The Kids Are Off With Daddy

I’ve had a weird morning.  I was so happy - still am - about my weekend alone when I woke up this morning.  Then I realized I still had to finish packing the kids’ clothes ;)  I got around and did all of that no problem and then it hit me.  That, “oh, but I’ll […]

A Weekend On My Own?

YES PLEASE :D  Hubby is taking the kids to the cottage this weekend - I’m staying here though.  I’m pretty excited about the time alone.  I’ll get lots of work projects done that have been bugging me, and also watch some chick-flicks and treat myself to at least one sleep in morning.  All in all, […]

Should I Have Tipped Him?

Oh shoot. With Matt not feeling well and Jen’s yucky, sneezy cold, I decided to have Shopper’s Drug Mart deliver the thermometer we needed. Yes, super-mom that I am, I didn’t realize that not one, but BOTH of my thermometers needed batteries until I had a sick child - yay me
Anyway, […]

Happy Saturday… or not…

Here we are at another Saturday :)  Here at my house it’s a beautiful day - warm and sunny and bright out.  …that’s the good news ;)  The bad news is that now Matt is sick.  He has what Jen started on last Sunday :(  He’s warm and lethargic and really has no appetite - […]

TV and Our Spouses

Are you a TV watcher? Are you married? If you said “yes” to both of those I’d love to know if you always watch TV together. Is there a discussion between the two of you as to what show you will watch next or do you have two TVs so there is […]

Tonight is Meet The Teacher night

Well, I’m not a novice to these events any more but still the idea doesn’t thrill me at all. Tonight is the night Hubby and I will go to the school, buy a barbequed dinner for the kids and visit each of their classrooms.
Reading it through I know it doesn’t seem to be a […]

Back From The Kids’ Check-ups

Well, they are both growing well - yay!! The doctor just compared their height and weight to where they were on the chart last time. Since Matt is still a bit taller than average and a bit lighter than average - same as last visit - she said he’s fine. Jen is […]

Children’s Weight - Does It Matter?

My two kids are 8 and 6 (years that is ).  They are both very happy, healthy kids and I’d say that they are healthy eaters too.   I’ve never forced them to finish their plates as we believe that they know best whether they are full or not.
What’s strange though, given that they are […]

Jenny has a cold :(

On Sunday I realized that Jen was getting a cold.  I hoped it wouldn’t take hold of her too badly though but last night the poor little thing was totally stuffed up
I gave her some medicine and she slept pretty well - phew!  This morning though it made me wonder whether I should […]
