Hump Day

Monday was a lovely but busy day as me and the girls headed into the city. We drove the west end to pick up a coffee table from an LP member. It is really nice solid oak table that has a lift up top. It needs a wipe down and some wood polish and it will look nearly new. Next we headed to the north side to pick up the dolly diapers Susan (LP Kyliesmom) had sewn. She had also made blankets and packaged them in baby gift bags complete with paper. My girls love them. Susan was so sweet. I searched for her house and finally it clicked I had her number in my cell phone. I called and she went outside and made herself visible to me. I walk to her door, a complete stranger, and almost fell to my knees, begging, to use her washroom. She kindly obliged....THANK YOU!!! Susan I have some pictures of the girls with their stash that I will post.

Next we headed to Westmount to meet my cousin, Dolci, and her three kids. We had lunch and then let the kids have two rides on coin rides. We walked down the mall to see my aunt but she was busy so we chatted while the kids burned off some energy. We parted and I took the girls to Telus World of Science. I haven't been there in years, probably close to 10. We spent about 2 hours there. I would have like to spend more but I had other places to go. Anyway it was really fun. The girls loved everything and were kind of spinny. They finished one thing and wanted to see something else. I would like to go back and have more time. There favorite exhibit was the body. Ashley loved the Fart piano and Natasha loved smelly everything and then looking at what she just sniffed. Some were gross, like butts and armpits.

After Telus World Of Science we hopped over to see Auntie Dana at work. Then it was off to Costco. We zipped around there and then headed to MP for my weekly coaching session. Auntie Dana came to the pool and picked up the girls and took them to her place. After I was done coaching I went and picked up the girls and headed home.

Tuesday morning we had swimming lessons. Monday was so busy I really didn't want to go anywhere Tuesday morning but alas we got up and went. To be honest I am tired of the swimming lessons. We have done about 5 sessions on Tuesday mornings and I am read for it to be done. We will finish this session and then I think we will be done until fall. After swimming I dropped the girls off at my mom's and went grocery shopping. I have not hit a 10% Tuesday in a long time and while I went in with a small list I went to the checkout with a full buggy. I went and picked up the girls just as they were having lunch. We left my moms and made a quick stop at the pet store for some new fish and then headed home.

I gave up on my book, No Country for Old Men, and have since started 19 minutes. I am enjoying it thus far and think it will be a relatively easy read....long but easy. I will try and revisit it later. I watched a movie tonight, Things We Lost in the Fire. It starred Halle Berry and Benicho Del Toro. It was good...I cried. I think I will start rating movies on the tear factor like the papers use boxes of popcorn...or maybe I should use boxes of tissues.

We have some new crafts to do tomorrow with the girls. They have been painting up a storm since I bought new paint and have played a lot with the homemade moon sand.

I am in a funk and seem to be very emotional. The thing that bothers me the most about it is that I can't pin point a reason behind it. Normally I find myself to be very level headed, go with the flow, and happy but lately I just seem to be funky (and yes I am showering.) I have been getting up in the morning to ride my bike again which feels good but I am tired but midday. The tiredness will pass once it is routine again.

I am tired now so I am going to get Adam his sandwiches together and hit the sack.

Goodnight and I will post pictures from the last 3 days tomorrow.
