10 Weeks Gone...

Christien wrote his final exam today. He's been home for 10 weeks and he goes back to work on Monday. It really didn't seem like that long. I have mixed emotions about him going back to work. It's been nice having him home in the evenings and on weekends, but I really do miss our 2 full weeks together as well. Where we can do whatever we want, anytime that we want. It's a hard pro/con list to make.

We went out to Banff for a little day trip today. Walked up and down the strip, went for lunch and went to the hot springs. A pretty good day. It was only about -3 out all day, and the snow would fall and stop and fall and stop. So it was a really pretty day to be out and about. I have come to a conclusion though. I do enjoy Canmore more then I do Banff. Not sure why. Maybe cause there aren't as many people and tourists up and down the street. It's smaller... I don't know. I just know that I'm happy to go to Canmore any day.

Had to miss book club tonite. Was really looking forward to hearing all about Shannon's trip to India. However, I did just start reading the book from last book club today, so seeing as I'm a bit behind... I'll just let them discuss (if any of them actually read the book) and pick the next book for me. I'm happy reading anything.

Don't think that we're going to have a big crazy weekend. Nothing planned, and I'm really hoping that we can just chill out for our last weekend together before Christien is back at work. Supposed to snow all weekend, so it'll be nice to stay in curled up with a book and a movie. Or maybe we'll venture outside for a walk or two. Who knows. The world is our oyster. Ha ha ha.

Happy Weekend All!!

Reid is Two!!

Happy Birthday little man. I still can't believe that Reid turned two this weekend. I have a little toddler on my hands. He's not a baby anymore. I guess he hasn't been a baby in a while, but knowing that he is officially a two year old makes it just a bit crazy.
Grandma Cleo came up to help us celebrate, which was really nice. Reid and Cash had a joint birthday party at Village Square Leisure center. We rented out the Jungle Gym for them and a few of their little buddies. There were 6 kids in all, and they were all boys. Everyone had a blast. Most of the adults found themselves in the jungle gym playing along with the boys. Cake, presents, balloons and loot bags were to follow. Everyone was in good spirits until about 15 minutes before the party was over. We started to get a few melt downs, but nothing major.All in all, it was great weekend. I found myself a bit sick over the weekend, but finally woke up today, on Family Day, without a headache and the illness seemed to be gone. I was so worried that Reid was going to catch it, and there's nothing worse then a sick little boy. Unless it's a sick husband....

Spaaahhhh Day

Picked grandma up from the airport yesterday. Reid's new obsession. It's been a nice break for mama though. She loves to read him books and play with him, and since she got here, he really doesn't have time for me. Except when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

Cleo is sending me to the spa today. I'm so excited. I haven't ever had a real spa day. And I haven't been for a massage or pedicure in months and months and months. Maybe even over a year??? Also, getting a facial. Have never had one of those. Excited to try it out. All the while, she'll be back at home playing with Reid. I know she loves it, so that makes it way easier to leave him with her. I know that they'll have a great time, and he probably won't even notice I'm gone.

Looking forward to the quiet relaxation. Forgive me if I take this opportunity to fall asleep. During the massage. And facial. And pedicure. LOL.

Too Clumsy

I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Sleep deprivation? Loss of brain function? I got up the other morning to get Reid a bottle just before 6, and went crashing down the stairs. I'm in so much pain, still, it's crazy. And I'm going to have a long bruise from my hip to my knee, I'm sure of it. I can walk better, but now the muscles in my back and neck and shoulder are starting to act up. It's like one thing after another. I slipped on the ice a few weeks ago and banged up my knee really bad. Then I'm sure I chipped my ankle bone on the edge of the bed (I have no clue how that even happened, I just know that it made me want to barf and it was swollen and I couldn't walk), then the car accident, now this fall. Plus I get no sleep at night due to one infant that will remain nameless. Makes for a long and painful day when I'm too sore and tired to run after him.
