Bad day!

So today was not a good day! I didn't have a good night sleep, the kids were bratz on top, looked like it was going to be a long rainy day! So I decided to go shopping, went to Rockland at TMD! Love that store! Drove to Place d'Orleans after, ate at the food court and that's were it downfall, got Syd's food warmed up and the lady was sure it was still frozen, so I poped my finger in and OOOUUUUTTTCCCCHHH!!! Second degree burn! You guys should see my finger, I did not cry but let me tell you Josh kissed it lots of times!!! So after Josh went and played at the Miniport like always, ran everywhere had lots of fun! Shopped around for a bit and came back home, had supper at my mom & dad where Syd broke a vase, yes he did! On top, came back home, gave him a bath, let him play for a bit and took my Ralph Lauren glasses from Florida out of my bag and SCRATCH them everywhere on the floor! So has I'm writting this I am fighting the tears!!! So I will get a hold of myself and replay my day, tell myself I could of burn one of the kids, Syd could of cut himself with the vase and my glasses well I WANT THEM BACK!!!!! Mother's day is right around the corner so I hope I was a good mom this year and get some nice ones soon! : ( So tonight I will try to go to bed early so tomorrow is better!

Sleepy Monday

So this weekend was fun, Jules & Josh went fishing everyday, Syd was with mommy like always saying dada ??? I have to work on that! Did a little bit of homework! Syd drank his bottle while I was out on Saturday which is a big thing for me! He took it for his dad! I'm so proud! That means I can stop stressing over going to do my placement in May! Yesterday I slept til noon, what a GREAT boyfriend I have!!!



Today is very boring and I think it will be like that all week! I have to think of it as something positive, because it's my last week before it gets crazy so I will use this time to sleep and to cuddle with my babies before it gets ectic! For lunch I was making fresh crandberries, mixed with strawberries and apples for Syd, it smelled DELICIOUS! I was looking forward to see his face when he ate it actually! Until I turned around and saw that!!!!









I guess it didn't smell that good after all! : ) We'll see for supper!

Girls Night Out!

So today was a gorgeous day, they were calling for rain all day and some thunder showers and still big sun out and all! I was hoping on snoozing this afternoon before going out tonight but the sun was gorgeous and I did some homework instead. Jules went fishing with Josh and I went for Sydney's first bike ride! Lovely! Tonight me, Julie and Darquise are getting together, last time we went out together without the kids was probably a year and a half ago! Not to scare any of you out there who are pregnant! :P So I am looking forward of a nice evening with having anything or anyone to worry about...until Jules calls freaking out that is! So Julie is leaving for one month to go see her sister in Phoenix, Arizona and Darquise is leaving for 5 days to go to Vegas, so I am quite excited to go meet with the girls to chat, laugh and whatever! Have a good night!


GO HABS GO! :)

Thank god it's friday!

So tonight I am very tired, so this will be short and sweet! Enjoy! By the way this ain't no addition to the family!

Grey's Anatomy

So today was a long day! The kids were up very early, Josh was really excited about going to see his uncle Seb this morning! He woke up at 5h15 and was asking if it was time to go yet...unfortunetely it cut my sleep off! So we went to Ottawa, took care of business with Seb while Josh was playing UFC with Diesel and Lizzy (Seb's cats), I think Lizzy is traumatised by Josh, I mean she's hiding in the closet and still he goes and gets her out or he puts her in timeout!!! After that we went to pick up Daddy for a McDo drive-thru, Josh really wanted to go back to work with his dad but instead came back home and slept this afternoon! Tonight he went and played at school and went to Mart's farm! He LOVES the cows! Now that both of the boys are sleeping I will go enjoy Grey's Anatomy Season Premiere!!!! I love that show! That is if Jules lets me...with all the hockey games going on! And by the way we just had a stocker in my window knocking with a Montreal Canadian Jersey!!! I doubt it's my uncle! If he does come back I'll take a picture and post it...

