We had Preschool and Come Play With Me this morning. The kid's both had fun! Blake was pretty pumped about the bird house he made in preschool, which he hung off our lilac tree in the front yard!! Emerson seems to be a hit amongst the nannies at Come Play With Me ... lol! They all play with her and talk to her so much! It's cute and funny how she seems automatically taken with them ... typically she doesn't take to strangers quickly or at all. I think if we ever need childcare again we should look for a Filipino lady :)
Cal's been pretty sick the last few days. He had to go to a meeting on the west end early this morning and then back to work for a few hours, but came home at lunch time today. The plan was for him to get some sleep, but that didn't happen! We decided to take the kids to the Dr. after Em's nap. I called our pediatrician, but he was over booked today, so we took them to a walk-in clinic near our house that we've gone to before. Dr. Mitha is pretty good, someone I trust! We find walk-in clinic and medi-centre Dr.'s to be a little sketchy at times!!! Kind of pill pushers, if you know what I mean! Anyways, turns out Emerson has an ear infection in her right ear and Blake has a throat infection and a possible bladder infection. The antibiotic he's on will take care of both, so we didn't do further lab tests to determine whether or not he has a bladder infection, but Dr. Mitha said it is very likely. He's been refusing to go potty and then all of a sudden having a huge accident, which is not like him at all! He's been potty trained for almost a year and has had small "dribbles", but nothing like this. He gets mad when we ask him if it hurts to pee, so who knows if it does or not. Hopefully within a few days Blake and Em will be feeling much better!! It's been a frustrating week for me ... I guess partly due to the kids being under the weather and more grouchy then usual and partly due to me feeling like crap! I'm not handling the whining and crying very well ... Feel sorry for the kids at times and in hindsight :S
Have a great Friday tomorrow :)

Ugh!
Vent time ... I'm feeling blah :S I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and this past week has been kind of rough. I can handle puking and feeling nauseated, but feeling so tired and having no energy really sucks!! I have no idea how people have 4 and 5 and more (GASP!) kids!!! I suppose maybe they space them further apart ... who knows?? My legs are aching, which drives me nuts and none of my clothes feel like they actually fit. For some stupid reason my pants don't stay up. What's with that? I have a big belly for crying out loud, you'd think I wouldn't have to yank my pants up every 5 minutes! What I really want is to have a couple of very lazy, low-key days ... in a hotel!!! lol! Keep dreaming Tracy ... What a whiney brat I am, hey?! But within the 5 minutes it's taken to type this paragraph, I'm feeling better already!! For me, complaining in writing is better then complaining in speaking ;) Thanks for "listening!!"
The kids both have colds, but don't you dare call Blake sick!!! He gets quite offended and says, "NO! I just have a little cold!" What a guy! It really hasn't slowed him down at all, which is good! Emerson on the other hand is suffering a bit. She is waaayyy more whiney and clingy, which is ... challenging! I feel bad for her, but at times I'm thinking to myself, "For crying out loud, it's just a cold!" At least I hope it's just a cold. She hasn't had a fever, but if she's not feeling better by next week I'll probably take her in just to make sure her ears, throat, etc are okay. She had a 3 1/2 hour nap this afternoon (that never happens) and then cuddled up to me on the couch after, which was very nice. Hopefully she'll have a good sleep tonight and maybe be feeling better tomorrow! Cal is getting a cold too :( Hopefully Cold FX will ward off the worst of it.
Cal and the kids had a great day on Monday. The all slept in, which was very nice for them :) I had a good day at work, although the day seemed to go by much slower then when I'm at home. It was nice to work with Kathryn again :) We're not going to the library tomorrow. I don't like taking the kids to programs when they're under the weather, especially sneezing and noses running! I know when I see kids like that out, I often wish their parents would have kept them home, instead of bringing them and spreading the germs!! So maybe we'll do some baking tomorrow!!
Hope the remainder of your week is fabulous :) I have a Sweet Momma massage tomorrow night, which (I'm certain) will make me feel better!!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho ...
It's off to work I go!! I'm picking up some casual shifts at FSHC in the next few months. My replacement has moved on already! She accepted an awesome job with the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine at the U of A, an opportunity that she'd be crazy to let pass by ... I only wish this position would have popped up five or six years from now and I would have applied!! So I'm going to work most Mondays until November or until they hire someone into the position. Cal is home on Mondays, so it works out great childcare wise. And I'll be happy to make some extra moola before the most expensive time of year - Christmas!!!
We had a great weekend! Saturday morning Cal took Blake to his hockey practice and I took Emerson to her swimming lesson. Both kids had fun! Saturday afternoon we headed to Stony Plain to celebrate our niece Jenna's 1st birthday. We had fun watching Jenna opening gifts and enjoying her cake :) The kids also enjoyed playing with many of their cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandma and Grandpa Cameron. It was a great afternoon/evening! Thanks Stony Plain Cameron's :)
Today we spent the day at home. Emerson had a rough night last night. Not sure if that was due to going to bed 3 1/2 hours later then usual or because of the cold she's getting. Thankfully, both kids slept in and my amazing, wonderful, spectacular, fabulous, handsome, etc, etc, hubby let me sleep in even longer :) I felt like crap this morning, but was feeling better within a few hours! Unfortunately Blake is getting a cold too, although he seems to handle the sniffles and sneezing much better then our little drama queen :) Poor Em was totally off today ... hopefully they'll both be feeling a bit better tomorrow for their day home with Dad! They both went to bed great and have been sleeping good, lets hope that continues until morning.
I feel like we have a busy week coming up, but if the kids aren't feeling well we might have to cancel some of our daytime plans. Tuesday/Thursday is the usual, Wednesday we were hoping to go to Sing, Sign, Laugh and Learn with Christa and Berlyn, Wednesday evening I have a Sweet Momma massage (YAY!) and Friday we were going to the Helm's for a play date! Friday evening I am taking a van full of ladies to the Alberta Rehabilitation Coordinating Council Awards in Camrose - ROAD TRIP!! lol! I told them to bring a DVD for the van ride if they want ... lol!! Saturday we have hockey and swimming, as well as a Cameron family function.
I hope everyone had a good weekend and is keeping warm and sane during this dreary weather ... I for one am sick of the rain, although I do prefer the rain to snow at this time of year ;)
Take care,
Tracy
