Need another root canal.

Yea me.
Went in to see Uncle Stu yesterday to get a filling filled from the other root canal and now I need to get another root canal done. Remind me to call the other dentist after I get off of here.
Not looking forward to that at all.

This weekend was another busy one.
I was at my friend Tanya's Friday night, then Glen drove in with the kids on Saturday and we spent the day in the city. My friend Crash came and drove us home.. what an Angel.. thanks so much!!
Then on Sunday was our friend Kayla's birthday so we went and celebrated with the family and had some cake. Very fun.


The kids are good... which is strange that no one is really causing trouble and getting along.. waiting for something to give.. but yea.

So here are some pics from Kid's Zone





And one from Ladies night

Yuck

This weekend was rough and carried on to the wee hours of this morning.

Helyn started throwing up Friday night/Saturday morning and carried on through the day Saturday.

I started feeling rough Saturday late morning but nothing worse than the headache and nausea ( no... not pregnant!!). My tooth that I got the root canal in at the end of February needs the permanent filling and I won't be getting that until the 20th of this month.

Liam was complaining of a headache yesterday morning so we kept him home to rest up. He didn't get any worse than that.. no fever or anything.

Last night on the way home from buying Glen new shoes, Helyn throws up in the car. She had had a few loose bms yesterday but nothing bad.

Just before midnight last night, Aidan started throwing up and continued all night.

For precaution, I kept both boys home today. They have been resting up in my room away from the rest of us and eating lightly.. sticking to the Brat Diet ( bananas rice applesauce and toast) and light fluids.

I am freaking exhausted!!! I need some sleep at some point.. from Friday night until last night, I have been functioning on 4-5 hours of sleep and frequent wakings and lots of caffine and tylonol for the pain in my mouth.

I need a holiday!

Guess who we are going to see???

We are going to see Metallica on October 29th!!

I was online and trying to get through on the phone for 20 minutes.. had great tickets and then i had to reset my security prefs!!!! SOB!!!!

So we got tickets in the 300 section :(.

Ah well... they are still going to be fun!!

Nicer weather = nicer moods.

The weather was so unpredictable this week... between warm and gorgeous and cold and rainy.
Horrible.

Me and the kids and a couple of their friends took advantage of the nicer weather and headed down to the park this morning ( you know me... I need an entourage of children with me when I go anywhere * rolleyes* ).

So here are some fun pics.

Nothing to report on right now.. just that everyone is in a good mood and so then I am too.

Little update.

We all survived March Break. I spent the weekend drinking to help me forget the stress. LOL. The week started out shaky with the whining and the tattling and etc, but ended on a good note on pajama day on friday.

We had a weekend full of parties. Aidan had a party for his friend Tye Saturday morning, me and the kids went to Georgia's party for the afternoon and daddy went to the hockey game with Chris that night.
Liam went to Steven's party for part of the afternoon and then on to a playdate with Aidan's friend Aiden Austin. Glen met Aiden's parents before we moved out to Carleton Place so we thought it would be great to get together. It was a great night.

Helyn has been pottying like a champ lately. Every 2 days without lactulose or mineral oil. Just good old fashioned fiber, liquids and her good food diet has been working like a charm. Her attitude could use some adjustment.. but that is the 3 year old in her. We had a few stand offs the last few weeks, but they have been getting less and less. We went to playgroup today for the first time since November, and she was listening so much better than in the fall. We are going to have to go more often now that the weather is nicer.

Liam ... oh Liam... the power struggles.... ahhhh. He wants more video game time. He wants more freedom to do things on his own... he is trying to be so persuasive too.. its just yanks at your heart each time he pleads and begs for something. Thank goodness Glen is being my rock and reminding me of certain boundaries we have set for the kids like no video games from Monday to Thursday. We made a deal that if he could pull up his grades, he can get more time with his DS and the Wii... so he is going to try.

Aidan just lost 2 more teeth. His bottom 2 front ones. He lost the first one while eating toast on Sunday morning and the other on Sunday night while eating a burger. He was so excited to lose 2 in one day.

Both of the boys got their report cards just before March break. They did really well in all areas. Lots of A's and B's. They both need to focus and made themselves seen and heard in classroom discussions.

Glen has been busy finishing work around the house the last few weeks and the house is really coming together. I am so proud of him for coming forward and finishing it up. It is going to look amazing all pulled together. He has been really helpful around the house as well. I think we were both in a big slump over the winter and I am so appreciative of his help with getting the house back in order. I just wish I could do the bigger jobs that he can do... but I just can't with Helyn at my heels all the time and the other day care kids.

I am working on my clutter issues. Its really hard to keep a routine going but its babysteps... I am working on the big problem areas of mine and expanding from there. Its a coming.
