Have you ever encountered a friend who then reveals their true colours as a bully? as an ADULT lol

No the title is exact... yes, I have a "friend" that status is now in quotes, as in my mind it's in dispute!


URGH! people can really SUCK!

Oatie is great, in a few weeks he's going for his annual assessment at the hospital.

We are sad to miss the upcoming ABR traning... but C'est la vie!  next time :)

One month on Paleo... and I've dropped 18lbs yay

One month on the paleo lifestyle and I've dropped 18lbs!  Still have 40lbs to go but this is without even trying!!!

It's awesome and I have got my short term memory back, and I can follow a recipe again and I have the energy to read the kids a bedtime story again and I LOVE it... I don't actually like eating meat at all... but if it means that I can roll Oatie and do all the things that I need to get done in a day... I will eat meat.... as long as it's "responsible" farming practices if you know what I mean.

My skin is great and my hair is too and I just feel GREAT!

Finally feeling able to get organised...

I'm an organised kind of person, and I don't like disorganisation, as it's a waste of time totally!  When I execute a plan, it's done to military precision! and no I'm not kidding!  I was a PA lol!

Today I finally got the babies passport done... had a moment of disorganisation when my friend the guarantor forgot to bring her passport the other day and then we both forgot that she didn't phone her number through.. so at the office they were like the form is great but!!!  I was like arghghghg my friend is not home during the day much... nor is she one to carry a cell phone either!  Howerever as Luck will have it... she was home and had her passport to hand!!!!! YAY!

So the babies passport is sent off :) and now I just need to send the Babies and Oaties off to Washington State for our other passports.... We have one dual citizen in the house and that is the baby!

When we got back I cleaned the inside of my car, which looks great and, the kids piano recital has been moved to the week after, after a double booking so we have a free weekend!!!!  There is a disability expo tomorrow so might go to that other then that!  I don't know what we are doing which is also FUN!

But gradually getting things back into a grove and looking forward to getting my rolling time back with Oatie very much so!

Oatie survived his first ever full day at school!

Oatie did his very first full day at school yesterday... He went on the bus and came home on the bus!

He's doing two full days a week as he was missing out on music and computers and some other crafts too.

He had the best day and couldn't wait to get back to school...

It was so nice to see him happy!

My Daughters 8th Birthday

Yesterday we had my daughters 8th Birthday and one of her friends, absolutely loves Oatie,... so much so, that she went and got him some water, and so much so that she helped him with his craft... and my daughters other friend ice a cupcake for him.  That was just so sweet to see my daughters friends interacting and caring for Oatie like he's their little brother too.

My daughter dressed Oatie for her party and my eldest son did his hair and helped him around the house and danced with him at the disco we had in our basement.

We had a great day, best day in ages and yes today we got some more bad news! lol!

Birthday invite!

Oatie has been invited to another party! That is three this year already! Such a contrast to one in Preschool... and when he goes, he's like the guest of honour, it's really nice.

Apparently his sibs tell me he's a bit of a ladies man,... he's polite and always lets the ladies go first!

Now we are getting ready for my eldest daughters 8th Birthday!

still off school

Oatie is still off school.  We had hoped to go to Montreal in May but we didn't get a seat sale and the prices have stuck really high since Jan.  so unfortunately we can't go this May, which is a shame.

I also just started to roll Oatie when he got Croup and still I can't roll him.  His chest is just full...

The others didn't get it, the baby got it slightly... but I'm still feeding her so she was ok.

Oatie is Sick!

Oatie is sick, he got croup... just out of no where and it knocked the poor guy for six!  It really hit him hard, we thought that he would be immune this year as last year he got it mildly.

After he recovered, there was a fever and vomiting bug going around at school so we kept him at home as we felt that if he went in he would end up in hospital for sure... he doesn't have much spare meat on the lad... so we have to be careful.

Oatie has a healthy appetite but has the opposite problem that most of us do... he is lean, (not underweight) but lean lean.... and finds is HARD to put weight on!