Angelic Reading

So tonight I went for an Angelic Reading at Spa Eve in Casselman. I was not pretty sure what to expect and got really nervous as I sat in front of this women and had no idea what I was getting myself into! But it turns out it was pretty cool! She taught me all about our angels and why they are in our lives! She talked to me about me, my family, my brothers, my future! When she read me my cards she even talked about my grandpa...told me he was ok, that he loved me and that he was feeling free! The overall experience was very good, I do believe in angels and everything she told me kind of made sense! Now I feel relaxed and kind of happy I went! It made me think alot about life and about listening to those inner voices!

Have a good night...I'm off to watch all my shows!

Breastfeeding

Today I tried to be more aggressive with the weaning, I want to start my school placement at Cheo in 2 weeks and Sydney is still only breastfeeding. I don't really feel ready to stop, not even close, but if I want to be able to do my placement and go back to work, I have no choice! So today I nursed him this morning, then gave him some cow milk in a sippy cup for snack time (10h00), then sippy cup again at noon time and before his nap tried to offer him a bottle which he refused, because he is only taking very small sips with the sippy cup and then he snoozed for a good 2h30 in the afternoon, which gave me and Josh the time to wash the van!!! (Happy Earth Day...with all the water we used!) Then Syd woke up, tried the sippy cup again, went for a walk, came back tried the sippy cup again for supper but he was very angry at me...every time I would put the sippy cup close to his mouth he would just freak out...so for the later part of the afternoon until bedtime he was a little cranky! So I gave him his bath which he loves and then breastfed, he was a happy camper let me tell you! Fell asleep in no time and now is down for the night...that is until 12 or 1 and then around 5...we still have to work on that! I'm sure Jules won't be happy waking up to a baby looking for a boob once I'm at work!!! So if you guys have any advice on weaning off ...feel free! I want to try to keep breastfeeding as long as I can but I do need a backup!

Now I do have to tell you that Josh had a little meeting tonight with his school buddies...there was a little cutie which is the ONLY girl in his class! He still has to work on it...she is a really hard to get kind of girl!!! I'll keep you updated on that!

Spring Cleaning

Don't you like this time of the year when you can open your windows and smell the air and it's not to hot so you need to start the AC! I just love it! Today was absolutely gorgeous! I started to do my spring cleaning because my maternity leave is coming to an end and there is still lots of stuff to be done! So I did manage to clean Syd & Josh's room! Going through their clothes I managed to find a Montreal Canadian shirt for Josh and he was so psyched! Wow! He immediately took his shirt off to put it on! Hope you like the pics!

~GO HABS GO~

Where the bugs are?

Readers discretion is advised

Today I was reading Jules' Mens Health when I stopped on an interesting article that I would like to share with you guys! It's called Where the bugs are... I was quite grossed out actually!

1) Vacuum cleaner: 50% of the vacuum brushes containes fecal bacteria, including 13# with E.coli and all are packing mold, the solution is to spray the brush with a disinfectant after every use.

2) Grocery cart: the handles of almost two-thirds of shopping carts tested were contaminated with fecal bacteria. The carts had even more of these bacteria than the average public bathroom has. The solution is to swab the handle with a disinfectant wipe before grabbing hold and bag unpackaged items like fruits and vegetables before placing them in your fecal-matter carrier.

3) Your bed: More then 84% of beds in U.s. homes host dust mites. These microscopic critters live in your sheets and feed on your dead skin, and their fecal matter and corpses contribute to asthma and allergies. The solution is to not make your bed.

4) Lemon wedge in your drink: 70% of the lemon wedges smashed onto restaurant glasses contained disease-causing microbes. The solution is to ask the waiter a drink sans fruit!

5) Contact-lens case: they were found to be crawling with germs, the solution is to dump the used solution and thoroughly rinse your case in hot water and to replace the lens case every 3 months and buy a new bottle of solution every other month.

6) Your shower curtain: they found that vinyl shower curtains are microbe meccas, breeding potential pathogens. The solution is to hang a fabric shower curtain from the rod and to wash it in the hottest water the fabric can handle at least once a month.

