Canucks Game Tonight!

So I read up on it and yes, there is a hormone that comes back into play in your third trimester that can make you ill.  Just my luck hey?  Last pregnancy I was still barfing everyday at this point so I didn’t notice.  I’m not even close to barfing, I’m just feeling icky.  I… Continue reading Canucks Game Tonight!

A Case of the Mondays

I’m so stinking tired.  So tired, in fact, that I might actually take a nap today.  I’m not a big “napper” the last one I took was weeks ago in MB and it actually really made me feel better.  It was the perfect length.  I’ve been feeling rather nauseated lately as well.  Are there weird… Continue reading A Case of the Mondays

Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums

I’m a tough love kind of person. I’m very tender and very loving towards people but I’m also a bit tough about certain things, I get it from my mom. When it comes to Silas’ tantrums, my first instinct is to say “too bad” and walk away. My mother-in-law pointed out to me that my… Continue reading Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums

Taking Matters Into my Own Hands

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. My husband has this problem, his fingers cannot feel a hard mass in muscle tissue therefore he can’t really help me work out my knots in my back. I’m sure there’s a name for this condition of his. Anyway, my back REALLY hurts from… Continue reading Taking Matters Into my Own Hands

WD40 Rocks My World

I’m not in a big computer mood today, even though I still find myself sitting here.  I don’t think I’ll write much.   Silas is down for his nappy-poo.  He just spent a good 5 minutes rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming for reasons only he and God knows.  He’s been really happy otherwise. … Continue reading WD40 Rocks My World

When you discipline a 15 month old you must ______________. Please fill in the blank. Sometimes I really feel like I have no idea what I am doing.

I Love Peeing My Pants?

We had the strangest weather yesterday.  When I woke up, we were having freezing rain.  I watched as that stopped and then a while later it started to rain and then it started to pour and then suddenly everything was white with hail, then it stopped.  The sun shone for a while, it got cloudy,… Continue reading I Love Peeing My Pants?

Hug a Chiropractor

I love my chiropractor!  Not in a romantical way of course, just in a “you fixed my body and I love you” way.  It’s taken two visits and I’m almost completely fixed of my sciatic and back problems.  I still have some hip pain but that’s just my arthritis dealing with my joints being loose… Continue reading Hug a Chiropractor

Beauty or Beast?

Sometimes being pregnant feels so inhuman.  When I’m spawning something inside of me, being the carrier of new life, it almost feels like I’m more animal than human.  At least it’s not my instinct to eat the placenta.  I told the nurse she could take Silas’ home and make soup out of it but she… Continue reading Beauty or Beast?

General Unwellness

Ugh, whatever my husband had last week has now graced my presence. I woke up this morning with a lovely sore throat and just an overall sense of unwellness. I hadn’t been feeling normal all weekend and now I guess I know why. GRRRR. For someone who never gets out in public often I do… Continue reading General Unwellness

The Conclusion of the Odor

After finishing yesterday’s post I bravely ventured to my closet, opened the door and looked in. The stench really hit me and I was frightened. I thought I would just do a quick surface scan of the closet to see if I could spot what the horrible odor was coming from. I saw shoes and… Continue reading The Conclusion of the Odor

A Good Mood Day

Silas has been in SUCH a good mood so far today.  I don’t know what to do with it.  I keep thinking I’m going to jinx it somehow!  There wasn’t any fussing or hanging or whining or smashing of faces on the floor.  It’s been a lovely morning, perhaps it’s because the sun is actually… Continue reading A Good Mood Day
