Hi Minti... so I did survive my so-called vacation, and I'm home just in time to start my poor baby in day care tomorrow! OMG, it's so scary!
We're easing her into the day care thing, a couple hours tomorrow, a half day Wednesday and a full day on Friday. I almost don't want to send her next week... I wanna spend my last week alone with my baby. I know... but moms can be selfish too! LOL
All in all, life is good! I'm excited to get back to work, excited to have time to get back to the gym (I swear I'll lose the baby weight by the end of summer, dammit!). I am really sad to be sending Lily off to spend the day with someone else! What if she walks for the first time there? What if she cries "mumumumum" all day? What if she forgets about me?
Oh well, I guess it's one more thing that I'm going to have to survive!

Well, you'll all be glad to know that the visit to Toronto went over quite well. There wasn't a drop of blood shed, and I think I have most of my hair left. At least enough for a pretty convincing comb-over.

Lily's sick today, so she's sleeping alot, and I've got time to jump on here and post some pics from her "Pre-Birthday Party". We had a little get-together here at my parent's place, even tho she's not 1 til May 10th (which OMG isn't really that far away! EEEK!!). Actually, the party was mostly an excuse for me to not have to go visit everyone while I'm here, because I'm just so tired of running around all the time visiting people I don't really like. HEHEHE)

***NOTE: Appearently the picture loader and I are fighting... I'll add them later ***

So hi everyone! I've finally got a moment of sancutary to jump on the computer.

Both me and the MIL are still alive, although my tounge is sore because I keep biting it. Aparently an 11 month old will get frost bite and pneumonia, walking to the car with out a jacket in plus 5 weather even if she has a hat and flannel pjs on! Oh and the neighbours will call child services and my baby will be taken away. Forever and ever and GODDAMNIT CHARITY YOUR MOTHER WOULD TELL YOU THE SAME THING. ( well the goddamnit part was implyed, because she doesn't swear. ) 

But since the trip is halfway done, I'm sure there will be no fights to the death as long as I hide in the basement with the baby only to come out to eat and shower and to sprint to the car to go get banana splits ( my comfort food ) and pretend that I am deaf.

7 days to go.... and then I have to deal with my parents!!! ARGH!!!! I need some more coffee... LOL

Peace Everyone

What pin up are you?

We're going to Ontario on Weds, and OMG am I ever dreading it. I can just hear all the criticism... Why isn't she walking yet? She doesn't use a sippy cup?? You don't do this, you do that?? On top of having to travel over half of Ontario to see people... This is just not what I want to be doing the last month I have with my daughter before going back to work!

I just don't know how to deal with it! I feel so nervous about going. They are just so insulting sometimes. I guess maybe they don't mean it, or they have the best intentions or whatever but for fuck sake, it's one thing to say "We dress up for easter supper" and a completely different thing to explain to me for half an hour what dress pants are. I know what friggin dress pants are, and I'm not a child! Yes I do dress like a bum half the time, but it's a hell of a lot easier to play on the floor with the baby in jeans and a tee shirt than it is to in dress pants and a blouse!

And on top of it all, I'm still feeling a little crappy from starting the meds that the Dr put me on. I'm really hopeing that in 2 days most of the side effects will be gone. I just don't know I would deal with all this while I feel shitty.

I hate vacations.
