Friday blurb

Good Friday evening to all my readers. Yes I'm so lively I am sitting at home on a Friday night updating my blog! Watch out, I'm a wild one! Today was an action packed day. But before I go into that I have to say my right hand is hurting sooo much. Can you believe it, a cooking injury! And it's not even a cool story therefore making it blog worthy. Yeah I can't find the logic there either. Anyways my can opener(yes I use a manual can opener) decided that it wasn't going to work anymore as I was part way done, too late to turn back now. So I did the logical thing, I switched to my I already know it's so broken can opener that I haven't thrown out yet. Then I switched back to this other one thinking maybe I was just holding it wrong. Well I finally finished the job but not without consequence. I tweaked something in my hand and wrist and every now and then I get a very sharp pain and it's quite annoying. Not really worth mentioning but it came to my mind as I was typing and it began to really hurt. Back to telling you about my day. I woke up way too much through the night. I don't know why but Kiwi decided he wanted to be up more than 3 times and then wake up early. Oh well, parenthood at it's best right? Then we got ready for the day and headed to go and see B's Grandma. She is so super cute. She was telling me how her and her hubby had met and then said, at least I thinks that's how. haha. I couldn't tell her any differently cause I don't know. It sounded nice though :) Kiwi is such a ham when we go there. He loves the attention that he gets from basically everyone. We joked today that he was flirting with all the ladies and trying to pick them up. Good visit overall. When we got home Kiwi was hungry and soooo tired. So he ate and then went to sleep for a 2 hour nap. This is a new thing he's been doing for almost a week now. Sleeping for 2 hours. It throws me off because I'm use to getting up to half an hour (and that's if I'm lucky) so this new 2 hour thing is HUGE! But I never plan properly and feel like I waste that time. Like today, I should have had a nap at the same time. But didn't plan for a 2 hour stint. Oh well. I feel like if I assume it's going to be a 2 hour nap he'll change his pattern and then I'll feel like I jinxed it. After his nap we went swimming. The pool here has a $2 swim on Friday afternoons and children under 18months are free. So it's a cheap fun outing. Kiwi loved it! He loves to swim. Today I wouldn't be surprised if he was the happiest kid in the pool. A couple of our friends came and met us there and it was a lot of fun. I put in a load of laundry and now I'm so ready for bed and it's only 8pm. Tomorrow my mom comes to town. She'll be here for not quite a week. So I have decided to clean the house tomorrow because then it might actually stay clean for when she arrives. Ha! I still have to put the finishing touches on her Christmas gift. (Don't worry I didn't miss Christmas with her yet. It's on Sunday). Well I think that's all I got for you today. I hope you got enough to fill your bellies at "Table Discussion" Until next time, Michelle

Happy New Year 2013

Happy New Year! I know I have been MIA but let's just chalk it up to the holidays.  It was hectic!  I'm sure like every one else's.  It was fun though and lots of family.  We still have one more family Christmas to do next weekend and then the season is truly over for 2012 :)  My mom is coming to town. 

Kiwi had a great Christmas, got spoiled like crazy and had a wonderful first Christmas. He was at the stage that he was able to rip paper and loved it!  He sat in a box as happy as a clam and had way more fun with the packaging than the actual toy.  Check for a typical kid on first Christmas. 

He blows me away.  I think it's because I've worked with children who are behind as milestones go. So for me to watch this wee little person with abilities that some of these other children weren't able to do makes me really sad and aware of just how far behind those little tots were/are. 

I pray that I am able to get pregnant again.  I really pray that I won't have to go through the fertility treatment route again. But if I do so be it, just a preference. But Kiwi has really been asking me to get him a sibling.  I know this because he's showing me how grown up he is.  Today he started scooting around his play table.  Took 3 steps while holding on to it. Crazy!  Isn't that a little too young yet? He's just turned 7 months. I think it's too early.  And he's so proud of himself when he's able to pull himself up into a standing position (also while holding onto something). 

Did you have any new years resolutions?  I was going to but B said he doesn't agree/believe in having them so that kind of deflated my idea of having one. Although I had 2 ready to go (you know in case one failed I had another to back it up.) I was able to accomplish my resolution from last year, although I think it was kind of cheating because it was fool proof.  It was to gain weight for the first 6 months and then lose it for the last 6.  I was pregnant though so it was inevitable to work out.  

Well, I think that pretty much catches everyone up. Until next time (hopefully not so long) and I'm sorry my last post was so negative. I was upset about B's work hogging him and I took out my frustration on my blog.
