Hubby Drinks Too Much

Hubby drinks too much, coffee that is. He has two cups of coffee a day. On the weekend, he treats himself to a venti first thing in the morning, and then an afternoon tall.

Usually, he can handle all that coffee, but this morning he had his tall about an hour after his venti.

All high on caffeine, and irritated by the Christmas traffic, he walked into HMV looking for the regular CD section, while pushing our screaming baby in the stroller. HMV had moved all the sections around. The order of things made no sense, not that it ever does. After 20 minutes of walking around the first floor swearing, and sweating, Hubby realized that all the CD's had been moved to the 2nd floor. Before I could point out the elevator, Hubby grabs the stroller at either end, (baby inside) and stomps up the escalator.

Shocked, and humiliated that I was married to the Hunk, I followed him up the escalator praying we land safely.

Things I Don't Miss About Being Pregnant

I delivered our second daughter Rosalie 3 weeks ago, on November 7th. She was 3 days overdue. Not a huge deal in hindsight, but at the time it was 3 days too long. I had an acupuncture induction session the day before she was born to get things moving. I guess it worked. She came fast, and furious. My first contraction was at 8:45am. I pushed her out at 12:45pm. There wasn't much time for drugs, great for baby, but not for mama. The labour was painful, but the whole time I kept thinking thank god I won't be pregnant  anymore.  This is the list of things I will not miss about being pregnant. Waking up to pee three times a night. Strangers looking at me and saying, "You're ready to pop, eh?". Strangers telling me I was going to have a boy because of how high I was carrying baby. Irregular bowel movements (like I need anything extra taking up space in my belly.) Finding a new stretch mark on my stomach. Having Braxton Hicks, and realizing that the car is p

The journey from my house to my parent’s house is 124 km, includes a ferry ride and takes just over 4 hours. I often treat the ferry voyage as an exclusive cruise through the beautiful clustered display of the Gulf Islands. I like to observe all the homes on the cliff of each island and wonder about their stories. Do people live in those homes all year round? Are they merely vacation homes? If it’s a permanent residence, what do the people do for work? What kind of work is available on the island? Could my parents retire there? It would be a faster trip to see them than going all the way from Coquitlam to Victoria. I love that trip though, especially when it ends with a greeting from my parents who pretend they were not waiting for my arrival the entire time.  There is a sigh of relief that finally I arrived, as I embrace them with a big warm hug. My mom wears the scent of freshly cooked jasmine rice. There is always a meal waiting for me, even when I tell her not to worry and that

She Looks Like Me Too!

Image
I have a beautiful daughter. She is so freakin' cute, I want to cry. So being the narcissist, that I am, it really gets under my skin, I'm being a tad dramatic, that people always say that she looks just like my husband. I admit, he's a good looking man, but the little mouth, the wide round eyes, those are mine. If you look closely at the picture in the background, you'll see me at age 2, sitting in my dad's lap. Eloise looks just like me when I was her age. I'll try to get a copy of that picture on my blog, so you can see for yourself. Would anyone else take offense? Or am I really that vain?
