It’s a grey blah feeling day in Ottawa today. I felt happy that I wasn’t scheduled to
work, as it’s a PD day for the public school board, and that is what the
nursery school schedule follows. I realized I am due in 40 days as of TODAY. Wow.
Although, I must say I am certainly feeling it. So, a day
at home to take it slow is just what I
was feeling! I was happy to spend the
morning cuddling and reading with the kids, and watching a few cartoons with
Jesse while refereeing Janna and Coopers wrestling match(video post to come on
facebook).
However- we needed a trip out by 10:30 as everyone was
getting ancy, so we stepped out to get a few groceries. Jesse had whiney break down in the store,
wanting everything and not wanting anything.
He just about melt-down with every item I tossed into the cart. I was
just motoring down the aisles wanting to pay and get outta there! Crossing the parking lot a box fell out of the
bottom of my cart, resulting in a near topple
over, and then a man proceeded to lecture me that Janna should be buckled into
her seat properly. *Sigh* (I do buckle Janna into the grocery cart for
the majority of the ride, but when she gets bored at the checkout I take it
off, and she occupies herself by clicking it together over and over and over
for the remainder of our excursion.) I
just said nothing and kept moving.
We got home and I was feeling very pregnant and so tired and
hungry. Trying to put away groceries and
get lunch made while you and your children are both starving is always a test
in patience, but we got it done.
Shortly after, the doorbell rang with a mail carrier
delivering packages. One for Katie, and
one for Baby Vance 3! How exciting! Her first package J The mail carrier was one I hadn’t seen before,
but very nice. She came right inside the
house as she noticed the dog trying to escape and my hands full. She showed Jesse her scanner and how it
worked and was very sweet with both of the kids. I love people like this.
Our package was from Nana Vance, and Jesse proceeded to very agressively rip open the package. He and
Janna excitedly tried on all the gorgeous homemade knit things she sent. Thanks Sharon,they are beautiful! She also included some new things for baby 3
like a sleeper and bibs and burp cloths.
All things I do have- but SO special to get something brand new for this
little bundle on it’s way. Lots of purple,
which I love, too. It was definitely a highlight
of the day!
The kids are now down for their naps, and the sun is
starting to peek out of the clouds, making me feel warm and calm even though I’m
exhausted and tired. Hope everyone has a
great long weekend. Thanks for reading! I’m out.
Glad you liked them!
