Okay... it wasn't a poop thing...

Lets just say that, after...

1 trip to the doctors
A referral to the ER

An 1.5 hour ultrasound

Many different doctors and specialists

6 hours of waiting
Plenty of tears

And one trip to the OR later...

We are home and recovering... not going to go into too much detail... but Owen had some trouble with his boys and constipation was the furthest thing from what was actually happening. We're good now though... :)

Am I a bad Mom if I can't tell you the last time he pooped?

Yeah... what a headline eh?! My little, but big kid was sent home today with belly issues. This morning he told me that his belly hurt, but told me it was his jeans and when I loosened them, he said that everything was alright... so away we went. But with the poop thing... he likes his privacy and tells me when he goes... I just forgot :(

Well, I got a call from the daycare, saying that he had been complaining about it all day and wasn't really participating much, so away I went, to go and pick the little pooper up. Fast forward to this evening... plenty of water, applesauce, prune juice and peg powder and still nothing. I told him, that he can stay home tomorrow, but that he must go!

A rainy Sunday...

We managed to get out this morning to grab groceries before the rain started too heavy, but since then, we've been in the house. We did try to make the most of it with movies and some laundry though... and of course some pictures :)

A few days all wrapped into one...

We've been busy little bees around here so I haven't had a chance to post... but I was able to take pictures for all them, so I'll try and remember as much as I can :)

Not much happened today... quiet day for me... kiddies went off to school and I SLEPT!! Was exhausted for some reason... but it was a nice day to myself. Not much for pictures... but I learned a new thing on my camera... how to change it to B&W... lol... how awesome is that!!

Friday March 26, 2010

Quiet night in again... but well spent. I spend the majority of the morning at the gym getting my butt kicked so decided to kick it low key for the evening! While I was out, I bought everything to make banana bread with the kids and we managed to get together 6 loaves for us and Nana and Papa.. they enjoyed it, which was nice! I have also started eating healthier.. I want to have this weight gone... this year.... so I put together some nice salads, which look pretty plain, but are super tasty!


Saturday March 27, 2010

A day with the girls today... Mommy weekends... that's what being a mommy is all about right?! We chat and goosip and they PLAY!! That's exactly what happened here again today... usually on Sunday, but it was welcomed today and we'll enjoy some down time tomorrow before starting the week again.

Shelby is gone for the night, but me and Owen biked over to my parents place and I headed out with my mom and sister while Owen played with the girls. And then.... we headed home just in time for Earth Hour and enjoyed some quiet time inside and outside with the neighbours. Owen thought it was pretty neat and had plenty of questions and even taught me a thing or two :)

Happy Wednesday.... and a nice night for the park!

Quiet day around here... I did however make it out to get yet another gym membership. I hold one at the Y with the kids for swimming, but just haven't been able to get there on my own all that often... that place is boring when you are alone!! So... I joined Goodlife yet again this morning... I had a membership there a couple of years ago when I started school, but just got so busy and couldn't take advantage of it.... but I really need to now. I have 100 pounds to lose... and starting Friday, it will start to happen!

Another mild night, so we had some friends over for dinner and headed to the park again... nice having it just down the street... it's not the best park, but it is more that enough to run off a little energy after dinner!

Grilled Cheese..... and... boy cheese?!

Just another Tuesday around here...Grilled Cheese for dinner... Shelby comes up with the cutest things....

Me: "Grilled Cheese for dinner?"

Shelby: "Yes please..."
Owen: I just want a regular cheese."

Shelby: "That's cause you are boy, boys have boy cheese, only girls have girl cheese"

LOL... kids say the cutest things... reminds me why, after all the tantrums, that I love this age!!

Finally a minute...

Things have been crazy these past couple weeks to say the least, and my patience and faith in myself has been tesed more than once, but has helped me to figure out what it is I really want out of life and how to get there.

So... I finished my consolidation hours!! A whole 336 hours as of last Tuesday... whoo hoo... so I made fruit trays and brownies with cute tags for the girls to show them my thanks (the weather was crappy out while we were out today so I couldn't get any pictures, so I'm going to add the brownie ones.. and some others if I find some). They enjoyed everything and although I was happy to be done my time there, I was sad to see it go as well... I loved what I did there and loved the people that I worked with. I just hope that I get the opportunity to go back sometime soon!!

Today I let the kids stay home and we ventured out for lunch downtown, which is always an adventure.. lol... and then went to the police station for my police check for my temporary licence and to drop off my evaluations for school.... I wil definitely be happy when I see the day when I am done paying for this and that and everything in between... it's been fun... but I'm BROKE!!

Another week gone....

Another great Sunday with great friends and time well spent outdoors on our bikes. We started the day with groceries as we always do on Sunday and carried through the afternoon with friends over and followed it up with a purse party at a friends place, where I bought a great looking green purse... I'm so happy with my purchase and look forward to using it soon!!

Whoa... fell off there for a while... but I'm BACK!!

Can't catch up tonight... I'll do that tomorrow... but I wanted to post a few pictures from tonight. Last couple weeks have been crazy... and I'll update later... but till then, here are a few pictures from a friends party tonight... penis seemed to be the word around there tonight :) Happy Birthday Patty!!

Days falling away like fluff through the sky....

I can't even begin to remember all that has transpired since last Wednesday, but I know that I did...

1. Wrote a 6 hour comp exam...

2. Attend a pinning ceremony, for which I have mixed feelings about..

3. Received results from test.... I passed!

4. Drove 8 hours to Sudbury
5. Saw my lovely other half and spent some quality time with him and the kids

6. Spent way too much and enjoyed an afternoon at Science North

7. Enjoyed dinner with Shane and the kids, for the last time till who knows when :(

8. Drove 6 hours back home.... the.next.day!
9. Paid another $300 for ANOTHER comp exam... lol..

And I'm now dealing with one little girl who thinks that the world is hers for the taking. She started this week with the crying at daycare... thought Monday she was just off because we had such a crazy few days over the weekend... but it continued again today... so I think that reality is just settling in and she has realized that she is staying here at this center now, and that things have changed... and that she won't be able to rely on Owen for everything.... :( And she is now disregarding everything I have to say and pushing all the limits... I'm not sure where to go with her, but it is something that we will definitely be working on over the next few days...
