So....tired...

Stayed up too late washing and irradicating the bugs. We've called my mom and told her we won't be coming up until early on Saturday morning. I just can't face getting the house ready and the bags packed in time for going to bed, going to work and then immediately hopping in the car. Will get some sleep and be ready to celebrate with family. Dad and J have a trip planned to their favourite restaurant supply store in Peterborough. New pans for my Honey! I'm just going to be happy that I will see my nephew/brother/sister-in-law.

Anyway, don't know if I will be blogging again before the holiday black-out...my parents only have dial-up, you wouldn't be sick enough to expect me to deal with that!?! Happy holidays to you all!

*Scratch, scratch, scratch*

I'm in hell. I got a call from my daycare provider at about 2:15pm. The Boy has HEAD LICE! I want to shrivel up in a ball of shame. I know we keep our house clean, and I know that we bathe the boy regularly, therefore our heads should be free of bugs. NOPE!!! Damn it all to hell. Right before we go away for the holiday too. Do you think this could have happned before the biggest picture taking event of the year besides the boy's birthday!?! Nope.

Right after I got the Boy home from daycare he was asleep in the car seat. I took the opportunity to search his head myself. Damned if I didn't find 2 little black bugs. Squished them between my fingers. They had been feeding on my sons little head because I got some lovely bloody spurts. Anyway, he woke up at that point so I dragged him and and gave him to J so I could go to the drug store and buy the de-lice-er shampoo. The next hour after that was my son transforming into satan embodied as we shaved his little head, stripped him and I down, got us in the tub where I held him still while J rubbed the shampoo into him. The stuff has to stay on for 10 minutes so I kept him as still as possible. About halfway through he just gave up and rested his head on my shoulder, saying in a sad little voice, "Mommy, out!". We rinsed him off and then the joy of having my husband check me for bugs. Am all clear thank you.

I'm now in the hell of vacuuming, washing or tumbling in the drying anything that could have been in contact with my sons head. I'm about half way through my evening and I have a container of Caramel Cone Explosion Haagen Daz waiting for me when I'm done. Who says ice cream can't make the world better...

Ciao for now.

Snowsnowsnowsnow...

Friday was a fun drive! After getting up a half hour early, going outside into the thigh deep snow outside my door, then nearly giving myself a coronary shovelling out the driveway, I put-putted down my lane and off to work. This pissed my neighbor off considerable since he had tried to get out of his driveway 20 minutes before I left and was still stuck in the road after I plowed away!!! J giggled his ass off watching him in his pick up, watch me drive away! I LOVE my Neon! This is the picture of me stuck in front of my daycare provider's house. We got about 30 feet from the door before the car wouldn't go any further, so I said the hell with it. I loaded the boy over my shoulder like a sack of stinky potatos and waded to the door. Funnily enough she thought that I was stuck for good and called her boys out to shovel me out. I hit the pedal, reefed the wheel back and forth several times and made it to my original tracks and got out! The snow was so deep on the roads it was shearing over the hood and up my windsheild and I still got to work!

The weekend was fine. Saturday night we were all supposed to go to an open house in the Market, but J had a massive nose bleed about 45 mintues before we were leaving. He was bleeding so badly I was about to get the car to take him to the hospital, but it tapered off. There was so much blood in his sinuses it was leaking out the other nostril! Say it with me now...EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Anyway, I insisted J and the boy stay home...so off I went for a lovely evening with Mel and Maria and their friends. It's Mel and I on the couch and Pat working the camera. By the way, that's not tea in that mug! Can't have him looking like the innocent out of the two pics! :)














Sunday, was lying around the house recovering from Saturday night. Did some baking with the boy, see the family blog for those of you who know where it is, and lots of laundry.

4 days until we leave for my Mom and Dad's for Xmas! Can't wait to see the boy's face when he sees the air hockey table!!!

Happy Holidays!

Doo dee doo dee dooooo...

Yeah, so there hasn't been that much going on since the car thing. Am back at work, J is feeling better, the boy is back at daycare.

It's colder then heck out here. I have discovered why the windows in my house need replacing. Friggin' cold is seeping in everywhere. Other then that I love my house. It's nice to have a wee yard to do snow angels, a wee hill in the front to slide down on the saucer.

Christmas is coming. I'm having all sorts of revelations about the holiday that celebrates how much credit you can burn for presents. I like the holiday...but am not so hot on the whole Jesus stuff. I was listening to my Nat King Cole carole CD and thought to myself, "Wow, is there ever alot about Christ in these songs!", and then I remembered the whole point about why the day was created. I mean how disconnnected from all that is spiritual do I have to be for me to forget that Xmas is J.C.'s B-day!?! It's making me think alot about what I'm going to teach the boy when he is older. Does that mean that I have come to any decisions? NO! Just makes me sure that I don't want to raise him in the church. But, I don't want to raise him ignorant about the other religions there are out there. I LOVE the word floating around now, "CHRISMAKKAH"!

Anyway, so tired. Must go to bed and sleep tonight. J and I stayed up late fighting and playing so I was exhausted today. Who knew pinchy fights could be so fun!

Peace out, yo Mamma, and all that jazz,

Kay

We wish you a merry BLERGmas...

