Best be dusting off my shoes.

YIKES!

Imagine the screaming, after I caught him. He was running around the livingroom panicking…while I OBLIVIOUSLY asked him what the heck happened.
I thought he has dropped a bottle of water in his foot.
Nope.
Not cool basket making people.
I sent an angry email.

They sent several pleasant ones back….they are sending for the basket so they can further investigate.

Holy hell sharp right?
ALL the little square holes are like that.
My kids have ALWAYS played in or under laundry hampers…imagine that toe is a 2 year olds. Or a 12 month old finger!

OUUUCH!

He’s SO over it.
Was fine for skiing this weekend.

Better late than pregnant. (HA!)

only -4C here today.
Sunny and going to 0C.
ZERO!

Walking Stef to work!

Latah

Chris has been off these past couple of weeks. WAY TO THROW OFF MY SCHEDULE!

Good lord. As much as I dislike being home alone for weeks at a time (well not ALONE…just spouseless) we had kind of gotten ourselves into a good routine.
AND I had once again become the MOMMY to the boys.

Which is kind of huge. Since they had been favouring Chris since the summer of my discontent.

Let’s see…what else…what else…oh yeah, I think we’re going to adopt another quaker….they’re amusing and chatty. And this little dude needs a home…we’ll see what Willie thinks about it.

I’ve been inactive for a few weeks…xmas threw me off and my gym membership expired.

Now I am debating renewing it….or just buying something I can use at home cause I also need to buy a car in the spring. That’s right…I’m FINALLY getting my license back. And WHAT an ordeal that was…let me tell you (another time).

Noah has settled into his new school (we had to move him on account of asshole’s on staff).

That’s it really…nothing much else.

OH yeah, my period is a week late.

And I’ve only really been noticeably late 2 other times.

It’s odd though cause I had fullblownfrenchfryeatingchocolatecravinghusbandhatingPMS a week ago.

Who knows seems odd. Baby can’t REALLY be much of a possibility with the whole vasectomy and everything thing.

Right?

P.S.

AND I just noticed, that tomorrow is my little blog’s birthday.

6 years tomorrow.

shit.

Well I suspect that last year doesn’t really count.

BUT STILL!

6 years.

Noah is 7.

He made his internet debut pretty early I guess.

Nothing new…really.

Chris works out of town, renovating hotels or something. He’s home mostly on the weekends but sometimes he will work through it and come home early the following weekend.

It’s HARD. I know…I know, I sound like sucky. But seriously. I was YOUNG when Chris and I began our life of living in sin, and we’ve been together for 16 years. I haven’t spent so much time at home alone with our children…EVER.

I mean it’s not like the summer of my discontent where I was kind of willing to sell them to anyone. But…it is…A LOT of work.
And you know what?
Teenagers suck.
A lot.

And they are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS hungry.

And they think you’re stupid.

But you should cook for them ALL THE TIME.

And get them more juice.

And that you’re stupid

And you know what else?

Noah uses entirely too much toilet paper.

Which is how I learned to PLUNGE a toilet.
Seriously I’ve never had to before. And I didn’t really fix the problem…but it stopped the toilet from over flowing and dripping into my DINING ROOM.

ick.

It’s STILL slow to drain…there’s a new one in the garage but….we don’t always have the time on the weekend for him to do that.

down with indoor plumbing.

Anyone this Sophia Lauren is a LITTLE creepy looking now?

Oops…gotta run I can hear the hauntingly familiar growl of an empty teenaged boy’s stomach.

*shivers*

Cute huh? Having let his wings grow for 6 months (!) They were finally long enough for him to fly..only he didn’t know how….SAD right, kinda like not letting a fish swim…right? I mean I understand trimming them so they can’t very much height, but to cut them so they just plummet to the floor when they step off their cage and not them to learn to fly at all? Not nice.

So we taught him to fly.

After such a strenuous work out. Willy had a long hot bath.

So now he’s king of the castle. Eating dinner and he can’t see you? Be prepared for a bird to either land on your head or your plate especially if you are eating rice and vegetables or pasta. It’s kinda neat having a pet that talks to you. Says bye bye when you have your coat on…and says night night when you turn off the lights.

ANYWAY….enough of that shit.

Having issues getting to the gym presently…so I’m going for a run. At least I will get some cardio in today.

Happy Thursday people! I’ve missed you.

And now.

This is today…I have some from 08 but I cannot find them…but you know…moo.

The skirt in first pictures….size 14. The jeans today 6! (SIX!)

AMEN!

Mark (Blog Father) & I Edmonton Airport ’06

(just for Jon)

Who knew?

Also, 2 inches gone from my waist. TWO INCHES!

And I feel so much stronger.

Love it.

We’ve been doing well. This week seemed harder than the first. Well it seemed like WE worked harder. So I htink that’s a good thing.

My second attempt at Y0! Gah! was…better, even though I twisted my twisted chair a little to much and tweaked my bum a little.

Generally I enjoy it. I feel stronger. I’ve never had a lot of upper body strength other than carrying babies around and now…I HAVE A MUSCLE! Kinda nifty!

So…ONWARD we go.

Phase 2 begins the week after next (next week is a rest week…filled with yo!gah! and stretches).

I understand it’s WAY more of an ass kicker than this phase.

We shall see.

I haven’t done a lot of Yoga…I’ve done a little pilates but that was years about and I’m not sure how qualified my instructor was.

He provides a beginner version right up to advanced and warns you to not go beyond your comfort zone (I’m sure he meant physical but I like to think the mental was implied)
There was much of it we sat out…mostly cause we we couldn’t follow along all tied up like a pretzel…we went slow…and watched a lot.
We did quite a bit…and it involves WAY MORE strength than I imagined.

BUT with what we did do yesterday….even the beginner moves..my body feels FANTASTIC today.
And for the first time in literally years my back does not hurt after work.

A seriously….WTF?

Mind you, we did 2 dvds that involved different areas of the back.

So maybe the two combined?

Tonight is legs and back.
Pray for me.
