Growing

It’s not something I necessarily choose to do, it’s just what happens in my head when I’m upset about something.  Reason comes knocking on the door and suddenly I’m looking at the situation in a positive light. It might be a coping skill I’ve somehow gained in my years of dealing with the ebb and… Continue reading Growing

Ugly Cry

You know.  America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent…..they’re kinda cheesy shows.  I don’t know what exactly it is but I think Hasslhoff has something to do with it. I’ll never ever forget seeing him in the lobby of the Best Western in his wifebeater and droopy-drawer sweat pants.  Yikes. Anyway.  You must now watch this… Continue reading Ugly Cry

The $400 Lesson

Yesterday we picked up Silas from school.  Upon arriving home, Silas and Isaac were driving me CRAZY bouncing off the walls.  I had had enough of it.  Time to get OUT!

Isaac woke up yesterday morning, heard he was now four and announced that he was big now and ready for hot sauce.  He asked my sister to make him eggs and put Franks on top and he ate them up. This morning was the same.  No more ketchup, he’s too sophisticated for that. This weekend… Continue reading Happy Birthday Isaac!

Hanky Panky

We’ve had a new neighbour on one side of our townhouse for a few months now.  I’ve never even seen this man, he and I both keep to ourselves most of the time. When we moved in, Brent just leaned our headboard against the wall and slid our bed up to it.  It’s very loose… Continue reading Hanky Panky

A Late Night Reno

Brent and I had quite the fun last night, at a strange hour we began a strange task. I was sitting in our chair thinking it was time for a shower and bed.  I was fully frustrated about money and dealing with a VERY angry toddler all day long.  I was thinking of going for… Continue reading A Late Night Reno

A Visit From Lucas

My Sis in law Leanne came over this morning with Lucas.  She brought us some Krispy Creams which are OK for Silas to eat…nice.  I was feeling all warm and welcoming and I made Lucas some lunch to have with Silas.  I was giving Silas his usual probiotic chewable and asked if Lucas wanted one. … Continue reading A Visit From Lucas

I’m… Continue reading Yucky, Blucky and Snotty

Party Time

Silas’ birthday party went off without a hitch.  It was really fun for him I think.  He had his two best toddler buds here to play with and loads of cake and snacks.  I kinda just filled the table with all of his favorite snacks and let him graze.  We took into consideration Lucas’ allergies… Continue reading Party Time
