Ten on Tuesday!

1.. I'm not going to dwell on it.....because I know that everyone else is in the same boat......but I HATE this weather!  I'm in a frozen little funk.  I hate the time that it takes to get the kids bundled up to take Hayden 6 minutes up the road to school.  And on that note, I also HATE driving in this weather.  I hate icy, slippery conditions despite the fact my husband has put Winter tires on my car.  I feel like I drive a wee bit "Miss Daisy".....and I don't care.  I have precious cargo.  So I'm going slow.  And careful.  And if you ever have the misfortune occasion to drive behind me, I'm sorry.

2.. There's not a whole lot new going on at our house.  Same 'ol, same 'ol.  (Weird that it takes me forever to get to Blogger then isn't it?!)   The flu bug/cold bug ripped through our house and we are all at the tail end of it.  I think.  Hayden is loving school so much so that when he was sick and I kept him home, he was very upset with me!   

3.. Ralph is working hard as usual.  His reward??  A double trip to Burlington!  I think his boss secretly hates me.  Though we have never met :)  He flies out tomorrow afternoon, is gone all day Thursday and Friday, is home Saturday and Sunday, flies out Monday afternoon again and is gone until Friday night, December the 3rd.  BOO!!

4.. Olivia is the cutest little thing lately.  She's She's putting 3 words together now!  At breakfast she said to me; "more toast please!"  Some of her other favorite phrases are: "Daddy work," "Me come too," "baby sleeping," "no diaper," and "Grandma & Grandpa."  And so many other new words every day!  She really isn't so much a baby anymore. She's a real little girl!

5..My kids love to dance.  Hayden thinks he is Usher and cranks "his" song whenever it comes on the radio.  Which is at least 3 times a day.  Olivia dances along.....but her real favorite is Break your Heart by Taio Cruz.  I need to cultivate this love of music.  I think it's awesome.

6.. I {heart} PBSKids.  I {heart} Sesame Street.  This is one of our new favorite videos:

And there are SO MANY other gooders that make us ALL laugh.....Elmo with Adam Sandler, Elmo with Ricky Gervais......good times.

7.. I didn't think I could do it but I'm wearing contacts!  After my last check up, my eyes had gotten considerably worse.  I need to wear glasses.  Not just to drive anymore.....but all the time.  I was totally freaked out about sticking my finger in my eyeball but it's actually not that bad.  And now I can see all the time.  And no more headaches.  I guess it's worth it :)

8.. Picasos in training.....look at the concentration!

 

9..I have always said that one year I was going to be done my Christmas shopping early.  The way I'm trending, it won't be this year!  Which is strange because I LOVE to shop.  I just don't love to shop with 2 impatient children :)

10. I have a love/hate relationship with Kijiji at the moment.  My stroller has been listed FOREVER and it's not selling.  And it is NOT overpriced.  I have pulled the ad and re-listed it a million times.  In the meantime, I have sold a LeapFrog musical table and my highchair when I totally expected the stroller to go first.  I want it GONE.   I'm in purge mode.  Time to discount and re-list. Again.
