More Wrapping

This morning I was really tired. I did not sleep well last night. When I got home after dropping off my son I went back to bed until about 11:00. Then I went downstairs. I was about to wake up my daughter, but she had just come upstairs. So we had our breakfast and tea. Then we wrapped some more Christmas gifts for the rest of the day. Up until I had to go pick up my kids from school. It is my daughter’s early dance day, so we pretty much dropped off my son, my daughter changed and we left for her dance. I dropped her off. Then I drove to Costco to buy a veggie tray for my daughter’s French potluck for school tomorrow morning. It forever to get there and it took forever to get home. I was definitely caught in rush hour traffic. Usually after dropping off my daughter I just hop onto the Anthony Henday and get home fairly quickly. That was not the case when I had to make a pit stop at the Costco! I definitely should have gone to the Sherwood Park Costco!! Oh well, hindsight and all that…Once I was in town I had to grab something at Shoppers, and then I went home. I got home a good hour and a bit later than I usually do!! I made supper while my daughter gave my son a bath. She received a phone call from the hotel in Nisku where she had the job interview last week and she was offered a job!! She is no longer working at the McDonald’s in town. She was very unhappy there. So, hopefully this new front desk agent position works out for her. It doesn’t begin until January 2nd. I hope that it’s a much better fit for her. Fingers crossed. After we ate, my daughter and I started a show, but we weren’t able to finish it. I had to go pick up my daughter from dance. We drove back into town. We stopped in at Sobeys and then came home. I finished putting my son to bed. Then I wrote this. Now I’m going to have a shower and get ready for bed. I’m still feeling tired. Also, my tummy isn’t very happy.

A Wrapping Day And Evening Concert!!

This morning after I dropped off my son at school I woke up my daughter. We had breakfast and our tea. Then we brought up my son’s Christmas gifts. We spent the day wrapping his presents. When we finished my son’s gifts we wrapped the few that we bought for my hubby. Then we put everything away. I went and picked up the kids from school. My daughter had a quick snack, then I drove her to dance. I drove back to town, I picked up my prescription on the way home. When I got home we got my son ready, then we drove to his school for his Christmas concert. It was very short. They only sang 4 songs. 2 English songs, 1 French song and 1 English and French song. Then we picked him up in his classroom. We went grocery shopping at both No Frills and Sobeys. Then we went home. My dad picked up my daughter from dance and drove her home. I drove her to the Dollarama, because she had to buy a couple things. Then we went home and had supper. By that time it was a pretty late supper!! After eating I got my son into bed. Then I did the dishes with my daughter and made some food for my daughter’s lunch tomorrow. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed, because I’m beat!!

Present Organizing Afternoon…

This morning after dropping off my son at school I went back to bed for about 2 hours. I got up around 11:00. I woke up my daughter. We had some breakfast and tea. Then we brought everything that we bought for Christmas to the main floor in the living room. We spent the afternoon organizing everything into separate bags for each person and taking off all of the price tags, so that everything will be ready to be wrapped. It basically took until it was time for me to get dressed and get the kids from school. Once I picked them up, I drove my daughter to dance. I drove home and made supper. After eating my daughter and I watched a couple shows, while my son played a couple video games and then played in his sticker book. Then my daughter started getting him ready for bed. I had to leave to pick up my daughter from dance. She was supposed to be finishing late tonight, at 10:00. When I arrived there at 10:00 all of the dancers were waiting just inside the door with the teacher. I guess that they ended up finishing on time after all. So they ended up waiting. We drove back home. When we got home my son was half awake. He asked me if I would sing to him. I said that I would just get my pjs on. When I got them on, he was already asleep right after! I think he was trying to force himself to try to stay awake, but was too tired. I went on my phone, but now I’m going to get ready for bed, because I’m tired.

Hopefully The Final Time Shopping!!

This morning my alarm went off at 10:00. I actually got out of bed at about 10:45. My hubby, my oldest daughter and my son were going sledding. They also planned on taking my son’s good friend and his friend’s older brother with them. So, I had to get my son something to eat for breakfast. I also had my regular tea and toast. My son woke up my daughter. Once they left, my younger daughter and I got ready to go to the city again. We didn’t finish everything we needed to get done yesterday. So we drove to South Common. We went to all the stores that we had time for. I was able to get what I needed to. I’m pretty much finished. She needs a couple more things. At about 3:00 we drove to my mom and dad’s house. My hubby, oldest daughter and son were already there. My dad and hubby looked at the brakes on the black car. The rest of us played Cranium. It was fun! We almost finished, but not quite. We had to stop playing, because supper was ready. We ate supper. For dessert there was strawberry rhubarb pie and ice cream, as well as coffee for those who wanted it. We stayed at the table talking until it was time to go home. When we got home I did a load of laundry. Then I got my son into bed. I went on my phone for a bit. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. My tummy doesn’t feel that great and I’m tired.

