Must Be Gremlins

Hates being annoyed as soon as I wake up… so here goes the start of my day, mind you, it is only 8:32am and I already have complaints. So last week I was complaining on facebook about how many pairs of mittens Shay has lost already and its only the beginning of January. Not missing a mitt from a set, but 7 full sets of mittens. Our colder weather started off slow in Atlantic Canada this year, well in New Brunswick anyways because we had an “Indian Summer”. I was wearing just hoodies without a coat beginning of December. If any of you are familiar with Canadian winters, you know that’s probably without a doubt, our longest season. We get snow in April/May sometimes. Anyways not only has she lost mittens but also 4 hats and a pair of ear muffs. So early this morning, I frantically searched for a hat.None.She did however have one yesterday so I must have a hat/mitten gremlin that comes along and swipes em all while we sleep. After 25 minutes of a Where’s Waldo type of hunt for Shay’s hat, I gave up.  Whatever. Her coat is brand new, with a nice thick hood so off to school we go. It wasn’t cold out this morning so I figured let’s walk up to school, since it is only 5 minutes away. Which was a God awful,horrible idea considering the sidewalks were nothing but sheets of ice without any sand or salt on them. So the normal 5 minute walk turned into a 15 minute walk as I watched Shay try and maintain her balance as best as she could while almost wiping out not only once, but 7 different times….My day just started and its already a bitch. Uggggggh. 

Hope you all are having a much better start to your day than me. Good morning. Time for some hot tea and a hot shower. love to you all xo

Just To Let Ya Know What’s Up

So it’s been awhile since I actually sat down and posted a new post full of info and pictures letting you all know what’s been going on. Well here she goes:

Shaylyn got a new fish. Her tank is pink, super girly and cute. She originally wanted to name her fish Twinkle so I went all through the pet store looking for a fish that looked like a “Twinkle”. Turns out the prettier betas, just like birds, are male. So we found one and she decided to name him Brody since he’s a boy,and Brody’s house is pink lol. 

 School has been going really good for Shay as well 🙂 Proud mommy. Plus we moved closer to her school. We are literally a 5 minute walk away or a 60 second drive. One street over from my Momma. Not an apartment, nor is it a house like I usually try finding. It is however a duplex and my landlord lives upstairs and is really wonderful and super nice. Plus her husband has type 1 diabetes and told me if I’m ever too low to help myself out bang on the wall and one of them will come down to help me.How thoughtful and considerate is that eh?

Halloween was amazing and is still my favorite day of the year.Unfortunately I didn’t dress up this year. Couldn’t find anything. I did however end up going to a Halloween themed Bday party for my P.I.C.’s brother. The girls dressed up as Monster High characters. 

We also had an ice storm. Havent had one this bad since 1998. Is it bad that I’ve been secretly wishing for one since ’98? I think everything looks so pretty covered in ice. It looks all glassy with a magically wintery look. I hate winter but I love ice storms ❤ ALOT of people however in Atlantic Canada ended up losing their power for quite awhile. 

Shay FINALLY got a hair cut!!!!! Thank you Jesus!! It was getting beyond long and super frustrating to deal with. Plus I don’t have to buy as much conditioner or detangler now nor do I spend 20-35 minutes of my day just to brush it out…she was really cool about the whole thing so we went for ice cream afterwards. I expected her to cry.

Spent Christmas with my 5 favorite girls in the whole wide world. Who are totally cool little kids that just love posing for the camera ❤ Love them all so very,very,much xoxo

Got a card in the mail all the way from Manitoba from my Dear friend Terri-lynn and pictures of her girls which totally brightened up my whole entire day when I seen it in the mailbox 🙂 xoxo

Also got into a car accident. Everyone was okay though. Afterwards maddie and Shay had a Princess PJ Party/sleepover and it was full of junk of course. We did manage to use our new snow cone machine, which the girls loved, so it was great. 

And I have a new found love for Cool Blue Gatorade. Obsessed is more like it. That’s what’s been happening in life. Hope everything is going good for you all 🙂
