Ant's home for the next couple of days...... but I had to share...... AVA ATE PEAS!!!!!!!!!!

Start.... Stop... Start.... Stop

That is the process I've had for blogging lately and as you can see it produces great posts. I'm usually inspired by photos but, I haven't taken a picture since New Years. Why because my computer is full. I know, I know empty it already, you've been complaining about this for months now, but I have trouble letting go of things..... pictures being one of them. They are saved on another computer and backed up on disk.... you'd think that would allow me to delete, delete, delete, but no that's not the case at all. I riffle through them again and PROCRASTINATE. I need some serious help to clean out this computer. Anyone out there with a bottle of rum some diet coke and time on there hands willing to help.

This picture is not related to anything written here, but I found it going through pictures and i like it so I thought I'd share..... what do you mean I'm still procrastinating?

Shopping 101

Honestly when money is short and you go into the grocery store to get water what do you come out with?

Well the correct answer to that would be water, but unfortunately we have a few screws loose and this was what showed up on the bill.....

• wraps
• tooth brush
• puff pastry
• oxy clean
• foosball table

Does that seem odd to anyone? Ya that's right no water and a foosball table. Are we good or what. We have played every night so far, so at least it's being used:P

Three weeks to find a book

I'm asking for your help. We've lost a library book. I need to know where to look for it. I've been through all the toys over Christmas to clean out all the old ones and "the book" no where to be found. So my question to you is "Where is the weirdest place you've found a library book?" or any book for that matter.

Please help, leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

Thank You for almost the Best Christmas ever

We had a wonderful Christmas this year it lasted forever. So much celebrating in such a short time. It took me a couple of days to start breathing again. Everyone was so generous and the amazing dinners, I've gained almost 10 lbs although that might have something to do with the fact that I replaced Ant with Chocolate while he was away. So this would have been the best Christmas if Ant had been here to for all the celebrations...... I only cried twice and one time doesn't count really because I was in tears over how lucky we were and how blessed we are to have our little family. The second however I was all out pathetic, balling over a Santa sighting over North Bay and Ant wasn't there to be all giddy with me, but really who was I kidding even if he was there I'm not so sure he would have gotten giddy.
I was lucky enough to have my sister's brother and sister in-law over for a day over the holidays. We set about the task of putting together the gingerbread house........

Yummm!

So I don't forget here is how it all went down.

Sunday Dec 28 - Was woken up really early to take Ant back to the airport. We were visiting our friends Brian and Mel (and lets not forget about Lexi). I ran to the bathroom right before we left, only to see that my period or what I thought was my period had started. By the time I got home about 4 hours later there was no sign of it, didn't think much of it just thought it would show up later in the day or maybe even the next day it had happened before.

Monday Dec 29 - Woke up to even lighter spotting, again assuming that this was the start of my period. After escaping my bambinos some time later that morning I found that I had been tricked again and my pulse quickened. Years of infertility had trained my brain to jump to conclusions, only apparently this was not to be the same game I was playing before.

Tuesday Dec 30 - Nothing in the morning...... no sign of my period in the afternoon..... I felt crazy as I bundled the kids into the car for an emergency trip to the store to confirm my insanity. I was not pregnant.... I just needed to prove it to myself so that over New Years celebrations I would not feel guilty. But after I finally occupied the bambinos enough to have enough privacy to pee on a stick I stole away to the bathroom. As I watched the test do it's thing, having been warned that results take up to two min to show..... I stopped breathing at about 5 seconds mark...... this is what I saw.......
Now before the results had even hit my brain the phone was ringing. My poor friend Mel, it's a good thing she was a little sleep deprived, cuz our conversation was a mess. I couldn't say anything..... Ant didn't even know yet..... what the..... really?..... Pregnant.... I really suck at keeping secrets, well my own any way. I couldn't talk too much or I would spill the beans. After we got off the phone I waited for Ant to call (I'm really glad I gave him the heads up that I was going to take the test)
