House sitting SUCKS

OMG .... my moms house sucks!!!! Just so everyone is aware. There is nothing to do here and the animals I am ready to leave the door open and voila they are gone.
I can not sleep here ... Lola (dog) and Poops (Cat) are the worst animals in the universe. They run and play until like 3am ... scratch at the door, barking, whining, aawwwwwwwww
There is also nothing to do here ... not like at home where I have a million and one projects and or I could be cardmaking or scrapbooking. So I will not house sit again!!!

Tomorrow night is baseball ..YAY and Saturday morning is Mykaylas first soccer game :) I am sleeping at home on Sunday and YAY my mommy comes home Monday.

Sooo baby talk -

I am 35 weeks - and of course I have braxton hicks contractions and my body is preping its self for the big day!!! I have not been feeling so hot and getting my self worked up as I know what to expect this time.

Scrapbooking

We had our cardmaking party on Tuesday - I had a great time making a new card - and I bought well Brad bought me this new Card making book!!!! I can not wait for it to come in as they have these workshops in it and I am totally planning on doing one the second I get my hands on the book.

I am making "kits" so to speak for baby cards so I think I will try that out to!!! And I have a new plan that I am going to at least scrapbook 1 page a week to catch up a bit as I am still a year behind and with a new baby on the way I will have less time. So its time to get my creative wheels turning!! lol

If you want to come out and work on stuff too thats great - just pack up some of your things and meet me at my place!!

And it begins again

lol ... well our weekend was soooo great because Brad is home from Chicago!!! YAY.... when someone is away for a period of time it really does show how much you miss them in your everyday life.

Brad was soooo excited when he saw all the work we did in the back yard especially with the garden because he had no idea that I was changing it. And he loved his early daddy's day present of an organized shed w/ shelves and peg board and tool hanging stuff.!!!! so YAY for me!!

sooooo do you remember how Brad was suppose to be gone for 3 weeks not just 2. Well I agreed to watch my moms house and dog, cat and my 18 yr old brother while she was in Jamica..... soooo now I am in Grimsby for most of the week ..lol no Brad again!! but at least we are only a 1/2hr apart ... so if I miss him too much I can just drive up.

+ I left him a HUGE to do list!!! lol

OOOOHHHH YES Tuesday the scrapbooking / cardmaking party!!!! I am sooo excited going to get the prizes tomorrow!! Looking forward to getting my hands on Beccas stamp set!!! lol

well its a short one today ... and dont forget I am in Grimsby!!! sooooo Grimsby people call me at my moms to hang out!

Great Weekend

Sooooo ... I was so frustrated during the week that all the hours I spent out side working it still looked as if I had done NOTHING!!!! I couldn't move the outdoor toys and I could only make small trips with the wheel barrow for dirt it was taking forever.

I am soooooooooooo glad Lawrence came over on Friday cause we worked and organized Brads shed for daddys day :) Its soooo nice, we built shelves, hung peg board, a rake, shovel etc holder and 2 bike racks. Brad is going to be soooo suprised as you could hardly open the door to get in when we started.

Late Friday night Mykayla and I decided to head over to the in-laws as I really needed a brake from being with Mykayla 24-7 and she really needed a brake from me!!!
We spent the night, had a good day and then went into Port Colborne for a dance show... which was soo cute.

And ... the best news ever ... MARC is home YAY.... I went over to his brothers house for a little while to say hello and welcome him home :)

SUNDAY!!! YAY for today ... Thanks to my MOMMY and LAWRENCE we finished the lawn. Lawrence cut the grass that was sooooooooo high the lawn mower almost cut out while he was cutting and my mom whipper snippered the edges. Not only that but Lawrence brought down 4 HUGE wheel barrows full of dirt so my mom and i got the dirt finished in the new garden. And if that wasnt enough we moved Mykaylas outdoor toys so that it looked nice and organized and oh ya put back together. She now has her slide and swing set assembled, the sand box w/ umbrella set up and her play house.

One sad thing .... my mommy stole back her umbrella :( so now I have nooooooo shade so I really cant sit out with Mykayla. Good thing Brad comes home friday as that weekend we are going to go pick out the new backyard furniture - or at least buy the new table and umbrella.

soooooooooooooooooo here is my big THANK YOU MOMMY AND LAWRENCE I really would have not gotten it all done for Brad if you didn't help out.

Frustrating

SOOOOOO .... you know the one thing that I really dont like about being pregnant..... its not the back pain that hurts sooo much this time, its not that the baby is cutting off my oxygen and I keep passing out, its not that he is a kick boxer and almost knocks the wind out of me... really its not all the mornings and or nights that I havent felt good....

Its the part of feeling HELPLESS... I do noooot ask for help, I am not comfortable asking people to assist me in things that I can normally do .... and I really feel I still should be able to do. Is it pride or just me being stubborn I dont know.

