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!

Kay

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,

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!

Kay

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.

Kay

Ps – LOVEMYHOUSELOVEMYHOUSELOVEMYHOUSELOVEMYHOUSE!

Novemberfest Party...

Work party, Congress Centre, lots of wine...so...drunk...Had a blast, got to dance my wedding song with my Sweetie. Gonna sleep like a pile of stink now.

Venti Chai Eggnog Latte

OH MY GOD!!! I miss Angerah! I was having such an “I miss you” moment, MyFriendAngerah. I went to Starbucks today and got an Eggnog CHAI Latte! Soooo kicked my ass. Then as I was walking toward my car, it’s snowing on me and it made me think of the first time I had chai, with Angerah, during my vacation in New Brunswick. I miss my friend. :(

Anyway, the mental health day really helped. I stayed in my Pj’s until about 9:30, played a game of Age of Mythology, and pretty much acted like a slug. I had a shower, cleaned up the kitchen, got to the DMV and updated my address on my licence, went onto Main St. Almonte and shopped. Came home, made a poison sandwich for J (He is half ill and I didn’t know it so the hot peppers and horseradish gave him much pain.), went into Wal-mart and got myself new earrings, took the car to Mr. Lube for an oil change, picked up computer parts for J, picked up my kid and went home. It’s really snowing hard here so I had a blast showing the Boy how to use the crazy carpet on our hill!



Must go eat some dinner. I’m going to go to the library tonight and get my card set up. I’ve lived here for 4 years and still don’t have a library card here.

Ciao for now.

I miss the sun...

I have been feeling so depressed the past two days. It's like an extra 20 pounds was added to a bag across my shoulders, I look in the mirror and I see the 20 on my hips, I try to get work done and the effort is so immense...I just want to go to bed for a week. I'm taking Thursday off work to have a recharge day. Am going to hang around in my PJ's and watch movies in the recliner. No cleaning, no laundry...well...maybe a little laundry. ANYWAY, it's going to be a day to just chill in my house. Mornings have been a bitch. I've been running late both mornings now, J is annoyed at me 'cause then I force him out of bed early to help me get the boy ready to go, I get to work feeling totally stressed before I even start dealing with customers. BLARG!!!!

I'm guessing everyone feels like this during daylight savings time. The lack of sunlight draining all ambition to do anything from your body.

Ever since J discovered his foodie blog he has been unstoppable. I've been getting amazing meals every night whether I want them or not! LOVE IT!!! I got an amazing soup for dinner. Scrum-diddly-umtious!

Must go. Am going to tuck myself either into bed or my hobbyroom chair. Time for some me time.

Blog ya later!

FAB Weekend!

What a great weekend! T&L came up for the weekend. J took the opportunity to “Chef-it-up” the entire time. He had snacks ready when they arrived, gourmet breakfast lunch and dinner. He is blogging now with me at: http://jasonpollock.net/blog

His is just for showing his foodie leanings. Lots of pictures of what he makes, most of them pics he took, some stolen from the net.

L and I went shopping for about 5 hours on Saturday. We both got outfits for our company parties and L even got a major deal on her stuff. T stayed home with J and the boy. A lot of Xbox happened and playing with our monster.

This week is going to go by quickly. J and I have a babysitter booked for Saturday night and my company’s Xmas party. I have a pretty new dress, a hair appointment, and my Sweetie is going to be wearing a suit and tie!!! HOLY COW! We are going to get a few dances in too!!! YIPPEE!!!!! I love nights out with my Sweetie!

Ciao for now!

Kay

YAY ME!!!!

I lost 1.5 lbs this week! I missed getting my 40 lbs lost star by half a pound. Oh well, will get it next week. My weight is now officially in the 140’s. LOVE IT!

I lost last night completely. I was drugged again for when they put the new bridge in my mouth. I got home, stripped down, fell into bed and was out for 12 hours. I feel VERY good today! Anyway, must go and get ready for T&L who are coming up for the weekend. Should be fun!

