He is on his way home as we speak. And I can’t believe I haven’t posted since Wednesday. I still get kind of nauseous on the computer so I definately don’t check in every day right now, but I guess I thought I had posted since then.
Thursday, first day without Hubby, was a long one as J decided to climb into bed with me at 3:30 while the snowplows were out clearing the streets from our mini-storm. He rolled over me until 5:00 when he announced it was time to get up. I made him stay put until 6:00 but it wasn’t a restful sleep for sure.
My Mom stopped by on Thursday, ok, I invited her to stop by to help me tackle one of my To-Do’s from my list. We started at 9:30am and finished at 2:00pm. We cleaned the Loft. It was item number 2 which actually was to finish setting up the proper office, except I couldn’t do that until I cleaned it out. My Mom can’t do one room at a time, so she tackled A’s closet which was full of pretty much nothing. So together we got it all cleared out, cleaned out and ready to be an office once again. Hubby will die of shock for sure, that and the three bags of garbage and a bag of clothes that needs to go out.
J realized that we didn’t make any Valentine’s on Wednesday so I pulled out the craft supplies and we made a bunch of Valentine’s to give to his cousins and Aunties.
Lego. Lego. And more Lego. I have made planes, boats, space ships, and have a huge headache from playing Lego. Or I should say from building with Lego. Why can’t they make things that don’t fall apart? You spend 2 hours making a ship and within minutes half of it has fallen apart. And if your kid is anything like mine he wants it fixed over and over and over again. Yikes. At least I got a reprieve yesterday when I hung out at my Mom’s. My Dad, who has never owned Lego in his life, and has big hands not meant for Lego building, spent the afternoon playing Lego with J. Wow, that was a break for me.
Can’t wait for Hubby. I need a nap and to run far, far away from the Lego!
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
And what a day it is. The snow is falling fast and although it looks very pretty, it is really sucky to drive in. The temperatures are just cold enough and the wind blowing just right that the snow is creating an icy surface for your tires to barely grab onto.
Hubby, wonderful Hubby, bought J and I each our very own box of chocolates. He usually isn’t in to Valentine’s day, but I guess with the fact that he is now sitting at the airport waiting to take off for Brussels, that he was feeling a bit guilty.
Yes, Brussels. That makes two exotic places I would love to see that Hubby has gone to (or is on his way to, if his planes all take-off on time). I just don’t think I am cut out to have a husband that travels. It still doesn’t make sense to me that he travels for 12 hours one way for an 8 hour meeting and then 12 hours back again. But, who am I to complain, I am snug as a bug here at home. And he is going to see wonderful Belgium, hope he brings me some real chocolate back. And for his sake I hope his planes all take-off and make their connections or he will be one unhappy Hubby.
So, that my friends is my Valentine’s. A little chocolate, and an evening with J. I hope you all have a little more excitement lined up for you on this Valentine’s day.

We did it! We registered J for school. It was actually very easy, but it still took an hour. I was hoping to be there first thing in the morning so I could get the morning class, but I did not have my immunization record, so I had to pick it up from our Doctor’s office. By the time I got to the school it was almost 11am.
There were about six other families in front of me and it took almost an hour to get through them all. Finally, it was our turn. J wanted to go start his class right that minute, but thankfully the administrator was good at explaining that it will be a while before it all starts. I keep trying to tell him that until he has his number 4 birthday he won’t be going to school, but since he and his cousin like to play birthday he is a bit confused about when his real birthday is.
I am hoping for the morning class, as we are morning people here in our house, but apparently everybody wants the morning class, so because I wasn’t there early enough I may get relegated to the afternoon. If that happens we will just have to learn to adapt.
It is truly hard to believe that J is going to be 4 this summer and will be starting school this fall. It feels like yesterday that he was just born and I was trying to figure out how to get him to sleep through the night. And here we are now, trying to prepare him for school with other kids. It will be such a wonderful experience for him. We are planning to put him into French Immersion in senior kindergarten when he is 5 but for now he starts off in English. We are fortunate to have a wonderful school right around the corner from our house, I hope I don’t cry too hard on his first day!
