How is September almost over already??? This is crazy, time is going WAY too fast! Work has been crazy--and all the workloads are shifting, so my days pass so fast now that I don't even notice time going by! Which I suppose is a good thing! The faster this time goes, the quicker I see my little man :) Here's some countdowns I have running LOL: -120 days left until my due date -99 days left until I'm officially off for mat leave (if I go that long--I may not come back after my Christmas holidays (since there's only 3 days I would have to work in there) so it might really only be 86 :) -Of these 99 (or 86) days, only 62 (or 58 days) are actual working days left! lol So many different countdowns going on! anyways--yah--not excited at all LOL Last night, instead of taking my regular bus home, I bussed to Blair with Dolly and we stopped in at Walmart at Gloucester--what a horrible walmart! They literally had nothing we were really looking for! They better fix it up in...

I hate coming back to work after random days off--it's SO Much more work to catch up on. I even change my out of office messages to reflect who to contact when I'm not here--but do people listen? nope! They just leave it in my inbox unactioned so that it is overdue even by the time I come in--great! Not stressful at all. Anyways...Monday night, I got home and had a bunch of energy. I had this Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake I have been wanting to try, so I whipped it up and then just made some kraft dinner and hot dogs since we weren't super hungry yet. We ate at the table (we do this every so often lol) and then cut a piece of the cake, drizzled the icing on top and went down to watch some tv--Ty had a new Cosmo, a beautiful card and a little stuffed animal waiting for me so I opened the card (cried of course with the nice things he wrote in it) and we carried on eating cake and watching tv lol. Yesterday, I wanted to sleep in but Ty had to get up early for work so I woke ...

Coming back this monday morning fully rested and relax-ated :) lol It was a busy weekend but we still managed to sneak enough sleep in somehow! Friday night, we came home and ate dinner and I knew I had some major cleaning to do to catch up--and since Father Matthew is coming over on Wednesday night to bless the house, I started all the major cleaning (he's allergic to cats so I need to make sure there's a minimum of the hair floating around lol). So I went on a frenzy. All I have left is to clean the walls in the bathroom and to tidy up the laundry room and office. I will go over the floors to dust and mop one more time as well on Tuesday just for good measure! After the cleaning , we had a little snack and laid in bed watching tv movies until we fell asleep! Saturday morning we woke up and lounged around for half an hour or so, then we got up and packed and got ready and headed out to meet Rod and Sharon at the Denny's at South Keys. I decided to have pancakes (which fo...

Friday September 21, 2012

Another gloomy day! I suppose we can get used to this with fall and winter approaching though! We got off to a rough start today at work--the fire alarm went off in the middle of a meeting and we were stuck outside (most of us without a coat or umbrella--yay! :( ). The Library we're connected too was having a sprinkler issue I guess so we finally got to come back inside once our side of the building was cleared by firemen! Then it was lunch time--yep. I burned the entire roof of my mouth (on soup) and it is SO painful now--some of the gums feel like they're peeling off now--ouch! Upside to the day (other than the fact it's Friday?) ...Ride home! yay! Ty is picking me up from work tonight so I dont have to wait in the rain and take a long, late bus again! Once I get home, I have to pack! Tomorrow we're heading out to Calabogie for the night to celebrate a family friends 50th birthday--Ty is playing in the band and a few people I know are going up too so I'll hang...

Thursday September 20, 2012

Yay Thursday! The week is pretty well over in my mind, and that excites me :) lol So yesterday, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home since I was a bit earlier than usual to pick up some stuff we needed. I get home and I see a note from Fedex on my door--he couldn't leave the parcel without my signature for release on his little form and they needed another like $30 for import duties, which is fine--so I signed it, wrote a cheque out and left it on the door this morning, just in case he gets there before I get home today. Stupid Fedex...This is why I hate ordering things online now--the depots are NEVER in convenient locations--Fedex depot, for those that don't know, is located at the airport, which is only slightly out of my way LOL I went inside and cooked up some chicken I had been marinating in a "sante fe" sauce--which was kinda tangy, but yummy! Steamed some broccoli and made some long grain rice :) Simple dinner but Ty wasn't going to be home unt...

Happy Hump Day everyone!! The middle of the week has arrived :) Yahoo!! Tomorrow is a nice short half day at work for me since I have a doctors appointment in the afternoon, so I will get to sleep in and drive in and have my car here:) After the doctors, I want to really just go home and catch up on more house stuff and start going through things and slowly child proofing--like the shelves in the basement full of glasses that aren't anchored to the wall--I think I should pack all those glasses up in boxes and move the shelves--seems like something a toddler would try to pull themselves up with and it would topple right down on top of him :( Just things like that--I'd like to prepare for that now since I don't want to think about it later! Last night when I got home, Ty had actually made dinner--I almost died of a heart attack. I was on his case all day because he never cooks and it was raining and he got to stay home--so I was livid at the thought of him sitting around the...

