Running Commentary

tra la la la la la my parents moved in down the street..someone kill me August 27 2006

Does anyone remember when Noah had the chickenpox? Cause I think he has them again. If I had actually brought IN my camera from the trailer I would take a picture and post it for you all to diagnos for me, but I am laxy and there is a bbq in my way. So for now you’ll have to take my word for it. He’s spotty and bumpy, though not very itchy. He has however been unusually whiney.

OH SO WHINEY.

What is with the whine? I mean I KNOW I whine. Believe me I know. I do not however incorporate fake crying into my whine (usually). Because that? Is sheer madness. And it makes me want to throw my baby out with the bath water…except he doesn’t fit down the hole.

So my parent’s have moved into my neighbourhood. Yupper they sure have. I can see their front step from mine.Yup yup yup.

Isn’t that great?

Let me explain how this came to be. You see many many years ago..lets say about 6. They moved back here from the WAY north of Canada. And they lived in a bungalow with a huge basement. Fabulous…well you know fabulous..but totally functional. Backyard backed on to bush even (not a stretch in this part of the world).

ANYWAY…4 years ago MOTHER decided that her arthritis had moved to her knees and marching up and down the basement stairs once or twice a week was no longer an acceptable option. The only rational solution was to give up the house and move. Into an apartment. A tiny one. She has never ever lived in an apt before.

And move they did. Shortly there after my father came out of retirement (again) and is away from home 4 weeks out of every 6 for work. fast forward 4 years later and my father is still working.

Mother HATES apartment living as it cannot keep up with her compulsive shopping and filled up rather quickly.

So they moved.

Back into a house.

Except this one?

is a 4 level backsplit…exactly like mine.

And now to do laundry? She has to go down 2 sets of stairs. Unless she is coming from the bedrooms…then it’s 3 flights.

Make sense?

Of course it doesn’t

Welcome to my mother.
