Mornings...and afternoons

Mornings can be so peaceful, I enjoy just me and Josh doing stuff at home. He has been insisting on dining at the little table lately, he eats breakfast and lunch there. I don't know why, it is just what he likes. Maybe the big table is too big for him. Mind you he has been ending up in our bed so much lately, even Lauryn came wandering in the middle of the night last night. The kids have all wanted to sleep in our room so much when they were small. Even Amelia still the odd time comes crawling in. I love the cuddle time, but it usually means I am half awake because the kicks love to kick and hog the bed! They are only small once...

I am going to try and bake today, and we will have make your own pizza night/movie night/family night tonight. We do it most Fridays, it is always lots of fun. I will finish my cleaning and readings early, then do my shopping, hopefully all in the morning! Big order for a short time!

I got my CRNBC final form yesterday, just have to send the last payment in, I am approved to register. My boss told me 6 months it took her daughter to get hers-mine was super fast. The college there told me 6 weeks. I am not planning on returning to work until fall, I will take the summer off and enjoy my family and oceanside life. Life is too short to waste working all my time away-besides Davey-O is getting another raise, and then another big one next Dec, so it should not matter so much what I do, thank goodness.

I am procrastinating, need to get busy this am...

Well I am continuing this in the pm, I will do my reading after I drop Lauryn off at her playdate. I got the house clean, picked up pizza stuff and snacks for tonight, and exchanged a dress at the gap. I am being efficient for the first time this week I swear. Dave and I even got the basement sorted, more stuff getting the heave ho, as we figure out the family room, mud room, living room furniture for the new house. It is all coming together.

Mom's surgery went without a hitch and she is home. Now let's hope all the news is as positive. Interesting aside, Kathy's mom has a boyfriend. Good for her, I think that is awesome. My good friend Chantal is also thinking about dating again-I am so glad, she deserves happiness too. Even Mom has entertained such thoughts recently, and I really hope she does. Being alone can be so hard.

Furniture, Dad et al

Dad would be so pleased with my new table and chairs. SOLID espresso oak, no veneers, no MDF or other crap(we went to almost every furniture store in the city-almost every table you find is cleverly masked MDF with veneers). I am pleased, they are very urban, yet classic style. I was speaking with a friend on facebook who lost her Dad recently, we had similar experiences it seems. Dad is in my thoughts continually, I know that he would be so happy with how things are going these days. Josh is a miniature Dad, he enjoys his ice cream and chips just like Grandpa, he is his karmic equivalent, without a doubt. I wish for Josh to be all my Dad was in his greatness, and none of his faults-haha perfect kid right?! Dad will be living with us at the coast, for sure : ), he always wanted to be there.

Glad to be taking a day off from enzyme inhibitors etc., SO much material. Yikes, is all I will say at the moment. I slaved in all my spare time this week, n'uff said.

Appliances are here, I have virtually my dream stove and fridge, dishwasher and micro are being picked up at the coast, so i will wait to see those. What a giant fridge, but it will be nice to have 2 fridges like in Kingston, very handy, the stove is a true convection LG-even a cobalt interior to match my Kitchenaid stuff. I love to cook, so having a good kitchen, in an open concept area is so important. I can't wait for our first gathering.

Grandpa Quique is still in hosp, had a bad episode, so not home yet. Grandma is stressed, she really needs a break. Hopefully things will improve, but the rehab phase is so long.
