You are my sunshine

So my day got better. I went to work and I had fun with the girls and Chris. When I left though Ollie was crying so I had to hold him for a few minutes and he gave me kisses...I wanted to stay home after that but I went. Then I came home. My mom called. We are going to be celebrating my birthday next Sunday. And I talked to her about the baby. We are all looking forward to the summer, going to the cottage since last summer we couldn't really because I was pregnant half the summer and going 2 hours outside the city (or a little more I think) is not the greatest idea when you're almost 9 months pregnant. Then right after isnt really a good idea with a new born. But we are looking forward to this summer, Ollie is all kitted out for the most part. He got his swimsuit that is really cute. We just need to get him some floaty thing so he can go in the water.

We went to breakfast with Chantal and Tony this morning. It was fun. We talked about different things in town to do and I'm so happy they are moving here. In high school there was me, Chantal, Tony and Matt and we were all good friends. Matt's out west, and since Tony and Chantal have been here it made me realize how much I missed my friends. I think part of me kind of blocked it out because I missed them so much. I can't wait until they move here in July. It's going to be nice having my bff back! We are going to see them again on Monday, spend the day together. I'm not sure doing what but we will come up with something, I told Chantal whatever they want to do we are cool with. Then I think we will see them again on Tuesday after work before they go home. Then its just a month and they will be here! The house they are getting is only 15 minutes or so, driving, from us so we will get to see each other often!

And finally, I so smart! I was talking to my dad tonight and he suggested we check on ebay or a scrap yard for the mirror and that we could save a ton of money with it and he's right! We're saving like 400$, which is a huge relief. It's been ordered and should be shipped on Thursday because of the holiday weekend.

I have to win at some point....right?

This week has been awful. Beyond awful really. It has had its up's, Chantal is in town house hunting, and we went to the Tulip Fest last weekend. But the hits keep on coming this week, literally and figuratively.

Ollie saw the Doctor on Wed. He hasn't been drinking much over the last few weeks and we started getting worried about dehydration. The dr thinks its either because of a lactose intolerance, drinking makes him feel bad and so he doesn't want to drink, or reflux again, drinking makes him feel bad so he doesn't want to drink. So now all dairy had been cut out from his diet for the next 2 weeks and he is on Nutramegin for his formula, we have to go and see a pediatrician at the hospital and we have to go back to dr besner in a month. When we got to the dr's office though Jonathan hit a parked car. Our mirror is broken and there are a couple dents, nothing major, but the mirror is going to cost 500$ to replace.

Yesterday Jonathan took the day off work (today as well) and we went and dropped Olivier off for the morning and when we got there we got a huge lecture because some parents had complained to the co ordinator of the in home day cares that they were closing for 2 months and wanted people to pay (well duh they're going to complain!). Jonathan said we had contacted them to find out some information only and the 5 minute lecture turned into a 30 minute one. Yeah. I wasn't impressed. Today we went to pick him up at lunch and Hassan reminded us our 3 month trial contract was up on June 4 and Jonathan asked if they were going to take us back. I know its going to be a no. I'm positive because he opened his big mouth yesterday and said we had emailed the coordinator. We were told we would discuss is next week. So now we are pretty sure we have to find a new daycare but none that are subsidized have any places right now so the minimum we will be paying per day is 20$ rather than the 7$. And it can go up as high as 45$ a day I saw this afternoon checking online. We don't have that kind of money to pay, its insane!

This week just plain sucks.

Say What? You got me what?! I got what?!

My little booter is 10 months old on Monday! Only 2 more months and he'll be 1. Yes that's right. 1. When the hell did that happen? I dont think any year has gone as fast as this one. Ever. It just sped along, never bothering to ask if I wanted it to slow down. I guess this just means we're one year closer to potty training? Yea one thing I will not miss is changing diapers, although I am a pro now. I can change a squirming,trying to roll over so I can crawl away or climb something, 10 month old.

I got my pressies from my dad on Thursday. All the things he bought for me while he was away. I got spoiled. Dylan says I've only just realised how spoiled I really am since its the first time I admitted it. I think he was proud of that moment actually....Anyways, back to my presents. First I my dad knows me well...almost too well. Most people would have been like, you got me a mug from starbucks? but I was like, I got a mug from a starbucks in istanbul!! I truly was excited. I heart starbucks...with a passion. One year for Christmas he got me a coffee grinder and kilo of starbucks beans. That was a great christmas.....anyways, moving on. Then I got this little trinkety bronzy thingy from egypt, it opens up and is lined with velvet, I can put my earrings I wear everyday in there or rings (if I had any lol) or whatever in there. I really like and its deceptively heavy. After that I got...a pashmina scarf. At first I was like wtf? Never in my have I ever wanted one. 2 minutes after opening it though, I decided I want more. Many more. Then I got a book mark, papyrus with my name in hieroglyphics on it. OH! And I got a pretty new leather purse from Istanbul as well. It's now my everyday purse. Then came a curiously shaped gift, the box was sloped and kind of rounded. Hmmmm I thought, what could this be? As soon as I opened it I kinda freaked out a little. I got pearls! Thats right people. Pearls. And not just a pair of earrings, or a bracelet. I got the whole kit! Necklace, earrings and bracelet. After that I can't tell you what I got because nothing tops pearls from dubai!

Walking!

Ok so it's with a little help from his walker but the point is Ollie is walking! On his own! 

Universal Truths

So I was reading my friend Brandy's blog and she posted this and I'm so stealing it and posting it here. It gave me a laugh, I hope it does the same for you!

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

The Month of Melanie has begun, sit back and enjoy the show, I know I will!

This evening, while chatting on MSN, my friend Lauren informed me that I needed to update my blog, so this post is just for her. In all honesty I had been meaning too, I just haven't gotten around to it. I've been kinda busy and such. But right now everyone is in bed (and I should be too since I got up at the ungodly hour of 5.30 this morning), but I'm not. Because I'm here. Who am I kidding, I'm actually on Facebook. Like usual.

Today was my first Mothers Day. It was good. I got a pretty necklace and earrings. They haven't arrived though, even though Jonathan bought them a week ago and paid the extra shipping to have them sent express they didn't arrive on time, oh well, the mail is starting back again tomorrow so I'm sure it'll be there. After that we got ribs for supper, which is great because I have been craving them for weeks now. I called my mom, she wasn't there and my stepmom, she wasn't there either. I left a message for my step mom saying I would call back. I forgot until 20 minutes ago and its past 10 in Halifax so now its too late to call. I called my mom back and talked to her for about 10 seconds. She's tired. She's spending the next 2 nights at my grandparents place helping my grandma with my grandpa. Then my Aunt Debbie goes for a few nights then my mom...you get the idea.

Chantal knows when she is coming house hunting...on the 19th until the 26th! I'm excited, a week of Chantal here. I wont get to see her a ton since they will be looking for house but still a couple times is better than none. Then on the 27th its....my birthday. Yea theres not much enthusiasm for anything but a present, because I'm turning 27 this year. Thats right 3 years away from the big 3-0. Wow. When did I get so old??
