Moving Into March

Yay for March. I’m so, so, so, so, so (you get the idea!!) tired of winter. Now, I live in Alberta so March is still winter, but it’s finally (usually) the milder part of winter. We may get another snowstorm or two, but hopefully no more -30 degree days!

Also looking forward to a wedding reception in mid-March, was hoping I’d be mid-way to goal weight by then, not looking so good right now! Guess I’ll have to work a little harder the next two weeks!

Oh and yeah – I’m starting March off with a bang (a good one hopefully, lol). If you follow me on Twitter you already know about this but I was interviewed by an anchor for our local CTV station about my Twitter usage, including how I’ve used it to build up my VA business. The spot is airing on Monday night (March 2nd) and I should be able to link to it by Tuesday sometime. You know, assuming I actually get a blog post up on time for a change!!

Ok, planned to write more tonight but I had a glass of wine (and I’m not even a wine drinker usually!) and I’m feeling seriously sleepy. I think I may go to bed early for a change and catch up. I worked until 11 or 11:30 pretty much every night this week and while I know I made some clients happy, I’m left feeling worn out. Especially since last weekend was horrible for sleep due to all the sick kiddos. Soy still has a runny nose but otherwise everyone is pretty healthy, so hopefully this weekend will be much better. Plus tomorrow night I’m having scrabble night with the BFF, so it should be a pleasant weekend – only better if DH was home instead of still working away!!

Night all!

Baby Growing Up

I just had to share, my 7yo lost his first two baby teeth today!! He looks so cute!

Bye Bye Baby Teeth

Just another step on the way to growing up – his adult teeth are already visible, they pushed those baby teeth right out of the way!

And on that note – do you do the tooth fairy in your house? I’ll be leaving a couple of quarters under his pillow (he shared that was what his classmates have received – he’s one of the last in his class it seems to be losing his first baby teeth!)

Grandma is Coming!

I love when my mom comes to visit, even though it’s usually just for a few days and the poor woman has to try and spend time with me, my sis and my grandma! But I finally decided I need a decent bedding set for the guest room (she’s really the only guest I have sleepover) so this afternoon I’m hitting Walmart to try and pick something up. I also need to grab a new tea infuser or two or three (and maybe some new tea while I’m at it!)

After shopping we’ll have the ever so fun task of organizing the guest room. Between visits it is the disaster area known as a toy room and you can barely walk in there right now! Because it’s not big and has a dual purpose it doesn’t have a lot of floor space to begin with, so it always requires a bit of work before a visit.

Fortunately I got most of my client work done this am with a bit more to do later. I’ve actually posted semi-regularly on my own blogs this week and I’m feeling pretty together, especially considering DH is out of town for work!

Of course I do have one big dilemma for tomorrow and grandma may be my solution. I’m the parent helper at preschool and planned to put Soy in his first ever childcare program for a couple of hours (same building). Of course he’s getting a cold today, and can’t go to the childcare if he’s sick. But I can’t miss being the helper mom, it’s skating day and they really need everyone. So I’m thinking maybe grandma will be a helper mom in my place! I guess we’ll decide for sure tomorrow!

Hopefully I’ll also find some time this weekend to work on a header for this blog (interesting but not easy for me, so it’s taking some time!) If I could get some good recent pics of the boys I might just use that for a big part of the header, but I’m not too sure yet. It’ll be done eventually!