Christmas Shopping Yet Again

Last night I went to bed much later than I wanted to. So I slept in until about noon today. When I got up I had some tea and got my son something to eat and had my regular boring toast. After eating, I wrapped the presents that I bought for the birthday party that my son is going to today. Then I found him something to wear and I got myself ready to go to the city with my younger daughter. My hubby, oldest daughter and son left before my daughter and I. Then my daughter and I drove to Winners. We shopped there for a while. Then we drove to South Common. After shopping for a bit, I got us a bit of food to eat on the way to dance. She had production rehearsal from 5:15 – 6:30. While she danced I went to Walmart. I bought a few Christmas gifts that I still needed to get. Then I went back to the studio and picked up my daughter. We drove home. I put the bags away and my daughter changed. Then I drove her to her friend’s house. She was watching a couple French movies for school. I went back home and my daughter had supper ready. After eating supper, we watched the Antman and Wasp movie. Then I got my son ready for bed. Once he was in bed I went on my phone for a bit. Then I wrote this. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

More Christmas Shopping!!

This morning I actually stayed up after dropping off my son at school. I thought that I was going to sleep really well after yesterday’s procedure, but I actually didn’t sleep well at all!! I kept waking up and spent a lot of time just lying there not sleeping at all!! I was feeling super tired!! So of course I had a bad headache!! I made myself a cup of tea and had my regular plain toast. Pretty exciting stuff I know! Then I wrote in a few Christmas cards for my close friends. I don’t usually get around to doing Christmas cards and I actually only did a couple. I just had a bit of time. I was picking up my daughter after her first block was finished. Even though she didn’t have any glasses, she had an in-class essay in French that she could not miss. I picked her up at around 10:00 and we went to the Vision Gallery. They fitted her with a loaner pair of glasses that she can use until her own glasses are fixed. My daughter was worried about what they would look like, but they were fine!! We got gas in my van, mailed my cards at the Rexall and I bought a couple drinks at Tim Horton’s. Then we went home. My daughter had missed a lot of her second block, so she studied for her test that was going to be in her next class and had something to eat. Then when it was time I took her back to school. I woke up my oldest daughter and she had something to eat. Then we drove to the city together. We did a bit more Christmas shopping. We went to Best Buy and Canadian Tire. Then we drove back home. We had enough time to hide the things that we bought and then I had to go pick up the kids from school. Once we got home I went to Sobeys and got a few groceries. Then I made supper. I dropped my younger daughter off at her school. Her and her friend were volunteering for a movie event at the school and had to be there to set up by 5:30. It went until about 11:00 tonight. I went home after dropping her off. I finished supper. After eating, my daughter and I finished watching a show that we started yesterday. Then we watched Ellen’s game show which is quite funny and fun to watch!! It was a Christmas episode. Afterwards we gave my son a quick bath, so that he’s ready for the birthday party that he is going to tomorrow. Then we watched the Muppets Chambers Carol, we watch it every year. My hubby went to his friend’s house after work, so he said he’d be getting home quite late tonight. Right after the movie ended my daughter texted me and asked me to come pick her up from the school. I went and got her and brought her home. Once we were home I started to get my son ready for bed. I brought him upstairs and he laid down. I started looking for all of the kids Christmas story books. It ended up taking far longer than I expected it to take!! The area beside my bed is now much more organized then it was! However it got really late! My eyes hurt and I am going to bed much later than I intended to!! My son fell asleep on his own while waiting for me to finish looking for things…oops!! Now I’m definitely heading to bed. I’m super-d-duper tired and my head is pounding and my tummy is still so nauseous!! Yuck!!

