Domesticating Ari

Send Mr Plow..

I have now been snowbound since Friday. I wanna go out. Well not really but I want to have the option. We are supposed to get 20-30 more cenitmetres of snow today. So not cool. With temps averaging at -8 and a windschill of -20 IT's FREEZING. Brrr, this west coast girl is dying here. We neeeeeeever get snow and it seems it's been here forever and just might be a part of this winter. I kinda hope so but then I do like nice roads to drive on.

I have to go now and forage through the snow to walk Emma to school. Yay and thank GOD it's across the street.

Happy Birthday Josh

I love you forever

and a little reminder for me

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Wowzers did it ever snow the past few days. From the land of non existant winters, we sure got a blast of what is supposed to be winter weather. we ended up having over 2  feet of snow over the weekend.

After being outside and getting all wet and cold we have now been snowed in. My car... Well here is my car under this

So the bottom line is this, while snow is pretty to look at and vary rarely to play in, in the lower mainland of BC, we are snow virgins and cannot handle it. Snow tires? Was there really such a thing?

I guess I'll be finding out soon as I cannot go anywhere in this with my summer tires that are currently leaving my car completly useless.

Come on now..

STOP!!!! My car, oh how I love my car... But now my windsheild is cracked. My tires are bald and James is starting to hate it for some reason. I cannot handle the $ to fix a cracked windsheild. I have no friggin idea how the hell it happened. Was fine last night and then this morning as James is scraping ice off he notices is. Of course it looks like I had known about it but I swear to all my fellow bloggers.. I was out yesterday and it was PERFECT. My tires and rain+ice do not mix. I am so not looking forward to ice or rain this year. I slip and slide. Yesterday we had some freak hailstorm and let me tell you it was worse than snow. It covered everything. Roads, cars, houses and even though snow is bad... you know your up shits creek when it's hail because i's 100% ice ball compacted on the roads. It was lovely. NOT.

So it's Josh's party this afternoon and I have a house to clean, cable is out for some reason so that means cleaning with a 3 year old cling on will be what I get ... James is gone for breakfast with Emma and his dad and then they are dropping her off at her friends birthday party. It's going to be a busy morning and I am so not looking forward to it. I have 3.5 hours left to get it all done.

A little party anyone?

Little is what it's going to be. Josh's birthday is on Tuesday but his party is tomorrow and since he has no friends and my brothers have yet to realise it's important for them to be a part of these birthdays, it will be very small. My mom is coming from the island, My Dad and step mom and my friend Raeleen. That's it. James parents will pop by but not stay and Emma will be off at another birthday party that day. The good thing is it will really be a focus on just Josh. He deserves every moment of that. And once again, I decorated before his birthday. Sorry dude.

So hard

I lost my only reader these days so what I am going to write for. And to who? Nothing special is going on these days other than my sons 3rd b-day coming up on Tuesday. He's such a handful and I am lost already at how to handle this boy. My daughter was great untill she was 4 or 5 and she started getting ..well grown up ish. But he's 3. Where is the love? The cuddles? All I hear is yelling, screaming, fighting and him telling me I don't love him anymore. Like helloooo?? Where the heck does he get that? Oh yeah that is thanks to my ever loving sweet daughter. I love the monkey see monkey do bit. NOT.

What a weekend so far..

We still  have tomorrow off too thanks to Remembrance Day. My mom and my sisters have been here since Friday and I am finally capable of hosting company. I love it. They are off doing rounds today and will be back later tonight. Tomorrow they go home. James also has to work tomorrow but at least Emma is off with me. I am starting to do Christmas cards today and I have music in the background. I only wish I had money to go mall shopping. I am needing some outside Christmas cheer. It's raining here again and my mom brought our old dog here with her so we have 2 dogs here that desperalty should be outside but since it's monsooning, they are here, hovering on my every move.

Good Morning

Wow what a change in the weather. It's beautiful outside and my whole demeanor has changed. Rain sucks and I need a little sun every few days just to give me some light. I got it today :) It's chilly but nice. And tomorrow is my birthday so I am a little excited about that. I know we have no money this year so I know I won't be getting anything material but I am excited to see what James will do instead. He always does something neat for me. He's a  great guy. Could be the sun talking but you know, when they're good, they're great and when they are bad.... well we are working on those times. He's come a long way and having an affair really made things tough. Being well over a year now we are starting to live not on eggshells again. Kudos to any couple who has chosen to stay together and work it out after and affair. This is and always will be the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
