The Day After

Yesturday was the biggest love day of the year. I get the question of, mommy you love us all year so why don't we get chocolate all year? I told them it was an extra special day to show love and to make sure everyone knows how much they are loved. Miss Keona looks at me and says, mommy it would take you years to show how much you love me because there it's just too much.

My husband calls from work yesturday and says not to eat supper that he will make us a nice dinner for when I get home from the library with Alex, which is after 8. I had a little bit at supper because my body was telling me to eat or it would start being mean to me. I bought a bottle of wine on the way home and came into the house with my husband making dinner in his good suit, all the kids in bed (Alex on his way) and the table set up all nice, tablecloth, candles and all. It was so romantic and sweet. The wine was gone and there was some food leftover.

He went to bed with high expectations, he also drank a little much and wasn't the most gentle in the delicate areas (twice) and the dog was whining to get out of Alex's room, so I told him to bug off. He got all pissy but oh well. Later in the night he tried again but the dog was in bed too and kept ticking my feet so that just killed the moment. The time three came along and Keona decided she needed cuddling. Talk about getting shafted last night. So now I suppose he will be mopey all day. Oh well, dinner was romantic and really wonderful, the wine was great, it was all in all a really nice Valentine's day.

Today is back to regular love and a pajama party tonight at my kids school. From suits, dresses and candles to pjs and hot cocoa. One extreme to the next, the ongoing saga of our life.

Tomorrows Valentine's Day

The season of love. Yeah ok whatever, somebody should really tell the stores this. To me love isn't jacking up the prices of flowers and crap like that because it's the romantic holiday. I want flowers damn it but I won't let hubby pay $40 bucks for a dozen roses when normally they are $12. We did however, go out for dinner this past weekend and it was so nice. The wait was over an hour but it was well worth it. Then dinner was superb and the wine was oh so nice. I didn't even drink 2 glasses and had to stop so I could drive home, hubby on the other hand finished the litre that we got. With the crap he pulled it was nice that it seemed like he was all about me that night. Odd thing is the waiter was the same way. It was rather amusing how he talked to my boobs most of the time he was at our table because he was so much younger than we were. We got all dressed up and it felt awesome to be going out to have dinner and relax. Our babysitter was superb, despite having a hard time with Keona. Alex was at a friends house. The two big kids were in bed sleeping and Timothy was cuddling as we walked in. I guess she had Timothy asleep also when Keona decided to go yelling through the house and wake him up. They looked so relaxed though, it was too sweet. The kids love when she comes over, and love it more when she sleeps over.

Brad is the worst at waiting to give presents so he gave me my card and two candles yesturday, he wanted to light them last night while I soaked in the tub and relaxed. Luckily before I relaxed too much I managed to get out, just in time to feed my chunky monkey, then he fell asleep, then he woke up ten minutes later, came and cuddled his momma and went back to sleep for a good chunk of the night.

Keona is having her first school Valentine's party today and was so excited to go and she promised me she would behave. She wants to be there so badly I hope she can. The boys will have theirs tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's everyone!!!!!!!

One of my Favourite Things to Do

I'm just playing, seeing what I can get because I don't think anyone is watching.

Paper!!!!!!! I love paper, gimme all the paper!!!!!!

Oh No!!!!!! Somebody is coming!!!!!!

Hi Mommy!!!!!! I'm not doing anything, really.

Timothy cannot get enough of paper, any paper. I showed Brad how much he is crawling today by dropping a peice of paper on the floor and that boy went crazy going after it. He loves paper.

Has Anyone Seen my Baby?

I went out today to bring Zachary and Keona to swimming lessons and came home to a big boy. Timothy has decided that he needs to crawl now, especially to paper. It's the cutest thing going. Not only that but my baby has decided that since one of the daycare kids can pull herself up with furniture so can he. He pulled himself up and stood there and looked at me smiling. Why on earth does my baby have to grow so fast?

It's a new day

Time to start leaving all the shit in the background. I'm the only mom my kids have and i'm going to be the best that I can be no matter how the other half treats them. When they get older things will come back around. I love my kids so much, even when they cause total chaos in my house. My oldest is being a total gentleman lately. He's helping out around the house a ton and loves his momma to death. Zachary is my little peanut. He's still so tiny and loveable. His growling and stomping when he doesn't get his way is rather amusing now and boy does it piss him off when I laugh at it. Keona, well Keona is Keona, She is a total diva when she wants to be and a tom boy as quick as you can turn around. I guess that's what 2 big brothers does to you, sure did that to me. Timothy is my baby boy, he is about to cute teeth 4-6 and although he can be grouchy he made mommies night last night by only getting up once during the night and his daddy fed him while mom slept. That is one good thing about the other half, he does get up the odd time at night to feed the baby. When he doesn't Timothy loves it because he gets booby. Yes at 8 plus months he's still my booby boy, I told him if he bites that's it, he laughed at me but since telling him he hasn't bitten. Smart little monkey.

I'm feeling awesome tonight. I bought all my groceries with daycare money (that I earned) and still had some left over!!!!!! I made more money than was needed for groceries for a family of 6 plus daycare kids. I'm so excited about that.

Brad started his therapy and surprize, surprize, the therapist, which is being paid for by tax dollars, told him the same freaken thing i've been saying and everyone else around him has been saying!!!!! What another waste of money, but he is too hot headed to beleive family. Oh well, such is life.