So having said that, go buy yourselves some Lysol disinfectant wipes A.S.A.P. I know I will! :)

6 Years

So today we spend all day outside! It was a gorgeous day! This weekend 6 years ago I had my first date with Jules! It lasted 3 days and we have been together ever since! A house and 2 kids later... Tonight we were supposed to go on a date but I was so tired that we changed plans! Instead he's gone to watch the hockey game and the UFC fight at my brother's. What an anniversary! I made him feel bad because on his way out I told him "Happy Anniversary Babe!" but really once you have kids everything changes and I'm actually glad he's gone, I can go to bed early and catch up on my sleep! Having said that have a good night!

Speech Therapist

So today started off slow! Josh got up at 9:45am and I had to rush to get to the speech therapist. So no changes, she still thinks is articulation is not too good and that he should be talking better by now so she wants him to go for a 7 weeks therapy, once a week for one hour...like I only have that to do! But she told me that she would give me a recommandation letter for my ORL (Josh's ear doctor) to get his adnoids checked and possibly removed. She thinks that his ears and adnoids are a major part of the problem, which is good because it makes me feel better knowing that it's not a developmental problem but a medical problem...so we'll see.

We spend all afternoon outside enjoying this gorgeous sun and waiting for uncle Seb to come home, because he's at my parents for the weekend. We saw aunt Julie and Ty and now we are going over for some pizza & wings with mom, dad & Seb!!! So enjoy your nice sunny friday! We will be spending some family time outside!

Milestone

So today was a big day...it was Josh's first dentist appointment! He was really excited, he's been reading Finding Nemo forever now and was looking forward to go sit in that big chair and get braces! Ever since his uncle Sebas and his aunt Loulou got braces, he's been wanting to get some too! Everything went well, he wanted to go first and then he wanted to help the hygienist to do my teeth! So they told me he had a "cross bite", caused by him breathing through his mouth. Everybody that knows Josh knows that he snoores like a 60 years old man!!! She also told me that it could cause speech problems which would explain his articulation problem! Wow! So now he needs tubes and to get his adnoids out! So because of that "cross bite" he might one day need braces or a retainer. I was so discouraged, first appointment and they are already talking about expensive procedures!

We then went grocery shopping, I figured my mom was babysitting Syd, might as well get something done...so were cruising down the aisle when I get a call from my mom telling me Syd is up and won't take the bottle! I have been trying to introduce him to cow's milk, well Lactose Free Milk because of his intolerance to lactose, with me going back to work soon, I have to wean him off breastfeeding and it's hard because he's teething right now and needs to be close to mommy! So me and Josh came back home to see Syd, calling "MAMA"...how could you say no to that! I guess I will have to continue everyday to give him milk, he will eventually take it! The joy of being a mom and going back to work!


We then went for a walk and went to visit grandma S, Josh had a couple of cookies like always and then, this thing happened which complety had me speechless...he looked at my grandpa S picture and said I love you grandpa!!! My grandma was very emotional but at the same time I'm sure she was happy that Josh missed him and remembered him, he past away close to 5 months ago and he still remembers and sleep with his little horse from grandpa S everynight!

So now Josh is playing outside with daddy and I am taking care of Syd, who as a fever and he's feeling awful because of his teething, poor baby! That pretty much covers my day, just had a little bit of laundry to that and I'm calling it a night! We are going to see the speech therapy tomorrow and I am not looking forward to what she has to say....I will keep you posted!

My very own blog!

This is my first blog ever, I've been reading From The Desk Of Sara for quite a while now and decided to start my own blog for many reasons! First I'm on maternity leave right now and can only talk to my 3 years old and 9 months old and I seem to have lots on my mind these days! For all of you who have a child starting school in September you have to agree with me that it's quite nerve wracking. Second of all I have to go back to work in July and leave the 2 loves of my life to daycare! So I am counting on my blog to release some stress of my everyday life!
