Our trip via Translink

Heat sometimes makes our brains go funny. I actually thought about the cold Winter/Fall days and thought how nice it was in Christmas. I guess the heat did the trick, but I do love the sentimental attachments of "back to school" with Fall and Christmas with Winter. I'm way past the "school" thing now. Yet, "back to school" sorta brings back memories.

Well, heat brought out the "nasty" in some people. Atleast it did during our Translink trip today back home. I guess we always have to give others the benefit of the doubt. On our trip back, this man tried to get the bus driver to use the phone on the bus to let another bus driver know he left his bag on the bus. As the driver continued to explain to him why she couldn't do it, he got more coookoooo. He even stood infront of the bus and taunted her. Two other translink people came to the rescue after 5 mins. I give kudos to the bus drivers that take shit everyday.

Ernest had his day off today. We were planning a trip somewhere but decided against that after spending $$ on our bikes. I bought a bike trailer for the kids for $35 at a garage sale. Good deal. Now, we have all the gear to go biking with the kids when Madelyn is old enough to sit in it.

Anyways....

We took a trip to MEC to look at bike stuff via the 99 b-line and 98 b-line. Matthew loves car/things with wheels, so he was quite facinated by the bus ride. We parked our car at the park-and-ride. So, i don't feel as guilty for pumping out carbon all the way to Broadway and back. Well..that and the $$$!!!

Had a GREAT time!

It's so cold

It's so cold. I don't want to turn on the heat b/c it will waste energy. Heat in June? Come on. I opt to wear more clothes instead. I really hope it gets warmer soon. But, i'd prob be saying: It's so hot afterwards. We can never be satisfied.

It was a great weekend. Ern cleared out some of the garage by donating stuff and returning the bottles. Not too busy.

Madelyn got her 4 months shots yesterday. It went better than the 2 months b/c I gave her some sugar water. But, i guess i will need to make her a sugar ball next time to really kill the pain. (cross my fingers) Still haven't seen any nasty reactions yet.

I can't wait till Friday when my sis will hopefully be able to babysit my kids again. Ern and I visited the Irish pub on westminster last Friday for 1ish hr. It was nice to consume some alcohol again and listen to a live band. We met a pilot from Thomas Cook airlines from England. He says he loves Vancouver the most. It's cool to meet new ppl.

Madelyn is sleeping on her swing now. I still have the range hood fan on. It's the 2nd day she prefers the swing over my bed. gosh...another thing I have to wean her from later on. yikes!

Great Times

Hmm..It's Thursday. I used to have this philosophy at work:

Monday: eh...not so great..but live through it.

Tuesday: ah..better, almost wed!

Wednesday: Ah..even better b/c it's thursday soon and thursday is = to Friday!

Thursday: Woohoo! Weekend coming BABY!!

Friday: WAHHHHHH!!!! Weekend!

Now, it's:

Mon: 4 days till daddy is off for full days

Tues: 3 days till daddy is off for full days

.... Friday: Daddy is off for weekend!

Don't get me wrong! I love being with my kids!

Monday this week was WONDERFUL! I got to meet the girls and watch my beloved

Sex and the CITY!!! It was ok. I really prefer the TV versions. Sorta missed Carrie's brain powered quotes. There was only one word in the the video: "Love."

And..I missed the song, they only played the first few notes. But, I will still go and buy the soundtrack knowning how a crazy ass fan I am.

Tomorrow i'm going for a manicure from some sista time with my sis at Tao. Hopefully it goes ok since i cut my index and middle finger in my left hand while cutting onions. sheesh..I should be a pro by now.

Matthew has had stomach problems for the past few days. poor guy. what goes in come right back out for him. today, i'm finally taking him to the doc. he doesn't have a fever. glad that ern is coming home early to help me with the doc appointment.

Today, I wanted to go to Lululemon. And..maybe matthew could play in the playarea at oakridge. he fell right asleep when he got into the car. I drove all the way to Oakridge and wasted both gas and my carbon footprint credits for nothing. I ended up driving all the way back. Past by Mcdys to buy some food (the window woke him up). We then went to Richmond Centre (I should have learned by now) and matthew went to the washroom (minor). Then we came home. He was screaming like crazy. I finally put him in the stroller together with Madelyn b/c I couldn't push the stroller and carry him at the same time.

And..on top of all this...I'm continuing to be an ant killer. They are marching right into my kitchen. We will go to home depot today and see what we can do. My cat is once again not deterring any pests. argh!
