pleasant surprise :)

-
what a nice surprise.. mark's cousin jeff came for a visit today with his girlfriend.. ahem, fiancee.. they got engaged recently! i'm so happy for them, they're seriously the cutest couple ever! we don't see them often since they live in montreal, but when they are here, the four of us always try to get together for a coffee or a quick visit. this was their first meeting with alex, and christina fell in love i think!

bonus for us.. the wedding's going to be down south.. dominican or cuba they are thinking, but it's time for us to start saving so hopefully we can make it down.

had a hard night with the babes last night, so its going to be an early night. he's in bed now, but fighting sleep, so i'm hoping that soon enough, it'll be off to bed for me.

ps.. in keeping with my resolution.. mr. friend called today and asked if i could help him with a few things on the computer.. i went over for a couple of hours (without mark. big step.), did what i could, had a glass of wine and chatted for a bit, and then came home. yet another pleasant surprise. when he's not around his buddies, he's actually a pretty decent person.

first of all.. thanks to you mommas out there who posted comments on my "bad day" post. none of my friends really have babies and nobody quite gets what i'm trying to say. i guess i'm going to have to find a way to meet some other moms. on another note, we just brought my little man home from outpatients. he's got infections in both ears and a terrible cold. he's miserable, but still smiling. update: little man is finally in bed. mark & i decided to stay here in oxford for one more night just so we didn't uproot alex after the hubbub of the hospital. we're going to head off tomorrow. i'm looking forward to getting home to my own house, but it sure is nice to have mom's help with alex being sick.

a rotten end to the weekend...

so, i had a great weekend at home with mom and dad.. lots of laughs, and relaxing time with them and alex. i left there in my brother's car to bring it back to chester, and he was going to come to my place tonight for a visit with alex and to have supper, and switch cars with me since he had been driving mine since thursday.. then.. mother nature decided to play the cards she's been hiding all winter.. the snow started the closer i got to halifax and by the time i hit the bedford highway, things were messy.. regardless of that, adam and i flipped my stuff out of his car and into mine for me to make the rest of the trip to chester, just in case he couldn't make it down because of the snow. as i drove down the kearney lake road about to hit the highway to go home, the brake line broke in my car. i lost my brakes, on already slippery roads, and did a 180 degree turn in 3 lanes of traffic.. with a baby in the backseat. talk about scary. so, i called adam back and he came to r...

here it is.. another boring post about my boring life. ;) things have been rough the last few days. alex is teething, therefore miserable. i'm down in the slumpy dumps because i never get to get away from things, and i literally almost had a mental breakdown on sunday. it was NOT a good day. yesterday we took alex out for a romp in the snow for the first time. let's just say, it lasted about 4 minutes before he started to freak out. other than that, things are the same as always. if anyone has any ideas how to get me out of this slump, bring 'em on! i'm all ears.