I love today. I was Jonesin' for a good rain day I think! I feel so cozy and comfy and like being slow at everything I do today :) I wish I were at home to bake and cook and read and watch tv, but I'll make the most of being here! lol I also got a nice surprise this morning --the service man came to change the light covers to parabolic lenses in my office :) No more headaches from the awful lights! wahoo! Just finished enjoying my toast and PB and water and about to cut into my grapefruit! mmmm..I will slowly enjoy that until my meeting at 11! lol Last night when I got home, Ty had already eaten some leftover shephard's pie so I just cooked up some grilled cheese (mmm) and had that and settled in to watch my season finale of Keeping up with the Kardashians...I heard a doorbell go off but thought it was in the show...then it started dinging incessantly and banging ensued...I finally realised it was MY door lol...I ran upstairs and my parents were at the door LOL oops :) M...

Good Monday Morning everyone! This weekend was a good one for me--very relaxing and slow :) Friday I was home, as Thursday I was getting sick ALL day at work--living in the washroom--I brought up everything I ate (4 times in total and a VERY close call on the bus) and twice after I got home--so I decided around mightnight when I couldn't sleep that enough was enough, that it wasn't just not feeling well, I had the full on flu. So I told work I wouldn't be in and I literally slept the ENTIRE day. I woke up a few times to down some water and had some dry toast in the afternoon and for supper and slept for about 11 hours that night. Saturday morning I woke up feeling quite a bit better but I ate real food and it was just too heavy for me after a day like Thursday/Friday. So I just lounged around on the couch/bed and called it a day! Sunday I woke up feeling like new! I got up early and put away some laundry and just felt like baking! Tyler headed out to talk to some people ...

Thursday September 13, 2012

What a horrible morning! It's only 11:45 and I've gotten sick twice! At first, I thought I was getting whatever Tyler had, but it's such a weird feeling--it's just like a sudden overwhelming urge to throw up (sorry) and then followed by feeling really hot for about 20 minutes and then I feel perfectly fine--then it starts again. I talked to a lady here at work that just came back from her Mat leave and she said that it was pretty common for her all through her pregnancy to just randomly throw up--and sometimes it would happen on and off all day...so I guess that's what it is and I'm just lucky this is the first time it's happened! lol I am blaming it on the bagel this morning--the cream cheese just didn't go down very easy, and as I was eating it, I knew it would be making an "upcoming" appearance lol. Lord, just get me through this day so I can get into pjs and crawl into bed! I don't even feel like eating my lunch :( Tyler, on the other...

I guess I should start this off in a way anyone would on a day like this--in remembrance. I cannot believe 11 years has passed already since 9.11.01.  I can still remember that day vividly. Though it didn't affect me greatly personally, it was devastating to think of how many peoples mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, etc were killed or in some way broken because of a few people. I was going up the stairs in my highschool between periods of class when they were announcing it, so I missed the first half of the announcement and wasn't really sure what had happened until we sat down in next period and the teacher explained. A guy in my class, his uncle worked in the building that was first hit--his mom picked him up from school shortly after he told us that. It was hard to really imagine the outcome--a plane crashing into a building was such a foreign concept to me--it wasn't until I got home and turned on the tv did it really even make sense. I even video tap...

Monday September 10, 2012

Well, here we are again, facing another week right in the eye. Monday mornings are never an overly pleasant time in my house, but this morning was even worse. I woke up to my alarm at 5:45 (and can I mention it feels like way more than 2 days I've been sleeping without my alarm, surprisingly) so I was very surprised this morning when it sounded. I thought "that's weird! Why would I set my alarm on a day off!" and shut it off and went back to "sleep"...I was just drifting off when I remembered--oops! It's not a long weekend. I was 10 minutes later than normal by this point but still managed to get out the door by 6:30 to catch my bus...Hope this isn't an indication of how the week is going to be! lolol! I am so hormonal this week, the only way I could be more hormonal is if hormones took the place of blood in my body and took over completely. Poor Tyler. I am an absolute nightmare right now to live with I'm sure--not so much mad/angry as just sa...

It is SO hot out today!! I went out a few times (this morning, lunch and out just now to translation before heading out in less than an hour) and I am sweating to death! I mean, it's no hotter than usual, but I guess I have more clothes on and with a growing waist, the heat is harder to deal with. Thank GOD I am going to be at my biggest in the winter so I don't have to deal with this! I don't know how women are 9 months pregnant in this heat and humidity--it's beyond me and it exhausts me even to think about lol. Today was absolutely wild busy--and I am so grateful for that. The last few days have been just dragging because they've been so slow! The fast pace is a welcome change :) Tomorrow is Friday!! woohoo! I am thinking of driving in as Tyler will be in Cornwall, then I can just head out right from work instead of wasting an hour on the bus first..maybe I'll beat some of the traffic on the 138 that way :) Going to spend the night at my parents place sin...

I don't know why they call it a long weekend when it's a "not long enough" weekend :( lol Needless to say, I am NOT ready to be back here this morning. Friday, Tyler left around 2 for a paintball game in Picton ON for the night. Since I was going to be alone at home, I figured I would get some shopping done after work :) I drove into work and left around 3 since no one was here. Headed out to Mr. Lube for my $105.00 oil change lol. (I got other stuff done at the same time though so it's not too bad). Then had some Burger King with Doll before heading out to meet Amber since we were in Orleans! We started at Bonnie Togs, which is a family favourite baby/toddler clothing store. I bought whatever I liked from there for the baby (even though I had just been shopping there 2 days before LOL). Then we headed over to Ardene for a quick look and off to Walmart after where I just picked up some curtains for the nursery, baby laundry detergent, another little onesie and s...
