Two nights ago, I learned what it's like to be (somewhat) British!
A few friends of mine came over for tea. One of them has family in Britain, and we thought it might be fun to have a tea party. Mind you, it wasn't at the right time, we gathered at my place after dinner, but it was a lot of fun.
Clotted cream, strawberries, scones, apple crisp, and a nice tea set. We gossiped over tea and dessert, and we really enjoyed our time together. What a night :)
Daddy and I are very tired this morning. We had a feverish baby last night. From 1 to 4. Zzzzzzzz. Thank goodness this morning he's his normal self. We suspect teething.
Oh, oh, oh! And since the dollar is par with USD, I'm thinking about going shopping in Syracuse! I don't need much, but heck, I can find something I need! I'll have to find myself some friends to drive over there with, I'm not a fan of going through customs by myself. I'm a big wuss.
Now, time for nap, for both Baby and Parents... nighty night :)

Hockey coach meltdown
This has made the news a week or two ago. I just had to post it.
The American League's Abbotsford Heat coach, Jim Mayfair, lost his mind as a referee kicked one of his players out of the game. I saw it on the news and my jaw just dropped...
An adult throwing a tantrum.

Baby is amazing! And so is my soup.
I'm so impressed!
Went to fetch Baby at daycare today. He was going for 3 hours this week, to get used to the place. Daycare lady told me it takes a few weeks for them to get accustom to the environment, the other kids, the food, etc.
Well well, not my Jacob! When we got there, he was sitting with an older girl playing with the same toy! All the other kids (babies and toddlers) were in the other room. No, Jacob likes to be alone with girls...!
I was told that he could start going full time as of tomorrow because he's a really good baby....
Hear that 2 other daycares I went to that told me my baby was a bad one...hear that!!! Et vlan dans les dents!
In other news: My boss is going to Cuba, I'm so jealous. My good friend is an aunt for the second time, a boy. I'm now preparing leek and potato soup, and stew in my crock pot. Aaaand that's about it. Oh yeah, and Daddy and I are thinking about getting a joint account...damn it's complicated to have our money separately :)
And a special shout out to two of my friends who have made my day this week. Mel P., the girl with the smile, the charisma and the camera. I wish we'd see you more often. Don't forget to come ring our bell soon, or we'll have to start stalking your house. And my good friend Chris L., also known as Link, who's a great guy from North Carolina, has his morning coffee in the best place on Earth and is the best FarmVille neighbour a girl could have. Looking forward to completing jobs with ya Chris! And not to say you're old or anything, but my dad was born the same year as you....lol!! Love ya!
For soup tasting, tickets will be on sale tomorrow...if there's any left!
Good eeeeeeevening, as Poirot would say....(Poirot...leek soup...oh, the possibilities...)

Ummm, what?!
Just called back the daycare to let them know I wasn't going to be needing their spot.
And guess what...in an hour, they gave the spot to someone else...MY SPOT!! Oh, how they are lucky that I was calling to cancel, because I would have showed up there with some really bad words for them!
Wow, now I'm really appreciating my current daycare!
Conclusion: Life is well planned out. Even if you don't believe it is. And a lot of assholes work in daycares, thankfully, not mine.
Eff you, other daycare, for giving my sport away in ONE HOUR after noticing me. Eff you!
Now, back to our regular programming...

What a good morning!
I can now exhale.
Baby went to daycare this morning. I took him, a tear in my eye. My heart sagged when I left, but I knew he was in very good hands. Thank goodness I was at a hair appointment, one of my favourite thing is having my hair done, so it distracted me. Hubby went to get him and he was told he had a nice morning, that he was a "good little chief"! Aaaaaaand breathe out....
I'm still sweaty from the stress (maybe I should go change my shirt..), but I'm so relieved!
On another good note, my hair looks super! Got some highlights and some bangs to hide the baby hair that's sloooooooowly growing back. Ain't that swell!
And to top things off, ladies and gentlemen....we got a call for a subsidized daycare, the one that we were eying for a long time! And you know what? They can give my spot to someone else. My daycare may be stupid expensive, but she's a mother of 6, worked as a nurse. Now try to top that, mister!
So the rest of the day will be spent hugging Baby and kissing him, as I missed him a lot this morning. Tomorrow, I will relax and maybe find a few caches, something I've been itching to do for a few weeks!
It's cloudy, but there's sunshine in my life!

A New Day has come
Just like Céline says.
Tomorrow starts daycare. I write about it tonight because I'm sad, scared, and excited. Pretty confusing emotions.
Sad that my child will now be spending his days with someone other than me.
Scared that he will be stressed, anxious and will have difficulty adapting to this new life.
Excited that I get a break, that I'll be having somewhat of a vacation before I go back to work, excited that I'll be able to get back to geocaching, biking, shopping.
I guess separation anxiety does not only occur in babies!!
Wish us good luck!! This week will be a hard one, but will start our life on a new path, a new beat.
Good night, invisible friends....I need a hug right now!! xox

Sitting on the porch
Tonight was a lovely night.
An old friend from high school lives a few doors from me. We say hi from time to time on Facebook, but tonight, I decided to do it the old fashion way.
I took Baby in my arms and went to ring her doorbell.
She was watching tv, I don't know if I was disturbing her show or what, but she let me in anyways. I had not called ahead, not planned it, I just went to say hi.
We sat on the porch for about an hour, just catching up, talking about life in general, gardening, kids...
I went home a happier person.
Sometimes, you just have to ring someone's doorbell to find out how life is beautiful. The simplest things.
I had a great night talking with you Mélanie, I hope you come ring my doorbell too from time to time.
A great night indeed.
Ring someone's doorbell this week, you'll see what I mean.
