finally.. some sun!

-
the rain that's been persisting for weeks (someone, tell me, when did i move to seattle??!), has moved out for the weekend and left behind a beautiful, sunshiny saturday!  and, instead of being on the beach, or doing something fun with my boys outside, i'm playing nursemaid to my #1 son who has caught a summer cold.  so, it's a day of OJ, chicken soup, DS & movies for him today.

however much it sucks that i'm not outside enjoying the day, tonight when hubs gets home from work, i'm strapping on the ipod and going for a kid free walk.  i can't even begin to tell you how excited i am about that prospect.  it also means i can get caught up on some much needed housework.  for anyone who knows me, you all know how crazy i'm getting living without the laundry done every day, floors done, and bathrooms clean.  LOL!

i've also started getting back to basics on the weight loss thing.  journalling, meal planning & trying to squeeze in exercise whenever i can.  my sister in law turned me on to a great website to help with journalling & exercise tracking.  so far, it's super helpful, and you can use it as a web service or an iphone app.

we'll see what happens at WI on thursday night.

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.
