For some reason it took an OLYMPIC EFFORT to keep everyone happy for Canada Day….I do not know what is going on these days. We have had sickness and then the heat and the heat makes me really crabby and other stuff has just been ticking me off and Adam is down and on and […]
Not Keeping up with the Jones’s
Sigh..the summer hath beguneth. And I KNEW this would happen….but I did good and stayed out and let diplomatic boy deal. Backstory….and if you ARE a neighbour reading my site..HI! You won’t like this. Let me just say, that we are lucky where we live. The area is beautiful and it is a lovely town […]
A Hot Sweaty Sick Weekend..
Poor Adam. By Wednesday afternoon he had a blazing fever and was in bed with a blinding headache. His ‘Grad’ was the following morning. After a night of throwing up and mommy laying with him to supply water and cold compresses…he decided he could make it the at least the ceremony. You can see his […]
Conversations with my Son…
This morning… Adam: ‘ Mom, girls look better than boys.” Me: ‘how so?” A: ” Well girls just go straight down, but boys have sticking out bumpy bits.” “Girls look better.” Yesterday in bath.. A: “MOM! I can make them go up and down” A clenches and unclenches watching tiny scrote go up and down. […]
My Girl is Four!
Four years ago today, by this time, I was probably sitting in my hospital room chatting on the phone while Caity snoozled in her little bassinet. Her birth was remarkable in how FAST it was and how great I felt afterwards…compared to the WEEKS of recovery from Adam. She came out screaming and angry. She […]
Major Photo Opp will Ensue
Today we celebrate Caity’s birthday. She doesn’t know, but we are taking her for a pony ride at a nearby stable with her little buddy. Afterward cake and the usual festivities….. She is already very excited. I need to get myself sorted and finish errand running. Why does ToysRus alway only have one or two […]
Hump Day
So it has been 7 days since Crunchy Husband started a job that takes him OUT OF THE HOUSE and INTO AN ACTUAL OFFICE. He is gone from 8 in the morning to around 6:30 or 7 at night. He has not had such a job since before Adam was born. It feels really weird. […]
Big Brother Doesn’t Give a Crap
This is despicable. It is also a good reason for people who have free Blogger/Blogspot sites to leave and find another more ‘ethical’ free set up…like WordPress.com for example. As most know..GOOGLE owns Blogger. I am assuming because of their size, they just don’t really give a crap…. What am I blathering on about? My […]
Morning Dog Shot..
Being that yesterday’s weather was spectacular, we wanted to get outside for a bit. We had hid in the mall, while CH did some Father’s Day shopping….when we got home the dog was a tad frantic. So we hit the local off leash area, which weirdly is RIGHT beside my kids school. Convenient, yes, but […]
