getting in the spirit!

whew.. it's been a whirlwind few days! time to start getting ready for the holidays! i just have to say, i have the best hubby EVER.

thursday night, i took off by myself and headed to bridgewater. alex has been asking for a bounce back racer for Christmas, and it's not an easy toy to get your fingers on. i've been told it's like the equivelant of what cabbage patch kid dolls were back in the day when i was a little girl! anyway, i got one! yay! it was a great way to start my shopping.

saturday we both had to work, but only until 3 pm. we left work, dashed home, grabbed alex and drove out to meet some friends who have a couple of boys that alex LOVES to pieces. the 7 of us then headed to new minas, for more Christmas shopping and the Santa Claus parade. the boys had a great time, and played hard together. we got home around 10 last night... expecting to have a quiet day around the house today, getting ready to put decorations up outside and doing some housework. ONLY then...

our friends called to see how alex made out on the trip home last night, and all of a sudden, the 7 of us were making plans again! the dads volunteered to tackle kid-duty for the day and let us mommas go Christmas shopping again! today, i scored the train set that alex has been asking for over and over again! christine & i spent the day shopping, and wrapped it up with chinese take out.

it was a WONDERFUL weekend.

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.
