It’s been awhile..

I haven’t posted in over a week almost two weeks! Yikes. Just as I thought I was doing good with keeping up in here.

Everyone here has been battling a cold for almost a week now. Callie was the first to get it. Wednesday she had a fever and just wasn’t herself, so we took her to see the paediatrician. Her left ear(which she had been pulling at) looked “suspicious”. So he put her on some anti-biotics to clear it up. Next Jay got a sore throat. Then Jaxson got a fever. Now all over us are stuffed up with low grade fevers and congestion. I’ve seen enough snot in the past few days to last me a lifetime, although I do think it’s clearing up around here.

Callie is now walking. It’s so adorable! I love the first little while when they try out their legs on their own. So unsure, but so determined. In a few months time, I’m sure I will be banging my head off of the wall with both of them going different directions at fast paces.

We got a van last Friday. I looooove it! It’s a 2001(or 2000?) Pontiac Montana. It can seat 8 and has all the bells and whistles. I’m very happy with it. It’s so easy to put the kids in and get them out, not to mention no more cramming my stroller into a trunk or worrying about it getting stolen if I leave it in the bed of the truck. It’s in excellent shape, buthas high kms on it. I’ve driven it a few times, it’s different than driving a small car, it’s definately going to take some getting used to.

Shortly after getting the van(I believe it was the same day as the picture above was taken), we had to get Jaxson a new car seat. He could get out of the one we had for him no matter what we tried. I was at my breaking point and couldn’t do it anymore. So now he’s in a Cosco(?) Alpha Omega and CANNOT reach the harness adjuster anymore. When he found that one out, it was a bittersweet moment. Mommy laughed, and Jaxson cried. Bad mommy.

On Sunday, I had made arrangements with a woman to by a car seat from me that lived in Kingston. I talked to her through email directly before we left making sure the plans were set in stone. We were to meet at the Cataraqui Town Center at 3:15 PM. I called her on my way there. Everything was still good to go.
We get there around 3:10. We wait and look for her car. And wait. And wait. I call, and call. No answer. So at 4PM, I got sick of waiting around and we went inside to walk around. A few minutes later, I checked my email from my phone and she EMAILS me. She doesn’t call me back at all. She wants to know if I will either accept a post-dated cheque or come back next week. Um, how about NO? I drove 45 minutes, to wait more than 45 minutes with my two small children to sell you something, and you don’t even have the decency to call me to let me know you’re not coming?

I better get off of here since it’s the early morning hours, the kids will be waking me up sooner than I know it most likely. Tomorrow MIL is picking them up in the afternoon while Jay is at work so I can actually get some cleaning done. And maybe a nap. Well, maybe just a nap.
