So as you can see it is 3:10am, and I can't sleep. I went to bed at 10pm and woke four hours later. Both Mike and I have been stressed due to Heather being sick again. Babies, I tell you--if it's not one thing, it's another. Also, both of us have been complaining about sore throats and runny noses. The more I think about it, getting a flu shot seems like a good idea. I just feel terrible for Moo though. First teething, then stomach issues that coincide with starting solid foods, allergic reaction to peaches (skin rash) and now a really bad cough with a runny nose. We've been keeping her cold air vaporizer on all night, and sometimes it works. Wednesday, Heather and I made a treck out to see Amanda. We chatted for some hours and then rented "The Pursuit of Happyness" which was alright, and not as pro-America as I originally thought it would be. Heather slept the entire time...in my arms however, so any thought of taking a bathroom break was out of the question. Then we met Mike and had dinner at Pepitas, which was good. Another customer ranted and raved about how good Moo was during the entire meal...it's nice to have some acknowledgement about Moo...she is a pretty amazing girl. After dinner we walked for quite some time. By the end of our excursion all of us were feeling the Mexican food and so we parted with Amanda and went home.
Thursday night was Mike's grandma, Thelma, 83rd birthday. About 20 family members all went to the Cannery for dinner. It was nice to see everyone, and most of them hadn't seen Heather since Christmas. I enjoyed myself until it came to ordering. Everything was either seafood or meat wrapped in dairy (don't ask), so they made me a salad with chicken on it. The salad arrived with out dressing. Since I felt like such a burden inregards to my allergies, I just ate the damned salad and kept my mouth shut. The coffee was nice though.
I spent the greater part of yesterday in Old Navy. Lisa needed more clothes, and since I love Old Navy and always spend a fortune there (even when I can't afford it) I accepted her invitation. I was able to find a pair of jeans which in itself is a miracle...I have pant issues. I've been actually quite horrible with shopping recently. I think I am hiding behind my debit card and not dealing with the bigger issues. I am however, starting to think up a birthday wish list...I know, I've got six weeks. Anyway, I walked a way with a pair of jeans, a dress, flip flops, bikini top (for under dresses...me in a bathing suit...never...even when I was pregnant and could have gotten away with a giant belly and a fat ass I wouldn't wear a bathing suit), a cotton hoodie, pants for Moo and shorts for Mike. Actually Mike is the one that needs new clothes...desperately needs new clothes. At least he has suit now.
I don't think I'll be doing anything for my birthday this year. I will most likely be in Victoria still, due to Matt's wedding. The wedding is on the 12th, and my birthday is on the 14th. I am thinking though, that I might like to be here to celebrate mother's day with Moo, since it'll be my first. I think we'll be staying with Trenna and Mal, so we'll see how long we can push their welcome. All I know is that I want a new carrier for Moo, one that I can put her in when I go on hikes because there is no way I am pushing her in a stroller through uphill rocky trails. Something sturdy and that will feel comfortable on my back. I also want this gold owl pendant that I saw while shopping. I keep hinting to Mike, and hey, it could be from both Mike and Heather. Other than that, it's fair game.
Today we met my mum for our usual saturday morning breakfast. I normally don't eat breakfast, but for some reason I thought I would get scrambled eggs...now I remember why I don't eat breakfast. Then we spent the rest of the day relaxing and doing some serious cleaning. It was like our bedroom blew up. Also, Heather is crawling now, so we have got to start baby proofing everything! She started crawling without any warning. Tomorrow, we're celebrating Easter early, and since it's Heather's first Easter my mum is making a complete turkey dinner. That kid is soo spoiled.
Well, I shall quit boring you. I really feel like painting right now, but all my supplies are in Moo's room, and I think that maybe I should try to get back to bed.
**The picture is Heather's passport picture. My mum laughed and laughed saying that she looked like a terrorist...yeah, ok mum.
