What he said: "don't like it this one pillow"
What I heard: "I liked my Lighting McQueen pillow case, why did you have to put it in the laundry this morning and not have it dried by naptime???"

A week goes by quickly!
Monday: Exciting times. Took the car to the carwash after supper. Woohoo!
Tuesday: Must have been pretty quiet, don't remember what we did....
Wednesday: Daddy's night to cook. Chance did not eat it.
Thursday: Big Lego session in the living room after supper. We built cars, boats, cranes, houses, etc. All of a sudden we are not brushing our teeth anymore, apparently.
Friday: When I opened Chance's bedroom door to wake him up in the morning, I couldn't open it the whole way because he was sleeping on the floor. Must have gotten up in the night and fell asleep in the middle of the floor. Pizza and a movie night....and popcorn! We watched the first half of Monsters Inc.

12:30 PM Back to work! Work, work, work!
4:30 PM home time, meet Cam in car 15 mins. later.
5:15 PM pick up Chance. Unless there is poor weather, then we don't pick him up until 5:45.

7:45 PM read a story & tuck Chance in for bed
8:00 PM relax!!!
9:30 PM bedtime & start it all over again!
Have seen the chiropractor 3x this week. I got an x-ray taken in December after my neck started hurting again and could not believe the image the doctor showed me -- to put it in her words, my neck was "smashed and re-stacked". Everytime I think of that fall I took I just shudder and thank my lucky stars that it wasn't worse.
I got a headset at work to use while on the phone -- I would guess I spend between 2 an 4 hours a day on that phone, usually with it tucked into the crook of my neck. This is not helping the neck situation! So my lovely admin assistant bought me a headset to use and I love it.
Cam is curling tonight and Chance is in bed, he was really tired tonight and quite grumpy AND accident prone. I think he gets that from me. He was playing with a toy and then for some reason lifted it above his face, looked up and then dropped the toy, cut his lip a little. Then later he was wobbly-walking around and bumped into the couch, it just sent him into hysterics, my guess is that he maybe bit his lip again. Fed him supper, leftover night so he just picked at things a bit although ate all his carrots and dip and 2 glasses of milk. He had a 30 second bath as he was screaming mad about being in the tub and then laid on the couch and watched Cars. I think that is 40,067th time. Read a new book "The Paper Bag Princess" and "Pirates" then lights out. He got up out of bed and banged on the door, had to turn him around and re-tuck him in, then he cried for 2 minutes and all has been quiet since.

I love this joke
Forgot to post it at Xmas time. My mom sent it to me a few years back and it always makes me laugh.
Christmas Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequilla
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar... Beat again.
At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup ... just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor...
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

No time to write!!
I can't believe how incredibly packed this December was. Time flies when you're having fun! Right???
Work has really picked up the pace with new corporate restructuring leaving me the only geologist left in my group. I now work with a third of the people that I used to, very sad as I really enjoyed my new team. Work will be quite busy for next few months but then will tail off as projects reach completion.
Chance is changing by the minute and we can't believe half the stuff that comes out of his mouth. He is now sleeping in his big boy bed, due to a Christmas gift of Lightning McQueen sheets and a blanket. It has been fantastic as he is free to wake up on his own in the mornings and usually plays quietly in his bedroom until 8 or 8:30 AM. What a luxury to wake up to (albeit weak) sunlight and a toddler tapping on the door rather than a frustrated kid who has tossed his soother and blanket from the crib out of frustration only to be desperate to get them back. Given Chance's new unsupervised time in his bedroom, we had to babyproof a little bit more to ensure that he won't get hurt while he's roaming around in the early hours. This AM when I opened the door he was pushing a laundry basket around in his room and he told me it was "his boat". He had a teddy bear, his soother and blanket, one Lightning McQueen slipper and a set of Fisher Price pliers aboard.
We purchased a recumbent stationary bike at a fitness store just before Xmas holidays. Put it together (sales person said it would take 45 mins and it took probably closer to an hour and 15 mins, not bad) and have been in love with it since. Chance is happy to play on his own while I cycle, he either plays with his trains, blocks, or watches a movie. Cam likes to ride it too and I think it will be a good investment in our health. I have a goal to lose 15 to 20 lbs but don't know how realistic that is, will probably talk it over with someone at my downtown YMCA, they have nutrition and weight loss counselling services. If I was 15 lbs lighter that would be the same as my pre-preganancy weight. If I was 20 lbs lighter that would be the lightest weight I've ever been. I am not sure if I am just setting myself up for frustration with this goal. I am changing shape but not losing weight despite eating less and hitting the gym and it is frustrating as I would like to see at least some change in weight (down please, not up!).
We all had colds for the holidays and it has only been the last day or two that Cam and I have been able to smell our Christmas tree. Chance helped me take it down yesterday, stashing all the ornaments in boxes for me and then helping pack the little boxes into a big plastic tote box. Cameron donned gloves and pitched the tree outside in the snowbank, there are tree drop off points throughout the city and so that is our task tomorrow. Not too many needles dropped, until Cam nearly fell down the stairs, the jolt shook a good number of them off the tree but was able to sweep them up (lino on landing).
Well am feeling sleepy now, so will try to go back to bed. Cam purchased an XBox game system for himself this Xmas, and a game featuring zombies. It is starting to get to me as I have been having zombie nightmares last 2 or 3 nights!
