Daddy's day out!

I made Robin go out with his friend Chris today. I think that it is important for the Dad's to get out as well as us Mom's.
So he is off with his friend right now. And I took it upon myself to suggest to Chris that I will look after their one and only daughter while they are out (Mom---Joy is at work today).
Bronwyn is two. Just a month older than Justin to the day.
So yup here I am on a Saturday afternoon looking after THREE kids under the age of five. Two still in diapers too I remind you.
I really was not sure what to expect once Hubby left. But they are actually being VERY good.
Bronwyn is a very quite girl. An only child says it all! She has barely said two words except for "NO Justin!" Too funny.
Bronwyn will be playing by herself and Justin will come up and try and take the toy that she is playing with out of her hands. Probably normal for a two year old when another little person comes into his house and plays with HIS toys!
But all in all it is a good afternoon. No major mishaps.My fingers are crossed that there is none. I still have probably about one hour or so left with these three Monsters!
I sure hope Hubby is having a great time. As it will be awhile before I let him have a Daddy's time out with out me again! LOL!
And I better get pay back tonight! Heeee!!! :)

I am getting too old!

Robin and I went out Saturday night with some of his ex co workers from Netpro. I was supposed to be the designated driver. Well, that did not happen. Robin seemed ok with it. Maybe a bit disappointed but he was ok once he bought smokes. I owe him for that big time! I drank quite a bit in fact. Ordered a litre of wine at the alehouse and I though that was all I would have. Nope guess again. We had super there then went to Fin Bars (I think it's called) at the Casino. Had another litre plus a glass. AND two tequilla shots. Not good at all! I do not remember leaving! Do not remember walking to the car and I certainly so not remember the drive home. I was past out before Michelle (babysitter) left the house. Poor Robin had to wake me up and tell me to get undressed for bed. What a man he is to put up with me! But I sure did have fun at the beginning of the night. Not the end of the night though!
Luckily I did not get sick but I sure felt awful on Sunday and I think also on Monday and even today too. Hard to tell as I am tired. Could be coming down with something. Not too sure if it's dehydration or sick! Who knows.
All I know is that I am getting too old to do silly things like I did this weekend. It is just not worth it when you have kids. And you have responsabilities! And a VERY carring and loving Husband. Who I love very much!!! :)
But that is for another post (or blog LOL)

I had a great Morning!

I got asked to help out in Hannah's preschool today. Oh my. Was it ever fun. They had free play first thing and it was fun to watch the kids/ Hannah play. Then after that is was a pretty structured morning. We did crafts ,did circle time,sang songs,had a snack and the Teacher even made a treat for the kids today. She made them all a smoothy. Strawberry and Banana smoothy. It was eat healthy week this week. Then we all went to the gym and I got to see how Hannah plays with he best friend Nirah. I was sooo much fun to watch them together. I took Justin with me of course and he was really good. It was the end of the class when he decided to take a tanrum! He just did not want to leave. He screamed ,cried, threw his boots off at least three times. Holy cow! What am I going to do with that kid.
I did feel bad for one little boy. He needed extra attention. He did not know how to use sisscors properly and he did not know how to print his name. I am not sure if he had a learning disability and either did the teacher! The Mom has not said a wrod to the teachers what so ever. I thought this was just odd! Hopefully going to school will help him out. I just felt bad for him and the teacher! I guess each child learns on his own schedule.
SO all in all it was a great morninig! And I sure hope they are short staffed again as I would help out in a heart beat!

We just got back from Walmart. Hannah is going to Nirah's Birthday party on Saturday so we had to go out and get her a gift. Justin is now still asleep in the car. Sigh!
We went to his Just For Two class this am. Man, did he take several temper tantrums! He kicked his boots off and hit the floor. I mean Justin does take his tantrums but nothing like this. SO I picked him up boots off and all and marched him to the car! I was thinking about going to Walmart then but decicied against it. Who wants to take cranky kids shopping? Heck not me!
So we came home,had lunch. I tried to put Justin down for a nap but that did not work. SO I decided to go to Walmart then. Almost $100.00 later!! Shhhh don't tell Hubby!! LOL!
I got myself new undies and new socks ( wow how exciting is that huh?) plus other stuff too. Ewww I got a new strainer with a base on it! Now that IS exciting!! LOL!!! :)
Any how, yes, Justin is still sleeping in the car and I must go make Super now. Sigh! That is another blog for another time (my new cooking skills)
Bye for now everyone! Happy reading!

My two life changing goals!

Me and my Hubby went out last night by our selves. It was soo nice. It opened my eyes up to some changes that I need to do for myself.
One of them is to start being nicer to my kids. I need to stop yelling and talk to them. Treat them as human beings with feelings. I just get sooo frustrated when they don't listen to me. I need to stay calm and TALK to them. Not to yell but to talk. Then maybe I would not feel like I was living in a zoo all the time. Maybe my kids will actually start listening to me and they might stop yelling as well.
Second. I need to loose weight. I need to stop eating after 8:oopm. And I need to start to drink more water. Cut back on tea (mmm tea) and maybe my alchol. Don't get me wrong. I really do not drink that much. I might have a glass at night. If that. Nothing major. But still I should be drinking water. I should really be exercising more as well. I am glad that the clocks have moved ahead as it is lighter at night longer now. I can finaly go back to my nightly walks after putting the kids to bed. And I also want to start lifting weights with Robin again.
So yes, those are my two life changing things I need to work on! They will be diffucult as I have been doing both for soo long now. But it will make me a better person for sure! And my kids will be happier too!
