My shadow
Wherever I go, whatever I do, I can usually look down and see this...
He makes me smile. Wouldn't you?
Positive thinking (top 10 good things list)
1. It was amusing this morning as I was packing Patrick's lunch. Damon and Campbell hatched up a plan. They are going to use Damon's birthday money to buy a TV for their room. Oh, no, they are going to wait until after Campbell's birthday and use both of their money to buy a BIG SCREEN TV. Hey, Patrick, can the air hockey table go in your room? We are making room for a big screen TV. tee hee I told them that was a great idea as long as they cleaned their room first and then they would need to promise that they would sleep in their beds every night. This will NOT happen.
2. It is sunny today.
3. I managed to keep Puck from eating the bottle of Advil that I spilled on the floor.
4. Oxi-clean. The mould stains finally came out of Patrick's hockey jerseys after the third day of soaking in Oxi-clean.
5. I bought myself flowers for the table. Pretty pale yellow tulips with a ruffled edge.
6. I managed to get Patrick to school on time. Of course this came with a price, I let Damon stay home.
7. As we walked into the grocery store, Damon says "Hey, I haven't been grocery shopping in YEARS." DUH, there's a reason for that. LOL
8. Coke. Yep, I'm back on it. That sweet brown nectar. ahhhhhh. I know, I'll quit, but I might need to wait until my kids are 18. I felt so sick and tired without it. I also gained weight because I was always hungry. I never snack when I can have a can of coke instead.
9. Chocolate.
10. Online friends who "get it". :-D

Things I hate about my Flatmate
Things I hate about my Flatmate I found this site amusing, but familiar. Except my "flatmates" do this and worse to me 5-fold.
Just in case the bathtub full of glass wasn't enough
My children are so thoughtful. They like to keep my life interesting.
Matt got up early this morning to catch a flight to Ottawa. When he was getting ready, a picture fell off of the bathroom wall and smashed in the bathtub. He was in a rush, I was still in bed, so he told me about it and closed the bathroom door so that Kira didn't get to it before I did. So I knew that after I drove the boys to school and did my groceries I would need to do something about it. I get some bags and a box to put it in and walk into the bathroom. It smells like urine. I look down and there is pee everywhere. Pee on the floor, pee on the toilet, pee on the seat, pee on the wall, pee all over the step on garbage.
So I wiped and cleaned every surface in the bathroom, just to be sure. Not an easy task with a 13 month old and a puppy following me and getting into the toilet paper.
ahhh clean
and safe for tonight's baths!
The last people in there were Damon and Campbell, and I already know what they are going to say.
At least I haven't had time to notice how sick I feel until now. (throat hurts, dizzy head, watery eyes, nasty cough)
We are bracing for a storm here, so I am guessing that Matt isn't going to be able to fly home tonight.
Doesn't that make you feel a bit better about your Monday?
