Monday

Looking at my pantry (trying to figure out what's for dinner) I realized that Mondays are grocery shopping days for us out of necessity. We've eaten all of last week's food, ate out on Saturday & now are in desperate need. I do think I can make some cheesy potato corn chowder. Mmmmmm...

Today was good though.
I figured out how to finish that layout (now it's completely done & I like it. Whew)
I played a bit of WoW & helped LV build a cool train track with his geo trax (It has 3 stories & covers the toy room floor. Coolness.)
And now I'm off to make soup & send Vern a list of groceries to pick up on his way home.

Happy Monday!

Last...

This one's easy enough. I'm tagging anyone who reads this, just please post & let me know so I can see your answers too!

The last thing you bought: Um, diapers yesterday. Exciting, I know.

The last crush you had: Um, besides Toby & Will? Well, I guess I still have a crush on Vern. lol. :)

The last restaurant you ate at: Um, does yesterdays big fruit & walnut salad count? If so, McD's.

The last movie you saw: Mr. Deeds.

The last time you cried: Yesterday.

The last song you sang out loud: You're Beautiful by James Blunt. Love it.

The last person you kissed: Elijah.

The last layout you scrapped (or any craft/creation):
This is for a friend's *Guilty Pleasures* CJ. But it's missing something so I don't know if it counts since I haven't declared it absolutely finito. Hmmmm... And I like it much better irl.


The last picture you took: See above. And it's crappy icky light in here tonight that I'm too tired to fix so BW it went. Besides, that leaves a little bit of a surprise if she sees this. :-P

The last thing you ate: An omelette that Brandon made me for dinner. Yum.

The last person you spoke with on the phone: Vern.

The last thing you want to do before today is over: Brush my teeth.

Silly Babes & Spoons

Oh my goodness, I finally thought to take some pictures of the cute face Elijah makes when we feed him. He bites his spoon so that it tilts up & squishes his little nose. Every bite. Even when he plays with his spoon after eating, he'll hold it in his mouth & jabber away. Of course, when I decided to grab my camera he was more interested in the buttons than he was in his spoon or eating, but I think I we sort of got some pics of the face we love.

Elijah & the spoon...

I think this little guy is going to rival his big brothers in the silly department. lol That's a face that'd make Uncle Brian proud. :)

Today

Today Little Vern showed me his secret money stash (37 pennies) and told me he wanted to take me on a date to McDonalds. I'm hoping Vern will help us out when I tell him about it tonight so I can take him up on it at lunchtime tomorrow.

Today was a PJ day. Including my pink fuzzy slippers that kept my feet warm.

Today I thought of Vivian and that Chinese restaurant her & I used to go to on Finch Ave. in TO that had those amazing rice noodles with beef. I'd give anything for a lunch out with Vivian, and even more if we could have those noodles. Mmmmmmm...

Today I'm making lasagna for dinner. And garlic bread. Yum.

Today Brandon came home from school and started working on his chores right away, without being asked.

Today this baby smiled at me and fell asleep all snuggled in my arms.

I swear, I'm the luckiest mommy in the world.

Today I feel a little better than I did yesterday.

I'd say today was a good sort of day.

A nap, a grape float & lentil soup.

A nap, followed by my yummy lunch has me in a better mood. Physically I feel about the same, but a better frame of mind will do a person wonders.

Besides, Brandon & kirsten will be home from school soon and Vern said he'd bring home some ginger ale and cough drops. Now all I need is a new book (ooooh, I have one in mind & should call Vern) and a bubble bath.

The day is looking up indeed. :)

Dang It. Dagnabbit. Darn.

So I was up all last night. I was trying to sleep, but couldn't. Why you ask? because my throat hurt soooooo dang much. Can you believe it? I had just barely declared myself un-sick. Looks like I did so just in time to be sick again. Unbelievable.

So, I chugged some Nyquil (don't have the daytime version) and am waiting for Elijah to be ready for his nap so we can sleep & try to get better together. At least I hope I can sleep - it still hurts.

I think I'm ready for Spring now. Bring on the Easter chocolate and flowy flowered dresses. Anything but the cold & the sickies.

Some days...

Some days adulthood really just feels like high school all over again.

Some days my smiles come from the most unexpected sources.

Some days I see more of myself in my kids then I care to admit.

Some days I will admit that I have the energy & time to do it, but just don't want to.

Some days I have my priorities right.

Some days are good days because we decided they would be.

This is one of those days.
