Short Conversation this morning

"So when I am in Grade Two Eyes'll be TWO! And when I am in Grade Three she'll be three and when I am in Grade Four....." rambled Smiles. Yes it went on like that for awhile. Then Bear joined in saying he'll be in Grade Eight when Eyes' is in Kindergarten.

They also told me all about their plans for when they have a tree house. Which won't happen in a long while since we have no trees to put one in (I am sorry the Pine trees in the back do not make good tree house trees!) And the elm in the front is on not on our lawn so the city would tear it down if we built one in there. Maybe I can convinve Grandpa to build one out at the farm...

An Interesing Poem that I am not sure where it came from in my brain

He opens his eyes
Wreckage is all around
The seatbelt is unlatched
He stumbles from the car
The woman in the other car
He stumbles to her door
Something familiar about her
But no time to think about that
He sees the blood
and her mangled body
The door is flown wide
as he struggles with her belt
Why does her scent haunt him?
Who is she?
Why does he want to hold her?
He drags her onto the pavement
There are sirens in the distance
He doesn't know where to start
So he gently holds her head
Her laboured breathing slows
He realizes she is staring
and with her final breathe
she whispers the truth
"You were my one true love..."
Her face he had never seen before
but as the life fades from pale eyes
he can only think
of his wife and kids
at home!

Eyes' First Birthday!

Eyes Birthday on Sunday went fairly well. She was extremely cute in the red dress that Nana had bought her for Christmas last year. I was surprised it still fit her but I don't have hopes that it'll fit her for this Christmas. Anyways we had ten adults over for supper and Eyes really enjoyed her first taste of Chocolate Cake. Grandma let her get her fingers into it before the candle was blown out! So of course that was the piece that she got to eat, crumble, spread all over the table and generally mess Grandma's shirt with! Obviously after that she got a bath.

For the most part she got clothes (which Mommy got excited about since they were cute sleepers and we need more for her) but Eyes? Eyes went for the drum that Smiles recycled and was funny to watch her toddle around carry this thing that was almost as big as she was with this HUGE smile on her face! Sigh kids gotta love them.

Other than that nothing much has been happening. Life has slowed down a little but with the holidays coming I don't expect it to stay this way. So I think I'll enjoy the break for a bit. I had been hoping to go to Raven's last night and get some sewing done but a friend who now lives in Halifax was in town (or a nearby town) so she went and visited him instead! One of these weeks we'll actually get together on a Monday and do some sewing! Oh well I will see Raven tonight when we go swimming :)

Bruises

Both kids came home with bruises today! Bear has a really good shiner from where a kid hit him in the face with his lunch box. Smiles got hit during gym with a puck. Sigh! And now major temper tantrums from them during homework! What a Friday! Hubby hurt his shoulder again so... argghh! What a frickin' day!

On a lighter note here's a silly poem.

A cat on lap
wants to purr purr purr
She is black
but sheds white fur fur fur
A baby tail puller
she doesn't like for sure sure sure!

Just once I'll use the term lollybloggery

I figured I should actually blog something because you know lots has happened. And yet I feel strangely disconnected from it all. The last couple of weeks has been long and roller coaster like with small stupid things that added onto each other making a mountain out of a mole hill. Of course it could just be that I am depressed again! It is that time of the season and unfortunately that time of the month so the combo don't do me so well! I think I might have to make another Doctor's appointment soon. Between that and my lethargy I really am starting to wonder if I am alright.

Oh so a quick account of the roller coaster - just the highlights mind you! There was the hot water heater being replaced with an On-Demand one, people coming in to measure for new counter tops, the kids getting sick on and off, me getting sick on and off, the baby is officially a toddler (she's having so much fun walking around - and she's FAST!), and it was Hubby's birthday yesterday. Eyes' birthday will be on Sunday and we plan on doing a joint celebration then. I feel bad because I meant to make a cake for Hubby but was so sick and lethargic that I barely got the dishes done. I did force myself to do the cat litter though so that's done too!

Oh in regards to the diabetic cat she is back on antibiotics for a whole month now (another part of the roller coaster) because she can't seem to get rid of that bladder infection. I am starting to wonder if it is a bladder infection and not something more serious. I have already talked to the kids about Euthanasia should that be her future. It breaks my heart to think I would have to do it but I really can't see many other options at this point. Still I am not giving up hope that she'll get rid of the infection and then we can get her insulin shots steadied and she'll live for a few more years at least. The other cat is fine! The big nasty lump that had been infected on her cheek has been dealt with and is now gone down to just a small tissue scar.

Last but not least it snowed yesterday and Smiles was so excited that she had to immediately go out to the garage and get her new Snowsuit! Her and Bear then proceeded to use all of the snow in the back and front yards. They had made a huge snowman (that was taller than me - I think they cheated and stood on the picnic table!) and then destroyed it so they could then use the snow to make a fort! This morning I let Eyes out of the stroller when we got back from dropping the kids off at school. She seemed to like her first taste of snow! Um that's literally by the way! I don't think the snow will last long since the weather seems to be warming up again. Which is fine by me :)

Okay okay this is the last thing I have started playing WOW again and have not yet decided if I regret it or not. After all I can get sucked up playing it for hours on end and since it is a live server game I have a hard time getting off whenever I want! I always feel I should go do this quest since it's on my way to this point and then I can hand in X quests all at once. Or I should get to the Auction House and sell all those items I can't use or upgrade whatever I can, etc etc etc... So yeah I have made it a point unless the baby is sleeping or Hubby's home I won't play because I don't want to neglect the kids. But the good thing is I can blame it all on Big D and my brother EEK since they were the ones who got me time cards! Hahahaha