Gastroscopy

This morning my daughter came into my room in a panic just as I was waking up. She said that she needed me right away. I went to her bedroom. Her glasses were broken!! She had just been taking them off and folding them to set them down and put on her mascara when they broke where the nose piece attaches to the eye piece. She could not find her old glasses anywhere! She ended up staying home from school to look for them. I got my son off to school. I couldn’t call the Vision Gallery right away about my daughter’s glasses, because they didn’t even open until 12:00 today. I went back to bed, but just laid there for about an hour. So I decided to have a long shower before my hubby drove me to the Royal Alex for my Gastroscopy. We left at about 11:30. I called the Vision Gallery from the car at 12:00 and talked to them about my daughter’s glasses. They said that they would only be fixed if they broke in a place where it looked like a manufactures defect, even though they aren’t even 1 year old yet!! My oldest daughter drove my younger daughter to school, because even though she can’t see, she has a Bio test tomorrow and they were reviewing today and she didn’t want to miss it. So my oldest daughter took the glasses in. They said that as a one time kindness they will fix the glasses. The problem is that they don’t have the part and won’t have it until mid March!! So, since we can’t find her old glasses, they are going to pop her lenses into a “loaner” pair of glasses that she can use until hers are fixed in March!! She is damn lucky!! We are damn lucky, because we certainly can’t afford a new pair right now! When my hubby and I got to the hospital, after parking we went to the basement check-in room. They gave me some papers to go through and sign. They called me in so quickly that I hadn’t finished filling in the forms yet. I changed into the gown, filled in the forms, went to the bathroom and then they pretty much started the iv and took me in to have the procedure done. It was all fairly quick without much sitting around at all! Completely unexpected! I brought a book, thinking that I would be waiting around quite a bit, but I certainly wasn’t. They sprayed a numbing spray onto my throat so that I wouldn’t gag when they put the tube down my throat, but it was basically unnecessary, because I fell asleep as soon as they told me to lie on my side and count to two while taking a couple deep breaths as they sedated me. The dr wrote me a couple notes, saying that it looked good. He took a couple biopsies and that he wants to see me in 2-4 weeks. I was able to tell him that I still have the nausea and that I’ve had a lot of diarrhea as well and that I am still losing weight. When I was in recovery they called my dad and said that he could come and pick me up, my hubby had to go to work. After about 20 minutes or so in recovery I was able to get dressed and then I waited, but only for about 5-10 minutes for my dad. Because of the sedation, you’re not supposed to drive for 24 hours afterwards. My dad and I got me a sandwich and tea at Tim Horton’s, because I would be allowed to eat while we were on the drive home. I was still a bit sleepy and slow, but I was starving!! When I got home the kids were just leaving, my oldest daughter was driving my daughter to dance and my son was going for the drive. I was feeling super sleepy, so they all went anyway and I went upstairs and laid down. I slept almost instantly! I woke up at about 6:30, I vaguely remember my son coming in to give me a kiss when they got home. My daughter was making some Delissio pizzas for supper. I went downstairs and helped her cut the pizzas. Then we ate supper. We watched a show together. Then she left to pick up her sister from dance, since I still wasn’t supposed to be driving. My son and I played a couple games. Then I got him ready for bed. I went on my phone for a while. Then I wrote this. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m still feeling extra sleepy.

More Christmas Shopping!!

This morning after dropping off my son I went back to bed for a couple hours. I got up again at about 11:00. I woke up my daughter. We had some breakfast. I made us some tea to go in travel mugs. We went to pick up a couple Christmas gifts. Then we went shopping at South Common again. We got home in time to hide the gifts. Then I picked up the kids from school. I pretty much dropped off my son and then left and drove my daughter to dance. When I got home I remembered that I had to cook something quick for supper, because tomorrow is my gastroscopy and I have to fast after 6:00pm tonight. So I had to scrap my supper plan and make something quicker. I quickly went to No Frills and picked up a couple things, then I came home and made and ate supper. I literally finished eating at 6:00!! Once we finished, my daughter and I watched a couple shows. Then I drove to the city and picked up my daughter and her friend from dance. We dropped off her friend and then I grabbed a few things from Sobeys. Then we went back home. I finished putting my son to bed. Then my daughter and I did the dishes and finished a show that we started before I left to pick up my daughter from dance. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

Another Regular Day!

This morning I went back to bed for a while after I dropped my son off at school. When I got up I woke my daughter up as well. We had some tea and breakfast. Then we watched a couple shows. I went and picked up the kids from school. I dropped them off at home and quickly went to Sobeys to pick up some milk. Then I came back home and picked up my daughter and drove her to dance. Tuesday is her shorter dance night, so I went to Winners while she was dancing. I got a few things. Then I went back to dance and just waited in the parking lot for her dance to finish. We drove home when she was done. We popped into Shoppers when we got into town, because I had a 20% off coupon that was only good for today. So I bought a gift that can be for all of the kids and I used the coupon and some of my points, so it only ended up costing $9.00. That’s a pretty good deal!! Then we went home. My oldest daughter had started supper, I finished it off. After we ate, we watched one show, then I got my son into bed. Once he was asleep, we watched another show while we folded some laundry. Then we did the dishes. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

Interview And Christmas Shopping Day

This morning I stayed up after dropping off my son at school. I went downstairs and turned on the iron. I woke up my daughter while it started heating up. Then I ironed her dress pants and dress jacket. Then we had some tea and something quick to eat. We drove to Nisku, where her interview was. It was not really cold out. So I just stayed in the van with my tea and book while she was inside. When she came out we drove to Leduc, because I had to pick up something for my son for Christmas there. She said that it felt like her interview went well. I guess that she has to wait and see. From Leduc we did a bit of Christmas shopping in the city, first at Winners and then at South Common. We got back in Beaumont in time for her to go into the house to hide the things that we bought and for me to pick up the kids from school. We basically dropped off my son and then I drove my daughter to dance. It rained all day! By the time I dropped her off and was on my way home it had started to freeze and the roads were beginning to get treacherous! I can only imagine how much worse they’ll be now that it’s later!! When I got home I made supper. After supper, my daughter and I watched a couple shows. Then I ordered hot lunch for my son for the next few months at school. My son and I played with paper airplanes for about 20 minutes, then I got him ready for bed. Then I talked to my daughter about dance when she got home. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.
