Wow! Where did the time go?

Oh my goodness, I didn't realize that it's been so long since I last posted on here. I guess that's what not being all there does to one. I guess shortly after I posted last time I ended up getting a case of PPD (Post-partum Depression) as I barely remember much of April, May and the first half of June. After talking to my Dr, she prescribed me some meds and within 2 weeks I'm feeling much more like I did back in January and February. I'm still on the meds, and will be for probably another month, as I have another script to be able to fill it when this one runs out.

Life is getting a bit better, summer holidays have started, my cousin from Finland will be arriving a week from today, I haven't seen him since 1992, so it will be interesting to see him again. I think he might have been 8? so I really don't know how he's grown or really anything about him.

David wasn't feeling good yesterday, he seemed to have had a 24 hours bug, as he woke-up bright and bushy tailed this morning, he is a bit tired, but won't nap without cuddling, so we had a nice nap on the couch just a little while ago, he is still napping, and so is Alun.
Alun on the other hand, he woke up in the grump today, we went to go see the fireworks in Walkerton last night and because he stayed up over 3 hours past his bedtime, wow am I paying for it today. We went to Walmart to get some things (cereal and formula for David mostly) and then that's when he started... oh my goodness. He wanted a water gun and I'm sure most of the store knew that by the time we left the store he was fussing and complaining like no tomorrow.
I can definately tell the meds are working for me though, I was able to keep my cool, except for 1 little outburst in the baby section and then when I was fighting to get him into his car seat I was laughing at him and his tantrum... I was LAUGHING!!! If I wasn't on meds he would have been beaten to a pulp I'm sure of it, I wouldn't have been able to have taken his attitude at all.

So long story short, these meds are WORKING and working great!!!

Well, I hear thumping upstairs already, oh goodness, I hope he woke up in a better mood than he did this morning, we still have to go out and get daddy beer today.
Time to investigate.

Summer is on the way

Wow! The a/c is on already... seriously, it's so humid out I don't dare have the windows open, it may be cooler out there than in the house, but the humidity would cause the parquette flooring to buckle.
We turned on the a/c last night and he haven't had to turn it off to put the heat on yet for the overnight.
Also for the next little bit a friend is going to be staying with us, she is having a little bit of a hard time with things, so we offered our spare room for her to use for the next little bit. How long that will be??? A week, two... longer... who knows, only time will tell.

Well, I have to go and check on the boys, I think I hear something upstairs again.

Happy 4th Birthday to my Big Boy

I can't believe it's been 4 years since Alun came into our lives, a squirming screaming baby boy, and not much has changed... lol

Today Alun had a party at one of my parenting groups, and even had an easter egg hunt to start with and ended the group with a Wall-E cake.

After our afternoon bus run we came home and stayed long enough to get daddy and change David's wet bum and out to McDonald's for dinner. Since it was a birthday dinner, we went in, instead of doing drive thru and Alun even got to play in the play area for a little while.

After we got home he got his gift... a Wall-E game for the ps3. This truly was a Wall-E birthday!

Tantrum anyone?

Oh my goodness, it's been a while since I posted, I didn't really realize it until just now. January and February just seemed to slip past me somehow.
Alun is upstairs right now, he had a major melt down at the Early Years centre about an hour ago, he needed a nap and bad. Thankgoodness daddy is home and Alun will be able to stay napping while daddy parents while playing on the PS3.
As of about a week ago I've gone back to work, I know early, but I needed to get out of the house, somedays it just felt like they were coming in on me. Having to go on the bus and driving just seems to help that feeling go away, especially since I have a country route, so vast open spaces help, except in a snow storm or fog.
David had his christening Feb 1, it went over well, except there was a nasty stomach flu type of bug going around and pretty much everyone that was at the christening got hit with it, even the minister. It was a quick but nasty bug, it only lasted 24-36 hours but it took almost a week to fully recover from that violent stomach and bowel emptying period of time.
Alun is doing well with potty training, he is fully day-time trained, he even learned how to pee standing up last week and now he rejoices in telling everyone that he has learned to 'shoot cheerios' as he zig zags over them. With doing so well, he has gotten a 2 wheel big boy bike with training wheels, he has practiced the pedaling with the training wheels up on blocks, just so his feet get used to the motion of pedaling, now he zooms around the front part of the house, watch out if you are in the way, no pedestrians right of way if he's on this bike. Watch out or he'll run you over!
Well, I had better go and get ready for my afternoon run on the bus, I have to be on my way in about 30 minutes. At least I'll be able to sweep my bus in peace when I get to my first school, Alun seems to enjoy making as much dust as possible when he helps sweep.

I am slowing going crazy.. 1,2,3,4,5,6 switch...crazy going slowing am I... 6,5,4,3,2,1 switch

Yeah that about sums it up. Alun and his tantrums are getting to me to the point where today I was really wondering why am I here and what is the reason why I am here. So don't get me wrong, I am anything but thinking about ending anything here... in fact I am to a point of reflection and wondering why am I being tested so much by my 3 1/2 year old. Life was so much easier only months ago, why am I being put through this agonizing seemingly endless h*ll?!?
Today at Friday morning out we did some fun and somewhat informative personality tests, it was rather helpful especially since I feel I'm getting into a reflective point of my life. I want to know what do I want to do with myself or the age old question what do I want to do when I grow-up? Yes, I know I'm grown-up but at times I still feel lost, I'm just a rat on a treadmill and just going with the flow but not really get anywhere or knowing where to go.
Anyway, I think right now I'm going to go and have a nap, David is settled in the basinette part of the playpen and Alun should be falling asleep after a long tantrum soon. Naps always make things end up being better, at least they do for me.
