Trying to keep Wyatt happy...
We can`t get Ethan to smile for pictures so we tell him to `Show us your teeth``. He will only show us his bottom teeth and this is how it turns out!
WELL not too much going on here, we have been busy busy busy and of course trying to get as much time as we can in with Kelly while he is home. The kids having been getting up around 7:30 lately which really doesn't sit well with Kelly. Kelly is not the friendlest person in the world when he has to get out of bed before 10. I think he has been drinking at least three coffees a day. Yesterday was a tough day for him, both Wyatt and Ethan had three giant poops. Wyatt's were all breaches and required bathes. Ethan was really clingy to Kelly and very whiney and Wyatt was his usual self (extremely fussy). Over dinner, Wyatt was screaming and Ethan pretty much threw his entire meal on the floor. Kelly was kind of losing his cool.... In his words... "I didn't sign up for this, I signed up for cuddles and playtime".... Followed by... "I need a break".... Pffft... a break Kelly? YOu have never been with the two kids EVER by yourself.... I'll give you a break when I get a break! Anyways it was somewhat satisfying watching Kelly freaking out and MAYBE realizing just a small tidbit of my everyday! Ha Ha...
So lets see. I'm sick and SO INCREDIBLY sore from the two TRX workouts I`ve done in the past two days, I can seriously hardly move. Apparently i`m not doing it enough. Anyways Wyatt is sick AGAIN. His cough went away for all of two weeks and it is now back. Coughing all night again, I`m going to try to book him in with the doctors this morning. I`m going to send him with Kelly because Kelly is just so livid that they won`t do anything for him, I figure he can get some answers out of them. I mean come on, there has got to be something eles going on, he has been sick and coughing for three out of the four months of his life! Virginia on the phone last night said something which really made me laugh but actually could be the problem. SHe said it would be funny if Wyatt was allergic to the cat. Funny in that we have spent about $4500 on the dang cat since we got him and to have Wyatt be allergic to him now would just be the icing on the cake. So that is something that we can ask the doctor about!
I`ve been selling things on KIJIJI, things that we are no longer using. I`m going in the swap meet in April but I thought I would give kijiji a shot at a few things before that. So far i`ve only sold one thing. I sold the exersaucer (and yes I realize I just bought it but Wyatt is far more into the jumperoo). Anyways I bought it for about $23 and sold it for $30. Kelly was very impressed. His new idea for my life career is to go to all the Salvation army`s and buy cheap toys and sell them for more on Kjiji, now how fun does that sound... not so much. WE also finally have someone coming to look at the car on Sunday, but after Kelly got off the phone with them Kelly told me that he didn`t really want to sell the car, he just hadn`t told me that.... So I might just take Molly off Kijiji.
I`m on week four of my budget, and each week I have been able to SAVE money. I`m very impressed with myself. Kelly said he didn`t think I would be able to do it, so it has been my mission to prove him wrong. Every Tuesday I head to the bank and take out $350. This is to last me the week and is to include food, gas, diapers, everything you can think of. It has really made me think about where I spend my money (although Tim Horton`s fits into my budget nicely). I realize that $350 is actaully a fairly large amount of money for the week but last week I JUST made if. On the weeks that I don`t spend it all I put it into a jar to save for things (ie. Ethan`s birthday present, a new carseat for Wyatt, Flgihts to Courtenay for Kelly). I have an envelope that I put money in if I use my credit card (I use my credit car at the gas station so I don`t need to leave the kids in the car and go pay and I also buy a few things online). Anyways I`m impressed with myself that I can do it, and I think that when Kelly gets his next mastercard bill he will be even happier with me!!
I`m sure I could think of more things to ramble on about except I hear Wyatt waking up and I`m sure Kelly will sleep right through it (even though I turned the monitor on full blast, Kelly can sleep through anything).
High Five Les! Proud of you with you budget action! woo!!
