The last couple of days, my 6 year old daughter is absolutely ADDICTED to Petland! We went there at the beginning of the week to see a puppy that my sister was interested in, a Chihuaha cross Daschund. Well, thus began my weekly Petland visits. One of the brilliant employees at Petland decided to show Court how to hold the Cockatiel. She begged, and begged, long after the employee had disappeared, "Mommy, let me hold the bird again, come on, I know how!" Let's face it...I didn't want to tell her that I knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about birds, let alone how to handle one. So, I began being Sherry, the Bird Lady. I picked it up, let her take it off my finger, pet it. Feeling pretty confident, we walked around the store, all the while thinking, I can handle these vermin! Yup, I rule! Anyhow, that feeling didn't last longer then about 30 seconds. Next, she begged me to hold the guinnea pig. I said flat out "no way." Strolling over to the hamster pen, I said with confidence "but I can pick up the hamster." I chose the most docile, sleeping hamster (master that I am!). It stayed sleeping in my hand as my daughter said her ooohs and aaahhhs. Just then, the thing took a flying leap right out of my hands and flipped onto the floor and started to run! I ran after the thing yelling until I caught it, and flipped it back into it's cage, and then with real poise started looking around to make sure nobody had seen me almost kill one of the animals! My daughter was shaken up, but then we both started laughing hysterically. I said, "Courtnay, I don't think mommy is very good at holding these animals." She said, "it's o.k...I think you're right!

Note: To post a comment, press the teeny tiny ladybug at the end of this teeny tiny TT. Thank you a teeny tiny bunch! 1. I'm going to guess insulation. Wall insulation, water leaking in on the plywood flooring? TV in there, too? -Chaotic Mom 2. Is it a beehive? Seriously, we had something verrry similar to this on our sun porch, and the nasty thing contained thousands of bees. Ewwwwww. - Jill 3.. Grandma's wig with an brain drainage....? -Mrs. Lifecruiser 4. Hmmm . . . it looks like some kind of experiment gone wrong that is leaking (fluffing) out of the plastict baggie. Like some chemical reaction to the plastic baggie that poofed up like cotten candy. - Michelle 5.I feel like I'm at a baby shower or bridal shower trying to identify the objects on a tray after it's been taken away;-) Is it a plastic bag sitting between a tv and a bouy....in an attic (looks like some kind of pressed board) also see a bowling ball pin and some baby things....is this the inside of a van or camper? I'm not sure....something created by a little person? Thanks for stopping by. Guess I better read your TT;-) -Lynn There were only 5 takers, so I will reveal the answer. This was the source of great frustration for the whole family all summer. It made it next near to impossible to sit in our back yard without running around swinging and swatting. We tried spraying, and exterminating all summer to no avail. We just had our first snowfall, and was finally able to safely enter our shed. This is a huge wasp nest that was inside of the shed in our backyard. It's the most incredible thing I have ever seen. These wasps built about a 7 story wasp condominium over the summer, and the most amazing thing was the nest is actually camouflaged to look like the patio umbrella it is built on. A big thank you to all that gave a guess! |

We have had to place my grandmother into a nursing home. No small feat. She has lived in the same apartment for the past 30 years, and did not want to leave. She has Glucoma and Macular Degeneration and woke up to find herself completely blind. We have quite a small family, and between dealing with my grandmother, Art being away for three weeks, Courtnay starting Kindergarten, Taylor starting preschool and my mom moving it has been a trying month.
But I'm back! Yaaaahhhhhh!
I began Weight Watchers last week...again. Despite eating a huge Thanksgiving Dinner, Cheesecake, Brownies, and Pumpkin Pie, I still managed to lose 3.5 lbs! The thing I have the most trouble with is drinking 8 glasses of water a day. I've been trying to drink my water with slices of lemon to give it more flavor, but it's still tough. I've also had to go through a detox...hello, my name is Sherry, and I'm a Pepsi Addict! I had to go from drinking 6 cans of Pepsi a day, to switching to one can of diet Pepsi per day. Yikes! I couldn't believe the headaches I have had all week. Who would have known?

KINDERGARTEN DAYS
Courtnay's first days of kindergarten... turns out the transition has been way tougher on baby sister Taylor! She's having a tough time without big sis, and big sis is having a tough time trying to take the spotlight. All in all, it's been a very exciting time for us all!

2. When you style your hair in the morning, you wear pink butterfly clips in your hair that match your daughters. 3. Even when the kids aren't in the car, you still play their Barney CD. 4. When you go to the bathroom, instead of reaching for the toilet paper, you reach for the wipes! 5. After you've gone to the bathroom, you give yourself a sticker on the "potty chart." 6. When you have company over for dinner, you "blow" on your guests dinner to make sure it isn't too hot. 7. You buy pajama's with "feet." 8. You start talking "baby talk" to whoever you're talking to on the phone. 9. You are starting to really really like their cartoons, and have each one incorporated into your "tv" tuning scedule. 10. Your favorite snack is "fruit to go" bars. 11. The most interesting gossip you have when you get together with the girls happens to be that your neighbor doesn't have their child enrolled in dance class-blasphemy! 12. You pack fruit roll ups and peanut butter sandwiches in your hubby's lunch. 13. Your favorite past time lately is running through the sprinkler! |

The most popular novelty item at Folklorama this year! The "Fat Bastard" hat at the Scottish Pavillion! Imagine grown men (and women) intoxicated running around yelling "get in my belly!" wearing this hat. Quite flippin' funny! My favorite phrase wearing this hat, (not that I did this wink wink-was "if it's not Scottish it's crrraaaaaapppppp")

Thirteen Things about Fort Nelson For the past two weeks, my husband and I have been deep in thought about relocating. He has been offered a management position in Fort Nelson, BC! It is a fantastic opportunity, but I have lived in Winnipeg and the thought of relocating has me really really stressed! It's why I've been a little negligent with my blog recently. I have family and friends here that I have known my whole life, but I know I have to think of our family first. Here are 13 good reasons why we should relocate to Fort Nelson: 1. Low Unemployment Rate 2. Small Town Atmosphere (Population of 4000) 3.Located in the Northern Rockies. 4. Full Northern Living Allowance from Revenue Canada. 5. Quality Education. Also my little ones are at an age (3 & 5) where it is the perfect time to go. 6. Quality Health Services. (They have a hospital, and medical clinics) 7. Quality Recreation (Lots to do! Rec Centre, Library, WhiteWater Rafting, Hiking, Movie Theatre, Liard Hot Springs, Horse Back Riding in the mountains, great fishing) 8. Year Around Outdoor Activity. The weather is so mild all year round, you can enjoy the outside all year, instead of just 4 months like Winnipeg. 9. Great Salmon Fishing! There is a lake right at the town. 10. Good schools and preschools. 11. I would finally be just a car ride away from the ocean! Right now, we are smack dab in the middle of North America. 12. Northern Tax Deduction at income tax time. 13. My husband's salary would triple, or even more. He would get a percentage of what his branch makes each year, and with the oil rigs out there, it would be very sweet! |