Kay

WAAAAAAH!!!!! :(

I just got off the treadmill. My knee just blew, or popped, or tore, or it just hurts! STUPID! I shouldn't have run tonight. It would be my third night in a row and I have not been doing that much all at once in a while. I should have worked up to it gradually and now that I ignored my common sense I'm going to be stuck just walking. CRAP!!! I want to get my 40 lbs lost star this week! :(

Anyway, will let you know how I do at weigh in on Friday.

TTFN

1, 2, 3, 4....

MAJOR breakthrough this evening with the boy! He has this thing about counting. He will touch each part of the picture and very seriously say, "Two, nine, two, nine..." and so on. Tonight I got him to say, "On, two, free, oh-ah"!!! YAAAAY! I taught my baby math...God help him.

Did anyone else watch Gray's Anatomy tonight? ROCKED!!! I don't know why but I'm rooting for Alex to pass his test now. They are so going to leave it as a season finale cliff hanger, but I'm still hooked.

J is sick...and grumpy...but still my handsome Sweetie! :) I love you even though you are Grum-Blor right now Honey! :D I'm going to go make you a cup of tea to make you feel better now.

Good night my public...all three of you!

Halloween and Meringues...

This is my monkey at Halloween! He did great, was pulling on my hand and saying, "Mommy, AIGHT!" to get me to rush to the next house with lights. He knew those were the houses with the candy. We got the cool knight costume from Wal-mart for $14! I am such a Walmart mom!

I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I CAN BAKE *Dora the explorer, "The Map Song"*

I had a success after the third attempt at making meringues. They are weight watcher friendly but a real pain to make. The bowl and beaters go in the freezer, the egg whites have to be room temperature, you add the sugar one tablespoon at a time...its hard, but I did it!!! The batch I made I added cocoa powder and almond extract, yummy!

This weekend has been going great. J and I had a snuggle last night in front of a basketball game, I went down to the market today with KC to approve Kenny's engagement ring, got a new Eddie Bauer shirt that was on major clearance sale for $11, and now my Sweetie is in the next room making homemade spaghetti sauce for dinner! I also cleaned the house this morning and got two loads of laundry done. I ROCK!!! Tomorrow there is going to be a ton of loafing and playing with the boy. Acutally we had a good time this afternoon with him. We took him to the park and let him run around on the slides and jungle gym. He is now saying new words everyday. The latest include, "bumble bee", *"pick", "vroom", and "milk".

Anyway, gotta go fold some of the aforementioned laundry.

Caio for now!

Kay

* "Pick" comes from every time he goes pee-pee on the potty he gets to "pick" a piece of candy from his Halloween stash. He has been driving J and I batshit by peeing every ten minutes and acting like its the best day of his life then expecting candy. We have had to deny him a couple time due to lack of quantity. Three drops doth not merit reward! :)

YAY ME!!!!

I weighed in today. LOST 3 POUNDS!!! Am at my lowest yet at 38 lbs gone! WOOT!!! I’m starting to get serious about getting to my goal weight before my year anniversary of joining weight watchers. It’s within my grasp! BWA HA HA HA!!!!

14 to go....

DOO dee DOO dee DOO!!!

Another week has come and gone. I have had a few bumps in the road. I lost yesterday completely. I was sedated for my dentist appointment to keep me calm while they froze me up. This of course meant that I dozed in the car on the way home, J had to drive me, and then didn’t wake up until dinner time. I still feel like crap today.

We are having some success with potty training the boy! After I was at work I got a message from J telling me that The Boy had come running in to the office shouting, “PEE PEE DADDY!!! PEE PEE!!!”. He grabbed J by the hand and took him to the bathroom to show him that he had stripped down and gone on his own in the potty! SO PROUD OF HIM!!! Of course he has the incentive that he gets a piece of Halloween candy every time he does it.

Halloween was really fun! The Boy was a medieval knight! Complete with chain mail hood and coat of arms! He really got into trick or treating this year. He was pulling on my hand trying to get me to faster to the next house. Can’t wait for next year!

Anyway, this should be a calm weekend. Nobody coming over, no plans to be had.
