most of the snottiness comes from their parents.
Anyway….the mom heard me. Told me that that was a mean thing to say and that boys will be boys and that perhaps I am misinterpreting what the kids are saying.
Riight.
She then continue to tell me that CH and I had been distant and mean all spring and that ALL the neighbours had noticed.
REALLY?
I pointed out that people had basically stopped talking to us the moment I stopped doing daycare.
CH pointed out later that is was basically when Scott died.
But apparently is has all been us….not being out etc.
Yeah…that wasn’t me out every frakking day with the kids and dog.
Anyway…instead of getting confrontational about it all..I said that I was sorry that they had felt that way and we had not meant that at all…and we just wanted the kids to play and get along.
She seemed mollified by that and I just wanted Adam to play with his friends. No matter what I think of the parents.
So that was my ENTIRE afternoon. Feeling like crap and watching the kids.
By after 6 everyone was getting crabby, so I called it and dragged Adam in.
In his rage he was sniping at me and flailing around ….stormed upstairs in a huge snit…I at the same time trying to send him to his room.
He stood there yelling back till I noticed something.
Blood.
Blood on his MOUTH…..
Blood where is wobbly tooth had been!
“Oooh, I shriek, “You lost your tooth!”
I usher confused boy to bathroom…he sees the blood and FREAKS. I help him wash his mouth out and show him the hole.
He is fine when he realizes it doesn’t hurt.
Then we realize we don’t know where the tooth is. Big search ensues..but no tooth.
You all saw me twittering this anyway.
So my boy lost his first tooth. He has a wittle whisp now.
But the tooth fairy left a nice note about not worrying about the missing tooth…and some cold hard cash of course.
He was QUITE thrilled.
Caity was REALLY jealous.
Today I was feeling SLIGHTLY better.
I have had to do a LOAD of laundry thanks to the cat and ONE of the kids peeing in the various beds.
I am now sick of laundry.
It is 9:13 and they are still up. Though I think one is asleep.
CH HAD to go watch the Fireworks at his bosses place. Lucky him.
I kept them in today so I could get some work done. Laundry is done. Vacuuming sort of started. Bathroom sort of cleaned.
Dog food was bought.
Adorable baby outfit was purchased for friends baby.
I do need to do some linky love for all the cards I got at BlogHer..I need to try to remember who I met and who I missed.
Looking at photos and so on, I feel like I must have been at another convention. Oh well.
Will share thoughts when I can think again!

Arghhh! Another blogger I missed. I swear that in that sea of people, and three days to do it, you’d think I could’ve met a lot more than I did.
Maybe we should set up a lower mainland blogger get together!

I am completely bummed that we did not meet this past weekend. I still can’t figure out how we missed each other.

Congrats on his first lost tooth. I’ll bet the tooth fairy found it and picked it up somewhere. ๐
