Oh my!
Sad news - today, after 11 years, we put JD (our black cat) down. He had been sick for a while and it was getting ot the point where I couldn't keep up to his little messes. So it was a trip to the vet today and to the conclusion that JD was best off in peace. ... 215$ later?! Yes - my options were take him back to dispose of (50$), cremations (128$+fees), or paw prints package including cremation (500$). Hmmm ... that just didn't seem right. Anyhow, after 11 years - he is at peace and we are missing him.
So it's been crazy! But did you expect any less? Thursday my great friend Harriet took Hannah for the day (to the museum, mcdonalds, and bayshore) while I took Jakey to the docs, did groceries, liquor store run, and cooked for Ced's family - we did our Christmas dinner that night. It turned out that Jakey has some asthma and it isn't the sickly cough that's going around. After a day with mostly 1 kid (kinda a nice treat) I felt refreshed! Dinner went great, the kids got some pretty cool todays as did I!!! I got this incredible All-In-One Breadmaker! I'm in love ... AND ... a popcorn maker ... AND ... A LULULEMON gift card! I love love love those!
Kids went to bed about 10:30ish pm. Yikes.
And with some moody kids ... Friday begun! I had Jodie and her kids over in the morning while I was watching Sydney. Lots of kids, not a ton of mess, and some hungry mouths :). We all had a great time! I made my first loaf of bread - not so great. Next time it will be better! Then the kids chilled all afternoon while I got to organize/clean! At 7pm we shipped the kids off to Mini Muffins (Jakey's preschool - Hannah used to go there) for a PJ Party/babysitting service. Nothing like taking the kids out at 7pm ... they love it! I'm super sarcastic! Ced and I met Ian/Amanda/my Dad at Giovanni's for a super yummy dinner! God it was great! ... 3 hours later - we go to get the kids and hit traffic on the queensway ... 11pm we finally got the kids ... even worse - Hannah was still awake! Yikes.
On Saturday we stayed in. Yes, in. Taylor came over to play with Hannah (poor Jakey). I got tons done around the house and cooked tons of awesome meals to eat/enjoy! At night, for the first time ever, we used our 14 year old neighbor. I told her that she could play with the kids and never needed to put them to bed unless she felt comfy to do so. At 11:30pm we got home and the kids were in bed and sleeping - awesome! The kids loved her to. Phewf! It was the first time I've used someone that young. We watched the Cowboys beat NO at Ang & Mo's. It was awesome! Romo proved himself and the food/drinks were great :)
Football day! It was perfect! A quick trip to Costco in the morning ... Geeze I love that place! And of course it was home in time to make our picks - seriously - I love Sundays! Kids played, I cooked, knitted, yes knitted, and got the house a bit cleaner. We jetted to East Side's at night for a quick bar-side dinner then home. We were all pooped.
Finally today, errands in the morning and the unfortunate vet appointment in the afternoon. Right now I'm watching the MNF game and the Giant's are just having fun :)
Oh - meant to mention about today - while I was cleaning the garage, both kids came out to join me - all by Jakey's self he got his jacket on, boots on, and hat on! Way to go! However stay in the house next time Mr. Jakey!
Coffee is crucial,
Sharon
