This week has been crazy. I know that we're usually always busy, but this week for me has been different. Jason has been on afternoons, so I've had to do the parenting by myself at night. Even though its been hectic, I think I enjoy it :)

I've been leaving work at 3 every day this week. I've found time to fit in a visit to the dentist for Joey (no cavities!), library time, an emergency Walmart excursion for diapers, sorting and organizing the toys(... again), and I've done it all on my own. I'm proud of myself for that! The kids have been great, they even cleaned up their toys all on their own tonight, and we've had fun. I've really enjoyed the extra time with the kids. I kind of wish that I could do this every day, but I know I won't be happy when I see the big chunk missing from my paycheque next week.

Chris is starting to talk more, finally. He woke up around 5am yesterday (and again today) and I just brought him in to sleep in my bed. At first he wanted to watch tv, pointing to the tv and saying "on, on". I told him no, that it was still nighttime and time to sleep. Then he started saying "e,e,e,e". I had no idea what he was saying, so I asked him to use his big boy words. Again, he said "e,e,e,e". I said again that I didn't know what he meant. Then he grabbed my cheeks in his chubby little hands, got right in my face, and said "num nums"! I guess he was saying "eat, eat" and I just didn't realize it! Couldn't help but laugh - he uses big boy words and I can't understand him, he uses "num nums" and I completely understand! Go figure.

Good news today - I won on Dave fm :) This time it was an oil change and a copy of the Mr. Woodcock dvd. Joey & I are going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. That's our outing for the day, and Joey's excited about going to the radio station! He's been before, but for some reason he enjoys it there. I just enjoy the time that I get to spend one on one with him before we pick Chris up from daycare!

For once I have no hamster news. We're still on Jessie 2, so we're hoping that this one will last for a while. Joey still doesn't know that this is the 2nd Jessie, even though its completely different from the last one! Its much bigger, and not as active as the last one.... all this one wants to do is sleep and look around at everyone. It tries to climb the bars of the cage and then just gives up! Kinda comical really, but cute.

The last post caused a little bit of... um... an issue. I just want to say that everything is ok, I'm in a better mood, and I still invite everyone to comment whenever and however they want, positive or negative. I don't delete comments, unless they are just stupid/gross/completely rude. I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I love that the comments make people discuss things. So keep the comments coming people!

What else to tell??? Can't think of anything else right now. Besides, I still have to get the dishwasher loaded and finish the laundry before Celebrity Apprentice (Go Gene Simmons!)! I'm a busy mommy lately! Good night :)