But with Brad being gone and so many things around the house that need to be done .... I really feel like I need to step upto the plate and get it done.

• I need to add the dirt to the trenches so I can lay out the grass seed so the backyard is more kid friendly.


• I need to move the landscaping blocks around the garden as I am making it bigger and less square and more round ... then of course add the dirt and plant.


• I desperatly need my grass weed wacked and cut as the grass in areas is up to Mykaylas knees... and yes I wont be doing that my self as they both need to be inspected before the first seasons usage. - and I already tried the weed wacker and its not turning on :(


• I need to get my herbs into the big pots and moved out into the sun so I have alot of fresh herbs and such for the summer.


• AND ... I still need to organize Brads shed and hang some shelves, peg board, and clean it out!!!

SOOOOOOOO ..... this is me I suppose asking for HELP .. please if your free in the day at all and want to help me out with my list of to do.. please come over and give a helping hand.

Baby Info - 33 Weeks

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. Finding an easy position to sit in — let alone sleep — is becoming more of a challenge. And bumping into chairs and counters is par for the course.

Mommys Day Weekend / Chicago

Well needless to say my weekend was CRAZY!!!! Friday afternoon Brad got home and informed me that his baseball starts ... so we get Mykayla ready and off to HAMILTON we go for his game (Yes he plays on a hamilton team and we live in Welland...argggg) It ends up being a pretty late night and we sleep at the in-laws.

Saturday .... the day from "hell" so to speak. Pete comes to pick up Brad to go over and work on his deck and I am to pick him up at noon. Noon a time that I am really looking forward to as the afternoon is really the only time we are going to have time to spend together prior to him leaving to Chicago.... I get there and nooooooooooooooooo not ready to go they have to finish building this stair.. a job that should have at most taken an hour took 5 thats right 5 hours now its 5:00pm in the afternoon and we still have not had any quailty time... I decide to take Mykayla and go to my mommy's.

Sunday ... ooooooooh sunday my mom had this idea that having the WHOLE family to her house for a pot luck dinner would be a nice way to celebrate mothers day .... Since being pregnant being in a group .. ya not something I enjoy so I spent most of the day/night in my moms room hiding out. Brad wasn't there for the day as he was obviously out golfing with his mommy, but I did finally get to see him on the car ride home and when he packed and when we were sleeping..lol

This morning :( ooooooooooooooooooooo soooooo sad this morning, we were up and out of the house at 5:00am driving to the buffalo airport as Brad is now gone for 2 weeks to Chicago. I am sad that he is gone as I really hate being by myself in our house I scare myself at night time. However, I reallllyyyy will like the paycheck that he will get because he gets a travel bonus of 1.25 per hour and he will be working a full week with the possiblility of overtime. All of his food and everything is paid for so its only money coming in which is GREAT!!!

Well I have so much work planned out to keep me busy this week I have a 4 x4 x4 bag of dirt being delivered to my place so I can finish the backyard and lay some new grass seed. I have Lawrence coming up to clean out the shed and we are going to hang peg board and build shleves for brad as a suprise. David is coming up to inspect the lawn cutting thingy and the wipper snipper as Brad never got a chance to make sure evertything was fine on them .. hummmm what else ...
I need to go into Kitchner and get my buggy and possibly some more baby items .. :) YAY mom and I are going to have a blast with that!!!
OOOOh yes and this weeks activity with Mykayla is the Bird Kingdom !! shes pretty excited about going to see them! - if you wanna come out just let me know!

Thats all for now - baby doctor appt today .. wonder how many pounds I gained this last 2 weeks

Partys over - now to think about arriving baby

Well I am so proud to say that Mykaylas birthday party is now OVER!!!! It was a lot of work and preperation. I was up Saturday untill 3:30am with Becky finishing the cake and most of the decorations. I awoke really early with Brad to re-clean the house and set up. We had to hang all the decorations and set up the tea party. All in all the kids had a really great time and so did the adults, and of course Mykayla made out like a bandit once again.

Soooo.... with the party out of the way and Brad getting ready to leave for Chicago ... a realization has set in that OMG I am 32 weeks already can you believe that I have only 8 weeks left. I feel like I am nooooooooooooooooooooooooo where near ready this time around. When you are having a child of the opposite sex .. shockingly you need almost everything over again. Thanks to my mommy we have lots of clothes to get us started... THANKS MOM But I still need so much ... Just to name a few ....

1. Sit n Stand stroller
2. Baby Monitor (mine got lost)
3. Carry me near bassinet
4. swaddle wraps
5. receiving blankets
6. born free glass bottles
7. bibs

9. Kushies bassinet and crib sheets
10. Close to my heart baby sling (from becca)
