FOR SALE!

Today is a big happy/sad day for me! The FOR SALE sign went up on our front lawn today. As happy as I am to be going "home" to Ontario, we have made Nova Scotia "home" for the past three years and am sad to leave. So many wonderful memories were made here...our first home, where our children were born...and the people are just so friendly!



BUT we are ecstatic to be closer to family and friends (and shopping, restaurants, etc.) I am dreading having to keep the house "show" clean for God knows how long?!? Hopefully it sells quickly! We haven't received our official posting message yet so the house is up "conditionally" until then.


I can't imagine someone else living in the house WE built and designed! Don't really want to imagine it! Argh! I hate change!!!!

Happy Day!

Today was just a happy day!
*Woke up from a great nights sleep...no babies yelling for me at 3 in the morning now that everyone is healthy!
*had time to pick up Tim Horton's hot chocolate (thanks Mary for getting me hooked) and muffin on my way to work;
*had a wonderful morning with my class;
*ate McDonald's for lunch (yum!);
*had a super afternoon working with my friend and Math Mentor Jill;
*had fun chats with Donna after work;
*went out for supper with the family to Pasta Jax;
*found out my friend Kelly won the Director's Award. (the highest honour given within my old School Board) YAY! RED! lol!
Just an all around happy day! And it's Steve's birthday too! Fun Fun Fun!

On The Mend...

We're all better!!! Well, Michael and Abbey still have a little bit of a runny nose and cough but we are 98% there! Crazy how having sick kids can turn everything upside down?!? Lack of sleep is killer too!! I must admit that I loved all the extra cuddles and how they only wanted "Maman" to soothe them back to sleep at night. I know Steve liked that part too! lol!

Just finished watching Gwen Stefani on American Idol...my good God she's cool... and she's a Mom! If they don't vote that Sanjaya kid off soon I swear I'll tune out. It's Blake all the way! How pathetic! I sound like I don't have a life! (I'm a Mom of twins...so I really don't!!!)

Today...

Another day, another trip to the hospital! FOR THE LOVE!!! Now Michael is on a antibiotic for an ear infection too. I swear our family is being taken over by germs! Yuck!!! I got myself checked out again and sadly, they still said that what I had was viral so unfortunately... no drugs! Sucks to be me! Just put Abbey and Michael down for the night after a nice warm bath (amazing the stuff that you can get out of their noses when in the tub...disgusting!!!!)
Steve and I are done all the "chores" and we will soon settle in for Amazing Race although it won't be half as good now that Rob and Amber are kicked off. They are so fun to watch!
Here's hoping this week is a little better...it couldn't possibly get any worse!?!

Time for a Dip...

Abbey and I were sitting on the front porch this afternoon...first time out basically since we got back from Florida. It was a beautiful Spring day so we thought we'd try to "get the sick out" and head out for a family walk. Anyway, while Steve and Michael got the Schwinn stroller ready, Abbey and I were chatting away. First she says "neige partie maman" (snow all gone), then "grand-maman, grand-papa partie, (self-explanatory) and then "piscine Abbey saute splash partie" (she misses jumping in the pool in Florida). You've got to wonder what goes through their minds eh?!? First hot weather, then cold again, grand-parents coming and going...so confusing I'm sure. Here's a picture of Abbey and Michael getting ready for an afternoon dip in Florida. I am already anxious for next year!

3 In A Bed!

There were three in the bed and the "big" one said...roll over I'm crowded!!! Who knew that such little people could take up so much space in a bed. It's 3:59 and I'm STILL awake! Argh! All three of us are in the spare bedroom bed and only two of us are getting sleep! Guess which two?!?

Okay enough is enough I'm going to attempt the transition back to their beds right now...I want to go back to sleeping with my 6'6 husband who takes WAY less space in a bed then my little Abigail!!!

On a different note..wasn't Grey's Anatomy great! Man I love that show! Poor poor George!

Happy Thoughts!

Enough with the downer blog entries! I need to write something happy! Here's a picture that says a thousand words. Steve, Abbey and Michael playing in the ocean! What a fantastic trip!

I'm just coming home from my Parent Teacher meetings. I've now totally lost my voice but I'm getting a supply teacher for tomorrow to catch up on sleep and hopefully kick this nasty bug. See I'm trying to think positive lol!

Michael and Abbey are still not feeling great either but I'm sure that whatever they have will soon have run it's course. Here's hoping anyway! I'll keep you posted!
