Avleen

I am proud to introduce the newest addition to my familly.

Introducing my new neice Avleen Iris Carroll. Born today May 26, at 9:30 am Cal time. 6 pounds, 9 ounces.

Yahoo! I hope I'm as lucky to have a beutiful baby girl some day.

Congrates Big, Little Sis, Mike and Mannix.

Tub of Tues...Quick Post

Quick post...to busy...to much going on.

Weight - 189.5

Working on the yard. Flower beds, front side walk, new shed, fence going up in June.

Potty training not going well, I've put it on the back burner, Evan isn't ready yet.

Work is crazy.

Crystal is almost ready to pop, my first neice should be born on May 27 by c section.

That's about it. There is much more but I don't have time to type it all.

Take care!

Tubb of Tuesday on Wednesday

Well Evan is doing much better today. His nose still sounds stuffed and he still doesn't want to eat much, but he had a few mouthfuls of oatmeal this morning so here's hopping he's taking a turn for the better.

I totally forgot to weigh in yesterday, so this morning I stepped on the scale. I was very happy to see 191.4. That's exactly one pound off my lightest weight of 190.4 that was last recorded on my ticker. This is also another relatively large loss, about 2 pounds. I'll take it with a smile. Looks like my hard work at Rona is paying off in pounds. Since the last two nights have been pretty nice we've been reving up for our busy season, this involves some lifting and yup running trying to help customers and get stuff done.

I'm having a love hate relationship with our summer season. I remember the craziness, but the shifts flew by. I also got to keep thinking I've got more experience under my belt this year, so here's hoping that makes a big difference.

I got some calling to do. I have to call my Uncle Ian about my sister's baby gift. She wants a double stroller that we can order on line. I think my Dad, Uncle Ian and Earl/I will be chipping in to get it for her. She has her c section scheduled for May 27! I can't believe how fast time is going! I can't wait to see pictures of my new niece.

I also have to call my other Uncle Denny, it's probably about Gorden's wedding, which Earl and I aren't attending for two reasons. 1. it's in Vancouver, can we say $$$$$ 2. no kids aloud at the reception. What do they think we would do! Evan's only 2! Grrrrr. I guess we'll see what Denny has to say, but we aren't going. I don't mind the no kids aloud thing, they sent the choices of dinners in the invitation. It looks pretty fancy, not my style, not fun to me, and definitely not kid friendly. I'm cool with it, it frankly just gives me more amo to say "nope we can't come"

Well that's it for me today. Have a good one ladies!

Board Earl

I'll get to the reason I'm posting in a minute.

First I'll update you on Evan's condition.

Dr Anderson said it's just a virus and that Evan should be improving day by day till the virus runs it's coarse. So that's that, he's a okay.

I know he probably would be, but it's better to be safe then sorry.

Okay so on to my post "Board Earl" I had to work tonight so Earl was stuck at home with sick Evan. Earl got the munchies, Earl decided to bake! Yup that's right I typed bake! Well sort of anyway. He made cupcakes from a cake mix box. He didn't get to the icing since Evan throw up again. He did however clean my kitchen because he had to clean the floor anyway. He also had to do laundry. I won't get into the Gorey details but I figure I should make him board more often, at least I got cup cakes minus the icing out of it. Now if only I could get him to clean the kitchen and at least start the laundry when Evan throwing up every where isn't involved.

Oh well I guess I'll just have to settle for the cupcakes. lol.

Have a good one ladies!

Sick Evan

Well ladies it's been a long weekend of no sleep. Our little boy has one dussy of a cold, or at least I hope it's just a cold. Just to be safe I've made him an appointment today with his Doctor.

He's been running a fever for about 3 days, Friday night it was just a little fever that I thought was just teething, by Saturday night it was a full out sweat fest. He's thrown up twice, once each night Sat and Sun. His nose is like a tap, dripping and dripping, oh and he keeps grabbing at his throat. The throat thing is what's got me the most worried. That's the main reason I've made him an appointment.

Yesterday he ate, pooped and generally did what Evan's do, today he will not eat, and he doesn't want to put cloths on!?! He's just not being himself, this scares me. He wouldn't let me put him down last night, I couldn't leave the room! Earl had to distract Evan with his Black Berry so I could just go pee! Crazy I tell ya.

His appointment is at 12:50, so I'm off to have a shower.

So here's hoping its just a nasty cold.

Hope you have a good Monday. Grrr Jordanna, I would much rather be in Dominican with you drinking fruity drinks!

Tubb off Tuesday

humm Blogger isn't letting me add a picture to this post. So I guess Tub of Tues will have to go picture...less.

Well I stepped on the scale today and I was thrilled to see 190.4! That's like 4 pounds!?! I have been working more hours at work, and despite the snow there's quite a bit left to do, inside anyway. Outside is another story. Rona had to cancel orders for bedding plants, our shrub order has been put off, and our trees are being forced on us. We'll have to find a decent home for them inside, but who in there right mind would buy an apple tree in this snow!

Here's hoping mother nature wakes up soon. I'm so sick of this snow! Especially when its this miserable out, I don't even feel right about taking Evan to the indoor play park!

I don't want to be house bound any more, and frankly either does Evan!

Well that's my snow complaining for the day.

I want to be in Jordanna's shoes, off she goes to the Dominican today. Lucky lady!

Have a good one Ladies, or should I say Lady.

Sam the Suck!

So our newest addition to the Potter familly has now intergrated himself into a full fleged member. Not only is he great with Evan he's also very attached to Evan.

For the last couple nights Evan has been waking up at 3am, I think he sprouting yet another 2 teeth. Anyway, Sam hears him fussing before I do, and seeing that he's part Siamese he can sure scream if I don't get up right away to tend to his new best bud. He scratches at my door as if to say "hey lady! He's up!" He also gets loud when he's not permitted into the room to investigate the problem and make sure Evan is okay. Its funny but also a pain in my butt. He distracts Evan, gets up on the change table when I'm trying to change him and jumps into his crib when I'm trying to put Evan back down to sleep. Sam would sleep with Evan in his crib if I'd let him. I'm planning on letting him when Evan gets into a big boy bed, this way I'll have to leave the door open and hopefully Sam will be past the attacking feet under the cover stage. Lol, kittens!

Needless to say despite these minor problems Sam has turned out to be exactly what we wanted. A kitty with a great kid friendly personality. He actually plays with Evan! He runs past him with a meow to get Evan's attention, then runs and hides in the play tent. Evan of course runs after him, laughing his little head off. Evan gets to the tent and peeks in, Sam runs out past him to one of the tunnel tents, and Evan chases, and back Sam goes to the tent waits and this repeats. It's soooo funny to watch! It entertains Evan for 20 minutes! Believe me that's a long time for a 2 year old!

Well that's my little tid bit of daily fun.

I only have 2 more things to say:

1. Mother nature is a B with an itch. This snow sucks!

2. Have a great day ladies!
