Good Morning:)

and a busy morning it is already! The first day back to playgroup since the Christmas holidays... Haillie is excited to go and see her friends! Sooo now when mommy jumps in the shower little Morgan also decides she should be allowed in too and play in the bottom of the tub..so i guess in a way it keeps her outta trouble!

Sean started back to school on Wednesday so our house has been full of chatter about what all of his friends did over the holidays! It's interesting to hear all of the different things that families did. .. unfortunatly one of his friends was attacked by a dog :( not very fun. He will be okay but still his poor little leg is awfully marked up from it.

The kids spent a couple of nights at their daddys the first of the week and had a good time:)

My double stroller unfortatly took a turn for the worst on Thursday, with the wheels snapping off while we were on Smythe street soo im in the market for a new double stroller. I'm hoping i can find a second hand one but so far it looks like i'll be hitting up the sale at Toys R Us!

So, we are off to the Meeting Place now for Playdate :D til noon

Hope you are all enjoying your first week back at things after the holidays!!

It is 2010!

Good evening everyone...hope the night went well for everyone and the New Year was brought in happily and those that chose to drink did so responsibly without driving:) I had a quiet night, a friend came over we watched "7 pounds" which is an awesome movie with Will Smith in it for those who may be interested and went to bed and asleep by 1am honestly.

Tonight just seems to be one of those rough nights where i just want to cry. I guess it comes with the package deal of separating from someone you've been with for 7 years but also i had my days mixed up and told the kids that daddy would be coming to pick them up tomorrow for a couple nights only to later realise that its Saturday NOT Sunday...my bad :( i guess i'll have to make it up to them...especially Sean.

I've been having to deal with Sean's attitude lately..it seems that its a constant power struggle between him and I over EVERYTHING! Does anyone else seem to have issues with their 6 yr olds? It seems as though everytime i turn around he's trying to pester his little sister or something..the worst right now is when i ask him to do something for example "could you make your bed Sean" and he screams, throws things and calls me mean mean mean mommy...i mean it hurts to have your kid screaming at you but at the same time...is it really so much to ask to have a little bit of help around the house? especially in their own room? So I'm thinking i might start a chore/sticker chart up for him to see how that goes. Honestly i think part of his problem is school doesn't start back up til Wednesday and he misses his friends and having a break from his sisters.

My apartment is in serious need of a top to bottom cleaning i just dont know where to begin. With the little ones running around it feels overwhelming to know you've just spent hours cleaning only to turn it around and have it all destroyed again. I really don't know how families of 6-7 children do it!! Especially those with triplets etc...i guess it's one thing that you can say is never-endiing..oh yes and laundry too!