I thought I was having a really great day. I got up this morning and got the boy dressed and sent him out the door to daycare with Daddy. Daddy had an eye appointment so I got to stay home instead of driving the boy in and then driving back home to dive into bed to get better. Surprisingly, I didn’t go back to bed today. I got the disgusting kitchen sparkling, vacummed and mopped the whole house, tidied the whole house, and did four loads of laundry. This is on top of shoveling the driveway after J and the boy left. I’m feeling much better then yesterday except for the fact that I’m having issues catching my breath. I’ll be mid sentence and have to stop and take a couple deep breaths to chase away the “Dizzies”. ANYWAY, Marshy and I had to go to Toy’s R Us tonight to pick up some Thomas the Tank engine stuff for our boys for Xmas so we set off at about 4:30. We got to the St. Laurent Shopping Center and got to it. We walked out the doors at about 7:30…to find that the battery in the car was DEAD. Bless CAA and their wonderful service, they had a guy to the car in 20 minutes. He gave my car a boost so off Marshy and I went to the Canadian Tire in Kanata to get a new battery. Turns out that not only is my battery dead, so is the alternator and we are stuck in Kanata with no way home. Luckily one of the mechanics took customer service to the next level and drove Marshy and I home. Marshy will drive us back in tomorrow to pick up the fixed Neon and to pay the $450 bill. BLERG! Merry #%*@! Christmas! Why do these things happen at inopportune times?

Oh well, the only thing that I’m truly thankful about is that it happened to Marshy and I and not when it was the boy and I on our way into work.

Ciao for now,

Kay

Still Schick...

I have lost most of this week due to a nasty cold that turned into a sinus/chest infection. I went to the clinic this morning and got myself a perscription so I should be on the mend by Saturday. J and The Boy are both feeling mostly like normal.

I'm having such a sweet craving right now! J has promised me chocolate chip brownies to help me out. YAY!!! My Sweetie is well again so he is cooking again!!!

Anyway, must go back to bed.

blog ya later!

We're Schick! :(

So this past week has been hell. Monkey was diagnosed with Bronchitus on Tuesday and was home ever since. I had to take two days off because J was sick with his "cold" so badly he wasn't up to taking care of the boy. He had him for 1 and a half days after that before I had to come home Friday afternoon to take care of them again. I tried to get the giant butthead to the Dr. on Thursday night but the place was packed. I didn't want to spend upwards of two hours sitting so we went home. I finally kicked him out of bed and into the car on Saturday morning. Shock of shocks...he has bronchitus too. And here is the best part. I'm starting to get sick now too. ARG! My ears are all under pressure and the nose is running with a tickly throat. *SIGH*

The only good news it that The Boy has been on his antibiotics since Tuesday so he is more the on the mend. He will be at daycare on Monday so I won't have to come home to take care of everyone again. Whether or not I'm going to have to come home because I'm sick is going to be another story.

We all went to see the CPR Holiday Train last night! Pretty fun for The Boy. BIG CHOO CHOO!!!! The Moffats' sucked balls, and Wayne Rondstadt sang "Christmas in the Valley". All in all not the brightest thing to do to J, considering he had just been taking his perscription since that morning....Oh well! :) At least we all went out as a family and did one of the Christmas things that was on this weekend.

I had a massage booked yesterday that rocked my world! FULL BODY RUB DOWN!!! Felt OH SO GOOD! :)

Anyway, must go. The boy is screaming to use the computer to play Elmo.

Ciao for now!

What the Hell!?!

ELF

You are an elf. An elf is like a
human but much fairer and pure. Elves are
usually tall, with pointed ears, and resemble
humans very closely, but elves are usually much
more beautiful. Elves are a distant race. They
prefer to keep to themselves, because often,
many of them feel that their race is superior
to humans. Elves symbolize wisdom, prudence,
love, and hope. They are very merry and happy.
They are forever young and delight in music.
They are natural artists as well.

Update galore!

Okay, quite a bit has happened in the last couple of weeks, which is why I haven’t been posting, too busy to sit down. Here goes:

The Boy had his birthday last weekend. Small party with my Mom, Dad, Aunt Peg, and Kate that was great! Made a cake, had the presents, and the best part was we did it at lunch time so just did sandwiches and salad. Very simple and the boy had a blast.

The boy and my J are both sick. I had to take two days off to take care of the boy with bronchitis because J was too sick himself to take care of him and work at the same time. I took our monster to his Dr. on Tuesday, got his prescription, have him on his puffer twice a day, and motrin for his fever. Anyway, he is back to eating today so I’m guessing he is on the mend. J on the other hand is going to the Dr. tonight if I have to hog tie him and throw him out of a moving vehicle in front of the emergency room.

I have a massage booked at The Spa on Saturday. I checked my insurance and I have something like $200 left to be used up by the end of December for Massage Therapy. I’m going to be one relaxed Mommy!

We picked up an air hockey table for the boy for Xmas! His eyes are going to pop out of his head! He played with one while he was in NB so we figured it would be a great “WOW factor” present.

I went to Lone Star’s last night with the Boy’s daycare provider and all the other Moms that have children with her. Lots of fun and salsa was had by all.

We are going to be going to Mom and Dad’s for Xmas. Can’t wait to see My brother’s little boy!

Anyway, ciao for now.
