hello!
still sick. still hating it. i am so sick that i am not even excited about the weekend, because i cant do anything anyway - no one likes a constant nose blowing cold spreader.
and you know what i absolutely hate about being sick? is the stupid stupid stupid packets that the cold and flu tablets come in. you have to peel back this bit of paper stuff and THEN push the tablets out of the foil. and it is hard. like for the love of god, all i want is to not be sick anymore.
so all day today is stayed in bed. however.. what is worse then a pounding headache and runny nose? having a pounding headache and runny nose while there are four guys outside on the garage roof bashing and crashing and fixing things, allll daayyyy loonngggg.
i didnt do any washing today though because the washing machine is still broken..
kids came home, garretts apple sauce exploded in his lunch box, so that was fun cleaning.
then we chilled out and watched tv. made dinner, read my book, finished at 7:30 and showered, and now i am done. not going out to sin city (a club) because i am sick. wahh.
and not planning anything at all this weekend. at least i am saving money.
goodnight xo

hey!
and we enter the seventys..
it is super crazy how fast time is going.
well last night, boy oh boy.. i barely slept for two hours. that headache i got yesterday has turned into a full on head cold. every part from the bottom of my neck up is killing, throbbing, stabbing, pounding.. constantly!
my throat, my ears, my nose, my head, just everything!
i am already sick of being sick and its only been one day, god dammiitttttt.
so this morning as soon as the kids left i went back to bed..
and woke up to have lunch.
read my book, went to the chemist to stock up on drugs, came home and then the kids pretty much got here twenty minutes later.
did homework, G finished his shark report now all he has to do is make a diorama, and because my head was killing me and they were being good i let them watch tv, on a school day :O cause i am just that generous.
made them dinner, karen came home and took harrison to buy his birthday cake (his birthday is on saturday, and because i am sick i couldnt go to the store but i rang and no where had what he wanted any way so i ordered it online and it shall be here monday - which he is cool with) and then i finished..
finished reading 'safe haven' which was bloody brilliant, watched vampire diaries, greys anatomy and now i am watching jersey shore waiting for my sleepy night time drugs to kick in so i can sleeeep.
goodnight xo

hey!
wow. hello february. time has flowwnnnn by. it feels like i was in montreal only yesterday.
today it was soooo lovely. it was a warm fifteen degrees by noon, and i was absolutely loving it. it was actually warmer outside in the sun then it was inside.
so the kids went to school, i started and abruptly finished the washing because the washing machine has decided to be a major turd and wont drain/spin the water out. and because the water is trapped in there, there door wont unlock (it is a front load washer) which means the clothes are stuck! god dammit. i hate front load washers.
oh and i had/have a MAJOR head cold today.. and my head feels like it will explode.
so this morning i popped some pills and went back to sleep only to hear a 'knock knock' on the front door - first i thought i was dreaming, then i heard it again and decided it was the post lady and she would just leave whatever it was at the front door and then the doorbell rang, so i had to go down stairs. turned out to be the guy dropping off the skip bin for the guys who are fixing the garage roof (from when a tree went through it in the snow storm).
i go back to sleep, forty five minutes later the doorbell rings, again! its the guy dropping off the crap to fix the roof.
go back to sleep, and then was woken by lauren asking if i was still going to the gym. i guess i slept through the alarm i set.
but we decided that a jog along the river would be nicer because it was such a nice day and i needed air because my head still hurt.
so we went jogging, watched a poor old mans bike slip on the section of ice he was riding over, so we helped him out, and then another guy on his bike fell as well. so lauren and i ended up adventure walking up the side hill so we didnt have to cross it.
came home and made eggs for lunch, showered, watched jenna marbles on youtube...
sidenote - type in youtube, 'jenna marbles' and watch any of her videos, she is absolutely hilarious.
nb: i wouldnt suggest any of the grandparentals to do this though, there is a lot of swearing and inappropriatness.
kids came home, did homework, the boys painted the racecars for the weekend, G and i did his project on sharks, he told me what to type and i typed because he types a word per minute and i just dont have the patience - or time - for that. i learnt quite alot about sharks. for instance, did you know they are made out of catilage and not bones? or that they hatch from an egg inside the mum before growing to be big enough to be born? interesting huh?
made spag bol for dinner. and now i am finished..
head is still killing me. but i must not sleep. not until 9pm when one tree hill is over. last weeks episode was a major cliffhanger, and I MUST WATCH IT TONIGHT!
oh and last night, i brought some new swimmers online. they are volcom and they are really cute. it was free over night shipping so they will be here tomorrow! yay!
goodnight xo

hellooooo!
i was going to go to the gym this morning but lauren was feeling sick so we didn't go.
which meant i could just chill all day long.
i am loving the book i am reading..
and i squeezed in a nanna nap.
showered and washed my hair - it is curly again now, after being styled all weekend with either a straightener or hair curler..
the kids came home, quickly did their homework and then went down to their friends house to jump on the trampoline, except rachel who takes a billion years to do her homework.
they came home, i gave them a quick dinner, and then they all went to harrison's DARE graduation at the school, and i have rachel at home who has a higher than normal temp and is going to bed early - when she finally finishes her homework.
not going to starbucks tonight either because a - it is fairly boring, and b - i want to watch 90210.
going to cook myself some dinner now, and by cook, i mean put a frozen chicken stirfry into the microwave.
goodnight xo

hey..
first of all - congrats to chloe, my little sister, on getting her P's yesterday! so proud of you. and very excited to have a designated driver now!
monday was actually not bad at all today.
there were no kids here this weekend, so the house was practically exactly how i left it friday afternoon - which meant a wholleee lot less cleaning for me.
did the washing, cleaned up, and then started reading 'safe haven' by nicholas sparks, because 'the missing girl' was also a major disappointment and i gave up after two chapters..
i had a nanna nap to catch up on lost zzz's over the weekend.
kids came home, homework, dinner, took harrison to tae kwon do, then i made scrambled eggs for my dinner, and i am quite sure that i may have eaten a touch of mould from the cheese i put in there.. uh oh.
and the washing machine and/or dryer has eaten my pajama shirt and a pair of socks.. how does that even happen!?
the gossip girl royal wedding is on tonight! and pretty little lairs! yay.
well goodnight xo

hey!
well well well, another biiiigggg night.
because - we like to party, we like we like to party ;)
woke up this morning feeling a tadddd under the weather, but it passed after a couple of hours.
then we actually had to get dressed and all that jazz, because we had an au pair meeting at 'indoor glow in the dark put put golf' which turned out to be super fun! it was absolutely hilarious.
finished there, i came second from four, we got subway for lunch which might i add we were served by a complete rude stupid american teenager. i could not believe how she was talking to us, and getting all huffy puffy about nothing.
went back to the mansion, ate lunch, watched 'leap year', had a nanna nap and then dropped by home to shower and make myself look pretty for the cheesecake factory, for my third birthday dinner.
and they even sang happy birthday to me..
left there, almost wee'd in my pants on the way home, i had to use laurens toilet when i dropped her home because i could not hold it in..
got home, talked to mum and i will soon go to bed.
goodnight xo

anyway..

so i woke up with a hangover, had some special k with was delicious! it was like almond and honey or something..

then i tried to stay up, felt like crap went back to bed, got up again and went with robyn to get printer ink and paper from staples and came home to watch the notebook.

quite the lazy day at the mansion.. and its still only saturday, bloody fantastic.

now i am talking to mum and about to get ready to party all over again.

theres about 20ish people coming tonight, fingers crossed the american guy that lauren met at the DMV the other day comes and brings hot friends with him...should be good.

well i'm off - let the drinking begin!

goodnight xo
