Arg! You know?

I hate when this happens.  I hate when I have all these awesome thoughts and when I have a moment to get them down...they're gone.  Good ole Murph.  He's really been raging through my life these days.  Maybe it's only because I have a two and a half year old.  I'm pretty sure Murphy is running loose through the lives of all people with young children though.  I'd be pretty selfish to think he only pays attention to me.

Most of you know, or have finally come to realize, I like to write.  It's not that I write anything good necessarily, and I'd love for people to read my stuff, but I do it for my own satisfaction; to get my thoughts down.  It clears my brain.  It's been a long time since I picked up a pencil and paper; maybe it's time.  Often, I'll lay in bed thinking and actually start scripting a blog or a conversation with someone--you know, all those things I should've said!  They always sound pretty damn good too!  I should take the time to write them down WHILE I'm scripting, but alas I do not.

Back to Murphy.  I've recently seen a clever little post spread around facebook about Murphy's Law and the toddler.  It rings painfully close to reality these days.  If it can happen, it WILL happen.  Nola proves that to use time and time again, and now Heidi is following closely behind.

You know, as I write this I can't even think of some clever antidote to tell you about.  It's just life every day.  The constant tidy and clean up, chasing after and sitting with.  I never imagined I would have loved it as much as I do.

Nola and I are beginning a mom and tot swimming class tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to it.  As much as I tell her about it and as excited as she appears to be, I know she's going to love it too.  It'll be a good opportunity for us to have time together; Heidi will go to the child minding offered at the complex.

Life in general is good though.  I can't think of much to complain about or even mention.  Life is, after all, 90% maintenance.

I better stop this nonsensical ramble here.  I'm not saying anything productive and I PROMISE to write down my super-awesome thoughts the next time I'm having them!  And if I don't have a pencil and paper handy I'll short hand it into my notes on the ole iPhone.

Meh.

The Real Deal

I was able to experience something incredible today.   Me, my Grandmother (Oma) and my Mother (Monika) went to see Dwayne, a Psychic Medium. Of course I got the idea from watching some TV shows and thinking about how interesting it would be.   Then I discovered a cousin in Ontario recently went to a Psychic Medium to connect with her passed Father.   As luck and irony should have it, shortly after that I saw a Facebook status of a friend who had had the pleasure of being read by Dwayne and how “blown away” she was.   That was enough for me, and I got his information and booked the appointment. I convinced my Mom and Oma that this should be something the three of us do together.   I didn’t think it would take too much convincing as they are both spiritual to a degree and definitely open minded.   Yep, they agreed. Dwayne agreed to see the three of us consecutively, which I was grateful for, thinking it might be a bit too much Drexler/Schmidt/Cappi...

It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

Calgary Visit @ 27 weeks

I think it's going to be a hold-your-breath kind of week. Baby girls heart beat was at about 53 today.  55 is the danger zone cut off.  It kind of stumped Kevin and I.  The ultrasound tech was super nice and, of course, they don't really know what sort of news they're giving us when they tell us the heart rate.  They don't know why we're there, but we went a little quiet when she said.  I wasn't really expecting that. Today Kevin and I decided to get a disc of pictures of our sweetheart.  She was having a party today while they were trying to take pictures, wiggling and bouncing. She's about 2 1/4 pounds. Her feet measure about 5.4 cm. So with the lower rate, the pediatric cardiologist (the amazing Dr. Fruitman) came into the room immediately to have a look for herself and we had the consult right away.  She asked me how things had been and I told her about this past week.  I took a hard fall on the ice with Nola in my ...
