Coughing, coffee & buns

Since it has been a while I guess I should write something. Ok a few updates... Jersey has had a cough since September, we have tried many things, finally it has seemed that puffers have worked for her. She still coughs until she throws up but not as often as it was.
Yesterday morning I was driving Nikyla to nursery school and usually I can make a quick stop at Tim's before. I got there and the line was so long it was going to take too long. Dan was just leaving Tim's and had already got his coffee so I couldn't even ask him to pick me one up. Oh well, no biggie. I head to the school and I realize that we forgot Nikyla's backpack at home. Race home to get it and then head back to the school and drop off Nikyla. She only cried a bit, so that was good. I head out the doors from the school and there is Dan with coffee and Cinnamon bun, my fav, in hand. That's my man!!

Weekends

On the weekends I like to 'do' things. We usually get up and all watch Nikyla dance, then we head somewhere after for a little family shopping. This weekend though I don't know if we will. We were suppose to go to Hershey's with our neighbor and her daughter, however I am sure you have all heard by now it is closed down. SO, either we post-pone and go another time OR I might suggest to go see a movie. Either Happy Feet or The Santa Clause 3... OR go to the Children's Museum (this website needs major work) on Sunday and then after watch the Imax Ocean movie. Decisions, decisions....

Do you believe the hype

Maybe I hyped up or looked forward to this day a little too much. Jersey slept from 12am - 6am then gave her a bottle and continued to sleep until 8am. Nikyla, on the other hand she woke up at 1-1:30am, she couldn't stop coughing, then up for the day at 7am, as usual. Nikyla almost NEVER sleeps in, a very rare occasion if she does. So I get up with Nikyla and Dan gets up with Jersey, we get the kids ready I take them off to the sitters, go to work for about 5 minutes to check on something then head to Tim's and go home. While I was doing that Dan was at home taking a shower and was ready to roll once I got home. We went into town to do some shopping and see our friends new baby. I asked Dan where he would like to go shopping he said, "it's a secret", jokingly. I said let's go to Bayshore, he said he didn't want to. I was in a pretty easy going mood and I said "wherever is good for me". BIG MISTAKE right there. So his surprise was that he wanted to visit Home Depot, The Brick, Futureshop, and Best Buy... yippee do, can you hear the excitement?? What did I just agree to, I really wish he had of told me that so he could have dropped me off at Bayshore and we both would have been happier. So around 12:15 we headed to Ikea, where I had asked to go to but it was a zoo, so I changed my mind. I called our friend, that had the baby and she said it wasn't a good day, granted I know what that is like but I revolved my day around us going to see her. It was too bad, I was looking forward to seeing their wee one but hopefully we'll be able to try again some time. Dan heard my disappointment and offered to head to Bayshore or Wal-Mart, but I wasn't in the mood anymore. I had wanted to sleep in during the day or take a nap, so I said just head home. Dan set up his stereo system and speakers while I napped. Then I went to go and get the kids, that's it. No nothing for me, I had planned on buying a bra and cute little scarf for me and my new jacket I had. Oh well I did have a great day off with Dan nonetheless.

Anticipation

For the first time since Nikyla has been born, Dan and I will have the house to ourselves on Monday!! I never thought I would see this day so soon... Dan and I both have a stat day on Monday and the kids are going to go to the sitters. Our selfish day, I can't WAIT!! We have planned to sleep the morning away and in the afternoon go in town to visit our friend who just had their first baby and go shopping. Shopping, just Dan and I, that's it, no wee ones. First I said we need to stay home and clean up the house, then after a second I said screw it we are doing whatever we want. I asked my MIL the other day if she would take our kids for an afternoon while we cleaned the house, we'll do it then... probably :)

"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to...

I think we, the have hit a great milestone, knock on wood with Nikyla. She has started to, thank the Lord, not mind going to the sitters. Tomorrow might be different but the past couple times have been half decent, I hope it keeps up.
That being said, I picked up Nikyla after work today and
she said to me "Where are we going to now?"
I said "Home".
Nikyla said "I don't want to go home."
I replied "Where would you like to go?"
She replied "Sesame Street".
Now how cute is that!!

Movie Review

We have been having a bit of an internet connection issue. So as to my 2 previous posts that are lost in cyberspace this week, here goes another try.
I am a bit hot and bothered tonight. You see my neighbour called me and she, another friend and I went to go and see a movie, Departed. The yummy/drool factor in this movie is over the top. Leonardo DiCaprio is H-O-T!! I am not a big Leo fan, I mean I like his movies but not ooh ahh I have to go see Leo type girl. Women run out and watch this amazing movie. Leo drooling aside, which is hard to do, it is an awesome movie. I give it 5/5 stars, loved it. My heart was racing the whole movie. Jack is phenomenal in it, as usual.
