So… Nana stayed over last night to watch Oliver for 1 more day, making sure he’s good and ready to go back to day care. The fever hasn’t returned, so we’re looking good! I was supposed to have meetings at work today, but some drama went down earlier in the day and everyone left. Fine…
Porcupine Balls and Apple Crisp
Porcupine Balls Ignore the name, they’re just meatballs with rice in them that puffs out the sides, hence the “porcupine” moniker. This is a family favourite, passed down to me from my Nana, but I’ve tweaked it a lot over the last 4 years and finally have a perfected recipe. Enjoy Prep time: 15 minutes…
Monday blues
Well, week two of work had started and it was actually, somehow, harder then week one for me. I don’t know what I had convinced myself of subconsciously, but my mind was not up for going to work for another week. Especially with Oliver sick. Thankfully, Nana’s coming to watch him today (and tomorrow), so…
The end of the weekend
Sunday was my day to sleep in, and I managed to do so until 8:30. Balls. That is so not sleeping in, but I just had a million things running through my mind and was worried about Oliver. I’d be up at 3am with him because his fever was running high still so I gave him…
Visiting, and the start of an "Oh crap" weekend
So, Aunt Mary, Uncle Peter, and Baki are back from Croatia, and they demanded a visit from Oliver this weekend. Ok, fair enough. I got up with Oliver, and we had a pretty productive morning. I made him french toast for breakfast then parked his stroller in front of the back walkout, because the guys…
Movie Night!
Friday was a normal day at work. Truth be told I totally slacked off, relaxing more then anything and taking some time to read more of the photography courses that I’ve been working through. I was able to get Nana and Papa to babysit Oliver for a couple of hours tonight so that Bo and…
Revelation
Today I matched my underware to my flip flops and cardigan. Yeah.
Not a fun night
Today was pretty much a bullshit day. Work was work, but nicely broken up Oliver (who was happy as usual). Before going home we ran over to Wal-mart so that I could buy some Tupperware to organize the pantry. This is where the crappy night begins. When I pulled into the driveway Oliver fell asleep…
Huh.
I just realized that for the first time ever I’m actually feeling like an adult. Apparently it took being a mom to finally feel like I could let myself grow up. It’s nice.
I hate Wednesday’s
fOh lawd, do I ever hate Wednesday’s! I used to love them too. When I was in college, I had Wednesday’s off (not because of too much work to catch up on, more likely because they couldn’t come up with any more ridiculous advertising / design courses to fill the time). Anyway, my body was…
A den of sick…blahhhhh
Day two of work was pretty much the same as day one, only today I was able to remember the password to my computer. Gold star! Still, it’s insane how disconnected I feel to everything, like I know a secret no one else does and because of that being here is almost like an out…
Turkey Parmigina and Mini Banana Muffins
Turkey Parmigiana This recipe is one that I’ve tucked into my “perfected” file. I basically cook a recipe over and over again, trying to simplify everything I can while making absolutely fantastic tasting food (taste always comes first though, I just save the time consuming dishes for weekends). Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20…
Back to Work
So, apparently it’s been a year since Oliver was born. It sure as hell didn’t feel like it. I’d say that the alarm woke me up at 5:45, but I literally did not sleep last night, save for 15 minutes while Bo was in with Oliver around 4:30. My mind just couldn’t quite grasp the…
Ah-Chew
Just sneezed and it echoed through the entire house. Where is this kitchen guy?!
Oh dear lord.
Where in the F*&% did the last 6 months go? I mean, I lose everything, but six months? That’s even a little much for me. So, life’s been fantastic, the house is great, blah blah blah. My son, my BABY, had his first half day of daycare yesterday. This, in anticipation of my going back…
Monday December 14, 2009
Today was a bit on the busy and hectic side. After Oliver’s first feeding he played for a bit and then napped. While he did that I got everything ready for us to go out later, and did the menu for the week. After his second feeding we loaded into the car and headed to…
