So Relaxing

It's just me, myself and I here for a little R&R. Craig is working a night shift (7pm-7am), and the kids are in bed. It's cold outside, i'm curled up on the couch watching Oprah and I have the fire lit. I took a picture to show you, but it didn't come out very good, i'll post it anyways. I think the only thing I like about cold weather is nights like this. It just feels so cozy.

To change the subject. It amazes me how much Jenna learns in school. She's in grade 2 now and besides the basic spelling, math, reading etc... she just finnished learning about the solar system. While Tyler was watching Little Einstien tonight which was about planets, she was telling me what planet was what. I remember learning that stuff in grade 5, I think it was. She told me she needs an astronaut suite so she can go to space. My daughter the Astronaut, it has a good ring to it don't you think?

Cold!!!

Sorry, let me rephrase that. FREEZING! I'm frozen, I hate cold weather and today is freezing! Just a little whining and complaining for you. I don't have much really to write about today but I do want to tell you to what I woke up to at 5am in the morning. I'm a sound sleeper, I don't hear anything (except an occasional call out to Mom from the kiddies). We sleep with a HUGE fan on in our room and it's very noisey. I woke up at 5 am this morning hearing wind and rain absolutely pounding off of the house! Seriously, I was totally freaked out, it doesn't get like that here in Newfoundland. I had to get out of bed to look out of the window. It was crazy!!! I can't even describe it. Tyler has a huge ride on escavator (sp) trackor thingy and it had blown in the neighbours yard. Pretty exciting for me. haha. I really was amazed.

Sorry to bore you with my eventfull night. Just a little note though... The Rubber Gloves made a come back!!!! Jenna and Tyler are happily (and quietly) giving eachother "High fives" with blown up rubber gloves at the moment.

Rubber Gloves!!!

My children fight. I think the reason why they are on this planet is to test my patience to see just how much yelling, screaming, and crying I can really handle. They don't get along.....ever.

I am now the proud owner of two pairs of rubber gloves aka my babysitter! You just blow them up, give them to the kids and they play quietly together! I've decided to not give the kids Christmas presents, they will each get a box of gloves! (it would be nice). I'm willing to put money on it that the novelty will wear off very very soon. The picture above was taken this morning while trying to get a moments peace before Jenna left for school. It worked!

NOVELTY GONE. Oh well.

Happy October 1st!!

Happy October 1st to everyone! What's so special about today? Nothing. Just trying to make the best of it. As of 2:30 pm today my Dad no longer lives in the same town as me or the same province. My whole life he has been near me. Do you ever have the feeling like as if something is missing? That's how I feel. We didn't see eachother every day or even talk everyday, but he was there to see if needed. Know what I mean? I had such an empty feeling driving by his old street after bringing him to the airport today. I took some cute pictures with him and the kids last night. Jenna said "I need a picture with poppy to put on my wall". She's heartbroken he's gone. It's all apart of life right!? I'm sure it will get easier, he could be a lot further away....

So Cute!

The cutest Blog On The Block has got to be THE BEST and EASIEST site! Don't you just love my new Cute Background? I'm going to have so much fun with this! YAY!!! Go here for your background!

Not much to say tonight. My Dad is spending tonight and tomorrow night at our house, and leaving Wed afternoon for NB.... I'm busy working, being a Mom and then trying to figure out what to do with all of my Dad's stuff which he is leaving here for me. Which might I add is AWSOME! I've decided to keep most of his stuff and get rid of our stuff, seeing his stuff was better! I'm pretty upset about him moving, it's really hitting me now. I had a small breakdown yesturday cleaning his house, which just happens to be the house I grew up in. So many memories.

Turkey Anyone?

It's 9:03 pm and I just finished cooking a turkey, and all of that yummy stuff!!! Am I nuts? Nope! I just wanted to make my Dad 1 last good home cooked meal before he leaves to move to Moncton on Wednesday :( I figured I would cook it tonight because all day tomorrow i'll be cleaning his house and when we get hungry we could just come to my place and warm it up. Damn i'm smart! More about my Dad moving ( crying) in a few days... I hope everyone an as productive days as I did!!!

I Can't Stop!!!

I'm fairly new to the blogging world, and super new to actually having my own Blog. It's so interesting though. I can't stop reading Blogs! You discover that there's a whole different world out there. It's crazy, how different yet the same so many people are. I find it so interesting reading other Mom's blog's. Seeing what their days are like, and how they handle situations that I can't seem to handle. I find a lot of Mom's Blog's on MomDot. You can go here http://www.momdot.com/ to check it out. A little confession... I was actually trying to just put the word "here" there so you could click on that to get to the site, but once again I don't have a clue! Leave a comment and let me know how it's done! (begging, and pleading)
