So my Feffie leaves us tomorrow some time.  My Noah will be devastated. She has sufficiently spoiled them rotten. Brendan got a ROBOSAPIEN from her and Noah got a Leapster TV thing. And besides all that she let them sit on her for extended periods of time. She’s not looking forward to leaving. I’m sure she’ll blubber like a fool the entire way. Poor bastard.

She says she will return in the summer time, but let’s keep in mind that she was supposed to be back by Christmas when she moved, that was 2 years ago.

She sucks large icicles. That’s what I think.

We are praying for a snowstorm that shuts down airports or ear infections that stop her from flying. But the coast is clear so far.

We are off to lunch today with another sister. Should be hilarious, then I am totally making her hang out with me while I work tonight.

 
 

It Just Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without Someone Hacking Up A Lung December 28 2006

So Feffie came, she’s still here infact.

The surprise went REALLY well. I have video…well ok it’s mostly audio but i need to shorten it and will post it at a later date.

Christmas morning was fabulous. The kids were squealing with delight. And then Feffie brought out her presents. And there was more squealing.

We spent boxing day at my sister’s house. It was alright, Noah and the little guy there got along well this time. It’s touch and go with him on account of his autism, sometimes he can be quite brutal with Noah.

I have a billion photos to upload, which I promise I will get to (i can SMELL the anticipation), but as I am sick sick sick right now, I shall opt to rest instead.

Rest.

Ha! If by rest you mean, watching two children wreck my house then I am totally resting.

Also? I totally took down my tree today. We are all getting sick. My cough is keeping me (and Feffie) up at night. Noah is getting whinier by the second and brendan just mentioned that his chest felt prickly. (not a good sign).

Our christmas curse strikes again! Although it seems to be a few days late this year.

Feffie and I are hoping to do a video post. Though she’s got a sore throat so don’t count on it.

FEFFIE GAVE MY A COOL CLIPPY IP0D I LOOOOOOVE IT.

Also? I got NEW running shoes.

My usually saucony hurricanes but this year the model is different it’s SOOO pretty and slightly more cushiony. I can’t wait till I can breath again to run.

p.s. i totally found those pounds I lost before xmas.

blah

 
 

And The Weeping Shall Soon Follow December 21 2006

In about 7 hours of so, Feffie will casually stroll through my front door.

We are surprising Brendan with her visit. He has no idea she’s coming. And he is going to freak the fuck out.

I can’t wait.

Feffie lived with us in Southern Ontario for 8 years. Brendan doesn’t remember his life before she moved in, as far as he is concerned she was always there. He hasn’t seen her in about a year and half and he misses her desperately. I think he is actually going to scream. Like a girl. And then opening weep. Feffie being the big sucky baby that she is will most certainly shed tears. I can’t wait to see her. But the boys are going to smother her this week.

Noah is not in on the surprise, I am will tell him in the morning when he wakes up that she’s here just so he’s not weirded out (he will be shy).

So if you don’t hear from me much this weekend, try to contain yourself.

Now With 100% More Comments! December 18 2006

Chris
Here’s mostly what we looked like after a crazy weekend of work and shopping. Chris was left home alone on Sunday to ready the house for Feffie’s arrival. Being alone, I wasn’t there. So there was no one there to keep him on track. So he cleaned the livingroom, and then build a coat rack. He vaccumed the play room and then sketched out plans to renovate down there.
And then? He forgot to make dinner. HELLO? And he thinks he can get by in life without me nagging him! Look at that face! It’s BEGGING me to nag him.
My blogging might be lacking this week (as opposed to how it is normally OVERFLOWiNG with content and thought!)
we, like everyone else on the planet are, what you might classify as busy. Busy for us that’s for sure. Let’s have a look at our week, shall we?
Monday I work 11:30am - 8:30pm (icky hours)
Chris works 7am - 4pm or 5pm (depending on what’s happening)
The boys swim 5 - 5:30
ok so monday’s not too bad.
Tuesday I work 9 am - 2:30 (not bad, a little time for shopping or baking after ward)
Chris works 7am - 4pm/5pm

Thursday Pamalama OFF (bake bake bake bake bake bake bake bake)
Chris work work work work work
NO SWIMMING
NO CONCERTS
FEFFIE ARRIVES! (do a dance, Feffie’s here, do a dance Feffie’s here)
Ok, we’re not that busy, but kind of busy. And and and? I think I got a total of 3 hours sleep last night. Insomnia blows long and hard.
My boss that is quitting is being a dick. She scheduled me way more than she needed to this week (I also work ALL next weekend) and keeps doing stupid things and then says “what are they gonna do? fire me?”
ARGH.
It’s annoying and stupid.
She’s burning bridges, which is her choice, but she doesn’t have to take us with her.
I turned down the managers position cause…well…many reasons. In Sept i might’ve considered it. But right now is not the right time for me.
AND it kind of blows.
I’ll get into that later.
Happy Monday. I’m everyone is much busier than I am. Goodluck!
